Star Wars Tales #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the first six issues of the anthology series Star Wars Tales, offering a mix of short stories set across various eras of the Star Wars universe. Featuring tales that span from the prequel trilogy to the original trilogy, it includes appearances by iconic characters such as Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Han Solo, and Qui-Gon Jinn, often with a lighter or more experimental tone than the main continuity. Published by Dark Horse in 2002, this volume showcases the work of multiple creative teams exploring both familiar and obscure corners of the galaxy far, far away.
"Extinction" kicks off Star Wars Tales #1 with a pulse-pounding encounter between Big Gizz and Spiker in the scorched ruins of Tatooine’s Podracing arena. When they stumble upon a malfunctioning dark trooper whose weapons remain fully active, the two must fight for survival in a place where the past is as deadly as the present. Written and drawn by Kilian Plunkett, with colors by Dave Nestelle and letters by Vickie Williams, the issue’s cover by Tsuneo Sanda captures the tension in stark, shadowed detail.
In the scorched ruins of Tatooine’s forgotten Podracing arena, Big Gizz and Spiker stumble upon a malfunctioning dark trooper—its systems glitching, but its weapons still deadly. As sand swirls and echoes of past races fade, the two must survive a relentless, broken machine with a mind of its own.
