We have new information about one of the pivotal moments in Star Wars history and we’re sharing it below.
The saga of Star Wars It never stops surprising us. Just when we thought we knew everything about the epic story that concluded with Return of the Jedia new comic trilogy arrives that immerses us in the events after the legendary Battle of Endor. But what really happens after the fall of the Empire and the death of Emperor Palpatine? What mysteries does the galaxy hide after the defeat of Darth Vader? We tell you everything you need to know!
When Return of the Jedi hit theaters in 1983, the ending seemed clear: the Empire had fallen, the second Death Star was destroyed, and the heroes of the Rebellion were celebrating on the moon of Endor with the friendly Ewoks. Happy end? Well… almost. Despite the defeat of the Imperial forces, the Star Wars galaxy was not immediately left at peace.
The new comic trilogy, The Battle of Jakku, reveals that the scars of war don’t heal so quickly.
The Empire still has a presence in various corners of the galaxy and is not willing to give up without a fight to the end. The last battle, which will shape the galaxy and connect with what we will see in The Force Awakens, is fought on Jakku, a desert planet that hides more than it seems.
Leia, Han and Luke: The heroes face new challenges.
After the victory on Endor, our favorite Star Wars heroes face a world full of unknowns. Leia, for example, says goodbye to Han Solo, who must lead the rebels to eliminate the last vestiges of the Empire. But before continuing, Leia has a very personal mission: visit the funeral pyre of her father, Anakin Skywalker (or as we knew him for years, Darth Vader).
This scene is powerful and emotional. Leia isn’t sure how to feel about the remains of her father, the man who caused so much destruction, but also found ultimate redemption. With sadness and suppressed anger, Leia admits that, unlike her brother Luke, forgiveness does not come so easily to her. This is a more human, closer Leia, who continues to deal with the shadows of her past as the galaxy prepares for new conflicts.
The return of old enemies: The Empire resists.
Despite the deaths of the Emperor and Darth Vader, the remnants of the Empire are still a threat. In the Star Wars Battle of Jakku saga, we meet new villains, such as Grand Moff Adelhard, who refuses to accept defeat. This ruthless and calculating villain is determined to maintain control in the Anoat Sector and crush any resistance.
With the help of the mysterious Sith cleric, Yupe Tashu, the Empire seeks to unite again. Yupe has a dark plan to restore balance to the galaxy, using any means necessary, including the resurgence of former followers of the Dark Side. And if that were not enough, we are also introduced to Reyna Oskure, a powerful Anzati who could become a dangerous ally for the imperial remnants.
A new awakening in the Force?
Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker, now the last Jedi, senses that something is wrong. He senses his sister Leia’s internal conflict and reminds her of Yoda’s teachings: “Anger leads to darkness.” Although he offers to train her in the ways of the Force, Leia remains hesitant. But there is no time for debate, as a new danger looms.
In a key scene, a Rebel pilot named Rynn Zenat crash-lands on Endor and brings bad news: the Empire is not over. Grand Moff Adelhard is determined to keep the war alive and will do anything to return the Empire to its former glory. The fight for freedom is not over, and the battle on Jakku will be decisive!
