Star Wars: The Marvel UK Collection Omnibus #[nn]
In "The Kingdom of Ice! [Part 1]," Luke and Leia confront a mysterious, deadly entity on the frozen world of Alashan, where the line between machine and menace blurs. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art, this pivotal chapter unfolds with tension and discovery as the heroes unravel the creature’s artificial nature—its control tied to hidden consoles and its vulnerability to the Force. Howard Bender’s vibrant colors and Tom Palmer’s sharp cover inks complete a striking visual experience, making this a standout entry in the Star Wars: The Marvel UK Collection Omnibus.

The creature reappears and kills Lopaki. Leia realizes the creature is artificial and controlled by the consoles in the control centre so begins destroying them while Luke finds the creature is made of energy and very susceptible to his lightsaber. The creature is destroyed and they leave Alashan on the Staraker with Grau and his surviving lieutenant Anarine. They ask Grau to join the Rebellion but Grau and Anarine leave the Staraker in an escape pod out of loyalty to the Empire.
