Publisher's summary
''Palpatine's Order 66 has changed everything. As Jedi are slaughtered across the galaxy, one has managed to cheat fate&mdash;but for how long? Badly wounded by the same troops he previously led to victory, Master Quinlan Vos retreats into the jungle wilderness of the Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk. As the clones close in, Vos must choose&mdash;stay and fight, or run and put those he loves in danger of the newborn Empire's wrath?''

Behind the scenes
According to Randy Stradley, the fate of Quinlan Vos at the end of the comic came directly from George Lucas. John Ostrander had initially considered killing Vos off, and an interview with Jan Duursema in Star Wars Insider before the issue's release claimed that he died.

At the end of this issue, the necklace a Wookiee is dangling above a young Korto Vos was based upon a necklace Doug Wangler, the model for Quinlan Vos, wears in real life.
