Star Wars Shattered Empire

In 2016, Dark Dragon Books released Star Wars Shattered Empire, a two-issue miniseries bridging the gap between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Written by Greg Rucka and Tim Veekhoven with art by Marco Checchetto, this compact story focuses on the immediate aftermath of the Empire's fall, exploring the chaotic transition of power through the eyes of a Rebel pilot. It matters as an early piece of the new canon's "Journey to The Force Awakens" era, offering a direct narrative link between the original trilogy and the sequel films.
