Marvel Comics proudly presents Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – The Rebellion, The Kill Shot. A one-shot canon comic in the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi series. MON MOTHMA MUST DIE! ADMIRAL ACKBAR is the only one with the knowledge of THE EMPIRE’s plans to kill Mon Mothma. Enter POE DAMERON’s parents, SHARA BEY and KES DAMERON, to thwart the threat! But do they have what it takes to take down the unknown assassin in time?

Now… a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – The Rebellion, The Kill Shot, On the eve of what could very well prove to be a turning point in the brutal conflict between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, a lone assassin prepares to undercut the Rebels with one pull of a trigger. But the Alliance comes prepared, as ADMIRAL ACKBAR receives an urgent message from the Rebel spy network warning him of an attempt on the life of Rebel leader MON MOTHMA. Unable to refuse vital information, MOTHMA pushes forward with the meeting – forcing ACBKAR to enlist two of his most trusted allies to uncover the mystery of her would-be-assassin before it’s too late…

Story/Spoilers:
“The Kill Shot”, Based on the events that take place just days before the Battle of Endor as the Empire tries to assassinate Mon Mothma. A mysterious Arconan bounty hunter, later revealed to be named Lan-Drus, muses to herself as she scopes in on Mon Mothma, our legendary Rebel Alliance leader. Admiral Ackbar is informed that Mon Mothma’s life is at risk, during a crucial stage of the fight with the Empire. Mon Mothma proves once again why she was the one to guide the Rebellion to victory as she insists on obtaining top secret intel regardless of the danger it put her in, and refused to have protection, arguing that the Alliance’s resources could be better spent on fighting the Empire. Ackbar calls upon the duo, Kes Dameron and Shara Bey – the parents of Poe Dameron, to discretely discover the identity of the assassin sent to kill Mon Mothma. In the course of Kes and Shara’s investigations, they run into Alfris Sotin from the criminal underworld. Mon Mothma travels to the snowy planet of Desinta to meet the anonymous informant, who reveals himself to be Tomasso, a high ranking member of the Spice Runners and an old friend of Mon Mothma’s. There, Lan-Drus attempts to snipe Mon Mothma, who is saved by Tomasso in a very selfless act of bravery as he takes the blast for her. Kes and Shara manage to prevent a second shot from Lan-Drus, and are rescued by Mon Mothma, who reveals the critical information she has learned from Tomasso. Mon Mothma once again credits the Bothan spies who learned of the construction of the second Death Star, but it is revealed that the Emperor and many other high ranking Imperials are currently stationed there, ready for the Rebellion to deal its mortal blow.
