Dark Horse is pleased to present another all-new Star Wars series for 2006! Set between the events of Episode IV A New Hope and Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, Rebellion explores the desperate struggle of Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire. Delivered in high-octane, widescreen style by writer Rob Williams (Cla$$war, SW Tales) and artist Brandon Badeaux (Superman: Man of Steel; SW Empire), Rebellion features shocking revelations about characters from Luke's past!
Seeking to exploit a fatal flaw in the Rebel fleet's escape strategies, the Empire plants a sleeper agent in the Alliance's midst and sets into motion a series of events that will have devastating consequences for Luke Skywalker and his companions. Meanwhile, Darth Vader's own agenda runs counter to the Empire's schemes and he's ensnared Luke's childhood friend Lt. Janek Sunber to carry out a secret mission that will lead the idealistic Imperial officer straight into the heart of the Rebellion.
"I like to think that, with Rebellion, we're really trying to bring out the spectacle in Star Wars comics," commented writer Rob Williams. "We're making this widescreen action. If it were a movie the budget would be huge. When you look back on what made you fall in love with the movies in the first place, it was big cinema-screen-sized images of starships, battles, and the whole ridiculous romance of the thing. That's Rebellion."
Star Wars: Rebellion features story by Rob Williams with art by Brandon Badeaux. Issue #1 arrives on sale April 12 with a retail price of $2.99.
