Star Wars: Dark Empire Trilogy

By Tom Veith and Cam Kennedy

Three graphic novels in one. This chronicles the events ten years after the Return of the Jedi. Spoiler alert... the Emperor is not dead.
My son brought this book back from his mother's last week, having read it and told me. "Even though it's no longer canon, Dad, it's still a great story."
I don't often get into graphic novels, but this one I really enjoyed.... But then, I am a huge Star Wars fan.

Synopsis

Ten years after the fall of Darth Vader and the Emperor in Return of the Jedi, a new Republic has been formed, but the galaxy is not yet free. The Empire has been mysteriously reborn under an unknown leader wielding a new weapon of great power. Princess Leia and Han Solo struggle to hold together and defend the New Republic while the galaxy's saviour, Luke Skywalker, fights an inner battle as he is drawn to the dark side, just as his father was.
