The first
issue of the new Star Wars series
takes place following the events of Episode IV A New Hope. Han Solo arrives on
an Imperial weapons factory pretending to represent Jabba the Hutt to negotiate
trade agreements however it was just a ruse to destroy the main power core. Luke
rescues slaves trapped within the factory as the negotiator Darth Vader
arrives. Leia orders Chewbacca to take a shot at Vader and fails alerting the
factory. The finale of the first issue sees Luke and Vader face off. Writer
Jason Aaron wrote a great first issue kicking off the next Star Wars era of
comics.
