“For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire.”
—Ben Kenobi

The dark times are here. Even as the worlds of the former Republic are drawn into the iron grip of Palpatine’s Empire, the galaxy seems adrift in a sea of chaos, lawlessness, and despair.

On Coruscant, Darth Vader waits for his Master to reveal his vision for the future. But is there a plan beyond obtaining power? On New Plympto, Jedi Master Dass Jennir leads a Nosaurian army in a war they have already lost. Is this what it now means to be a Jedi?

Dark Times #1 is the gateway to a new era in Star Wars history, an era where the future is grim, evil is on the rise, and all paths seem to lead nowhere . . .

• Moving into the new, unexplored territory of the time period immediately following Revenge of the Sith.

• References the events in the Del Rey novel Dark Lord.

KOTOBUKIYA PRINCESS LEIA SOFT VINYL MODEL KIT
On sale Nov. 15 10" tall, with six easy-to-assemble pieces $99.99

Dark Horse continues its exciting import program of the award-winning large vinyl Star Wars figures. Consisting of six easy-to-assemble pieces, Princess Leia is 10 inches tall.

One of the most alluring female character costumes ever, Princess Leia’s slave outfit made an impression on millions of people when she appeared on the screen in Return of the Jedi in 1983. Owing its popularity among teenage boys to a combination of carefully placed metal and fabric, Leia’s new look proved to be an overwhelming favorite.

Not to be outdone by other sex symbols, Leia did not sit idly by Jabba’s side as her friends were threatened, rather, she strangled her captor with her own slave chains. Our heroine is celebrated in this stunning, realistically rendered vinyl model kit. Three cheers for Leia!
