Darth Vader and Boba Fett: enemies and allies! The Empire rules the galaxy, but Vader schemes for even greater power — and strikes a deal with the deadly bounty hunter that will have unexpected consequences for them both! But Boba Fett is more than a means to an end: Whether becoming an enemy of the Empire, being framed for murder or dealing with sins of his past, every mission will be dealt with — on his own terms! Plus: Meet Starkiller, Vader’s secret apprentice! Young Leia Organa joins her father in the formation of a rebellion! And crimelord Jabba the Hutt deals with bartering, backstabbing, betrayal…and Han Solo!
