Episode VIII : The Darkness Within
25th January 2009 |
| A few years have passed since Luke Skywalker triumphantly retook the old Jedi Temple on Coruscant for his new Order of Jedi Knights. Emperor Mas Amedda and his aide Sly Moore, revealed to be Sith Lords, fled the Imperial Palace, allowing the political leader of the Galactic Alliance Mon Mothma to take up official residence within the Senate Rotunda. |
| Whilst Leia Solo is visiting her mother's homeworld of Naboo, Luke Skywalker's Jedi Order comes under attack from the Imperial strategist, Admiral Vantos. Repelling the attack, the Jedi resolve to hunt down Vantos and arrest him, whilst the Galactic Alliance military plan an offensive against the stormtrooper cloning facilities on Kamino. |
| Meanwhile, unbeknown to our heroes, the Sith Lords are planning a new force to engulf the galaxy. Leia journeys to the Ilum moon in the Kyber system to undergo the ancient Jedi rite of divining her own sword crystal, and while her brother leads a band of Jedi to the mysterious world of Kettlebrae to apprehend Vantos, her husband, General Han Solo, infiltrates Kamino. |
| Battles ensue as Leia comes face to face with Darth Kayos, Luke duels with a traitor, and Lando leads a strike team against Tipoca City at the same time as Han is fleeing it ! |
| Lando tragically perishes, sacrificing his life to destroy the new evil revealed on Kamino, and twelve Jedi succumb to the Dark Side of the Force. Elsewhere, Luke and Alana confirm their love for each other, while Han nurses his wife back to health. The future of the New Alliance and the Galaxy looks grim. Although the endless waves of cloned Imperial troops have been stopped, a new and even more insidious force has risen in its place....... |
