Star Wars #6

The sixth and final chapter of "Prelude to Rebellion" arrives with a striking Ken Kelly cover that sets the tension beautifully — an aged, cone-headed alien Jedi raises his lightsaber with fierce determination while a menacing battle droid looms at his back, both figures framed against a stormy, electric sky. It's a compelling image that captures the weight of a story reaching its conclusion, pairing unlikely allies — or perhaps uneasy threats — in a single charged moment. With writing by Jan Strnad and interior art by John Nadeau, this 1999 Dark Horse finale is a satisfying capstone to one of the expanded universe's more personal Star Wars arcs.
