Star Wars: Empire #6

Princess Leia takes center stage on this 2003 Dark Horse cover — blaster in hand, crouched in combat-ready tension amid jungle undergrowth, with red lightsaber beams slashing the air around her and a stormtrooper helmet resting ominously in the dirt at her feet. The tagline "Surrender or Die!" and the header warning that "the fate of the Rebellion rests on Leia's decision" make it clear she's facing an impossible moment, brought vividly to life through Brian Ching's pencils and Matt Banning's inks. The second and final chapter of "Princess... Warrior" promises a Leia story with real stakes, written by Randy Stradley with interior art by Davide Fabbri and Christian Dalla Vecchia.
