A not-quite-as-long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
Over 100 years after the events of The Return Of The Jedi, a new threat looms over the galaxy. The Sith-lord Darth Krayt has broken the rule of two (which states there can only be a pair of Sith at a time) and has amassed an impressive and deadly team of lightsaber-wielding ne’er-do-wells and seized control of the remnants of the Empire.
The only ones standing in the way of another bleak Sith-ruled era of history is the former Emperor Roan Fel, who escaped Krayt’s coup attempt and is hiding out on a remote planet and gathering allies, the last few Jedi and three bounty hunters, including one with a rather infamous last name: Skywalker.
As the Sith seek to eliminate Fel (and turn Cade Skywalker to the dark side, if possible), Cade’s former master tries to locate him and turn him back to the forces of good. Meanwhile, a face from the past appears to help remind Cade of the legacy he has to live up to.
This familiar, yet different, take on the Star Wars universe is quite engrossing and getting to see where things have gone in the years since Episode VI is too good to miss.
