As previously reported, a series of comics are set to fill-in the gaps between the events of the last “Star Wars” film, “Return of the Jedi” and this year’s “The Force Awakens”. The 30 years of backstory will be rolled out in a bunch of inked offerings, beginning with four part mini-series “Shattered Empire”.
A synopsis for the first title hit today…
“Emperor Palpatine’s twenty-year reign of terror came to an abrupt and fiery end in the skies above the forest moon of Endor. A decisive victory for the Rebel Alliance, to be sure, but even with the loss of its leadership, the Empire’s Moffs and regional governors retained their hold on important systems from the Core to the Outer Rim, thanks to the might of the Imperial Starfleet. Now, with a power vacuum atop the Empire, those Moffs will jockey for position and control, and the heroes of the Rebel Alliance will soon discover that a wounded and fractious Empire may be more dangerous than any threat they faced before!”
The four-issue comic series is due to hit shelves in September.
