Darkhorse has posted the preview for this Luke Skywalker One-Shot up:



Luke Skywalker and the Red Squadron are flying escort for a secret Rebel intelligence operation on a supposedly unpopulated planet, when they run into an unexpected Imperial patrol. With half the squad trapped on the ground, and the secrecy of the mission in peril, things don't look like they could get any worse for the Rebels. But then Luke makes a discovery that hearkens back to the galaxy's last major conflict-the Clone Wars-and it's a surprise that could either save them, or destroy them!

Another groundbreaking story that helps to tie the prequel films to the original Trilogy-in a way that will surprise and excite Star Wars fans of every generation!

Preview=#26 Preview

Like the cover, like the art. I think I'll get it.

Wow, so this sets up #27 and Jabiim, somehow? Wonder what he finds??

Great art! I can't wait to get this one. I must be behind on comics, what comes out this week and next?

No, I don't think that it sets up 27 because that's one focusing on Boba Fett, but it certainly looks like it will set up that 5 comic series.

I've heard that somewhere, but I have no clue where, or what happened to it. It might be after Jabiim.

Yeah, I did too.

In fact I have a friend whose a big Mara fan looking forward to it. Hmm.

Which Empire has Luke on Jabiim trying to bring the rebels over to the Alliance? I thought that was 27 confused

Idiot's Array is out this week, right? Does it have Boba Fett in it?

The Boba Fett one is 27, which has a cover up online over at DH. 28 is the first Jabiim one IIRC

Che, like we need a comic to tell us that the name Skywalker is synonymous with "enemy target." tongue

I'm too lazy to look it up. Is this a one-shot or a mass multi-parter? And how do they plan on tying thinsg together when movie III isn't out yet? Hmmmmmm...!

From another thread:

Randy Stradley (DHC Editor and boss-man)has said that there will be a Mara Jade issue, probably issue 28 of the Empire series.

Empire currently is up to 6 months after A New Hope so this story will definitely be set before Empire Strikes Back.

Randy's post is about halfway down

Nope, 28 is the Boba Fett one while 27 is the Clone Trooper one. My mistake on that one. I wonder if Mara Jade has something to do with the Boba Fett one, or if it's been moved around.

The Mara story is either somehow part of one of the upcoming issues, or has been bumped back after the Jabiim arc.


26 and 27 are a two-parter, apparently titled "General Skywalker".

Really? That would make some sense. I wonder if 26, 27 29-34 will be all collected. It seems like they're all connected somehow, and if they are, that will be one weighty TPB

It would be interesting. Mara meets Luke before HTTE?

General Skywalker? Wow. Luke makes general. happy

Unofficially, he does...

(spoilers)

They find a clone trooper on the planet, who assumes Luke is a Jedi (thus a General) by his lightsaber.
