As they race to dismantle its power source, Luke discovers the creature’s energy-based nature—and that its destruction lies in a single, precise strike.
In "Blind Fury!" from Star Wars Omnibus: Wild Space #1, Jo stumbles upon an ancient enemy of the Jedi—Rur, a shaman whose consciousness now exists as a vengeful program. When Rur sets a trap for Luke, the truth emerges: the Jedi are gone, and the program’s purpose collapses with them.

In "Havoc on Hoth," Luke and Han make a desperate return to Yavin—only to find it overrun by the Empire. Forced to flee, they stumble upon the Rebellion’s new refuge on Hoth, where Han crosses paths with Salmakk, a rogue smuggler with a personal interest in the bounty on his head.
Han and Chewbacca set off to Yavin IV in search of a long-lost treasure, hoping a lucky find can finally settle their debt to Jabba the Hutt. With the jungle-shrouded moon offering secrets and danger in equal measure, their mission tests their wits and loyalty—before the prize even comes into view.
