Publisher's summary
''Let the dark times begin! Marvel welcomes Star Wars to the Epic Collection program, with the first volume of a series focusing on the years that follow Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith! After the end of the Clone Wars, the Republic has fallen and Palpatine exerts his ruthless grip on his new Galactic Empire. Now, the few Jedi that remain must decide whether to hold true to their faith, or abandon it completely in the face of a brutal purge — one carried out by the new Dark Lord of the Sith. Rise, Darth Vader!''
