The comic adaptation of the darkest chapter in George Lucas' original trilogy is remastered for the modern age!

Meanwhile, feelings run high in the galaxy's greatest love triangle, bounty hunters target Han Solo, and Jabba the Hutt lies in wait. Luke seeks out the great Jedi Master Yoda on swampy Dagobah, but the Emperor has designs on turning the young Rebel hero. As the battle begins for Skywalker's soul, will his fear lead to anger, hate and the dark side? It's all heading to one of the greatest confrontations of all time.
