Star Wars: Purge
Darth Vader against a gathering of surviving Jedi, months after Order 66, drawn as a slaughter rather than a duel.
A single thirty-two-page one-shot by John Ostrander and Doug Wheatley with an Adam Hughes cover, released 28 December 2005. Three later one-shots — Seconds to Die, The Hidden Blade and The Tyrant’s Fist — continued the Purge banner. Dates in the issue table are documented release dates — Dark Horse printed no cover date on these comics.
