Lando joins forces with bounty hunters? Amidala in love? The Jedi Council against Yoda? Ewoks in underwear? Only in Star Wars Tales #5 will you find the truth behind these provocative headlines in five exciting, funny, and touching stories featuring our favorite characters from the Star Wars galaxy!

Lando Calrissian has seen his share of rogues, but none quite like the crew he has assembled to chase down a group of TIE Interceptor space pirates! Each member of Lando's team has a personal motive to partake in the mission, but it seems one of his crew has treason in mind! Young Amidala -- not yet a queen -- faces the biggest crisis of her young life -- love! Amidala must make a very difficult choice between first love and the political obligations she will face as Queen. The Jedi Council is faced with many decisions, but none as important as determining the fate of Yaddle, a being of the same species as Yoda. It's up to the Council to decide if the former Jedi-in-training is to be given the title of Jedi Knight, but Yoda doesn't think she is ready.

Ewoks! Tauntauns! Wampas! Also featured in Star Wars Tales #5 are two short stories, one hilarious, the other poignant, starring some of our favorite creatures in the Star Wars universe.

"If I can single out the one, defining moment that made me want to write science fiction and comic books especially, it was when I saw Star Wars," said Tales contributor Ian Edginton. " I'm contributing to the Star Wars saga, and I've got a grin so wide I look like Jabba. I'm writing Star Wars, and I'm a kid again."

Don't miss another jam- packed- with- fun issue of Star Wars Tales arriving in comic shops September 27, retailing for $4.95.
