The Star Wars: Purge is a series of one-shot comics featuring Darth Vader as he brings death to the remaining Jedi who survived the brunt of Order 66. His legend grows as he roots out Jedi, crushing their lives, their hopes, and all memory of their kind from the civilizations that now bow to the Galactic Empire.

And now, Dark Horse Comics presents a thrilling entry into the Purge series: “Star Wars: Purge – The Hidden Blade”. “Order 66” triggered the era of the Empire. As the Republic secured a victory over the Separatists, Jedi on every battlefield of the Clone Wars were attacked by their own troops. Few escaped the purge. On the lush and thickly forested planet of Otavon XII the Empire has built a base dedicated to the construction of AT-AT walkers. The native Otavi are few, but they still fight to remove the Imperial presence from their homeworld. Attacks by the Otavi have grown enough to disrupt work; now, Emperor Palpatine has sent Darth Vader to keep the workers moving. But Vader sense more than angry natives may lie at the heart of the Empire’s troubles on this world…
