Star Wars: Crimson Empire

    (Dark Horse, 1997-1998)
™ and ©1997 Lucasfilm Ltd.

The empty throne of the once-mighty Empire is the goal of Carnor Jax, who seeks to position himself as the new Dark Lord, now that the last of Emperor Palpatine’s clones have been destroyed. But out in the galaxy, laying low on some backwater planet, is a former colleague, Kir Kanos, now an enemy of the Empire, who Jax knows is a threat to his ambition. Kir Kanos is depicted as the classic knight-errant, the valiant paladin with a shady past and the scars to prove it, struggling against enormous odds. He and Jax were once members of the elite Imperial Guard; the personal bodyguards of the emperor. But that was a long time ago and far, far away…

In addition to the impressive cover paintings by Dave Dorman, this six-issue mini-series features previously unknown events with Darth Vader, as Kir Kanos remembers his tortured past.
