END OF ANOTHER SITH?
The
Empire's most valuable secrets is about to be compromised unless Vader can get
to it in time in the all-action conclusion to
"The Ahakista Gambit". Inside an Imperial stronghold, a team of spies led by
Wyl Tarson fight for their lives. For Tarson, this is the moment of truth, will
he betray those who trusted him with everything? One thing is certain, once
Vader arrives, few will be left alive.
Much
has been told about the legacy of the Skywalker family, but until now little has
been said of the legacy of Obi-Wan Kenobi! If you think you know the whole
story, prepare yourself for a shock. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan
fought a lonely battle--the outcome of which rocks the future of the Star Wars
galaxy! Another layer of the Legacy mystery is revealed in
Legacy Issue #16.
