In the wake of the Death Star's destruction, the Empire seems to anticipate and thwart all moves by the struggling Rebel Alliance - which smells like a spy among the ranks. Princess Leia forms a stealth squadron of her best pilots - including Luke Skywalker - to expose the spy and find the Alliance a safe home. In another part of the galaxy, Han Solo and Chewbacca are on their own mission for the Rebels, but that, too, has been betrayed to the Empire. And, over all, Darth Vader watches... Writer Brian Wood (The Massive, Channel Zero, DMZ, Conan the Barbarian) and artist Carlos D'Anda (Batman: Arkham City) bring you Star Wars adventure for today - and the ages! Collects Star Wars #1–#6 and Free Comic Book Day 2013.
