Darth Vader: Shadow and Secrets
by Gillen, Larroca, Granov
The Emperor's machinations revealed! *Everything changes for Vader! The tale of Vader's transformation from A New Hope to The Empire Strikes Back continues!
Opening Crawl: Disorder engulfs the galaxy. After the destruction of the Death Star by a mysterious Force-strong rebel pilot, the Sith Lord Darth Vader was deemed responsible by his master, Emperor Palpatine. Now pursuing his own agenda - the pilot's identity - Vader recruited bounty hunter Boba Fett and archaeologist Doctor Aphra. Pitted by the Emperor against a new array of rivals for his position in the Empire, Vader's rage at being doubted was compounded by an even more shocking revelation—the rebel pilot he sought was actually the son he never knew he'd had.

Kanan: The Last Padawan
by Weisman, Larraz, Brooks
Kanan Jarrus—in Star Wars Rebels, he's a cocky, sarcastic renegade fighting against the Galactic Empire alongside the rag-tag crew of the Ghost…but years before, at the height of the Clone Wars, he was known as Caleb Dume, Jedi Padawan under the instruction of Jedi Master Depa Billaba. Neither master nor apprentice ever suspected that the Clone Troopers they commanded would turn on them upon the issuing of Order 66—the order to execute all Jedi. How did Caleb Dume survive? How did he learn to survive on his own? And how did he become the man we know as Kanan Jarrus? Writer Greg Weisman (writer/executive producer on Star Wars Rebels) and artist Pepe Larraz (deadpool vs X-force, thor) bring us a tale bridging the years between the Clone Wars and Rebels!
Opening Crawl:It is a dark time for the galaxy. It's been years since the fall of the Republic, when Chancellor Palpatine gave order 66, wiping out the peace-keeping Jedi orderand rising to the role of Emperor. Since then, the Emperor and his Imperial forces have ruled the galaxy with an iron fist. The people have lived under the yoke of Imperial oppression and the sparks of rebellion have begun in secret. Small clusters of rebels have begun fighting for freedom. One such rebel band is home to Kanan Jarrus, a mysterious former Jedi who has spent years hiding his Force powers and lightsaber. Not even his companions know his true past, that he was once a young Jedi Padawan named Caleb Dume, fighting in the Clone Wars under his master, Depa Billaba....
