Original generated cover art — not a reproduction of any published cover
Four issues, four new characters, each narrating an encounter with Han, Leia, Luke or Chewbacca — and each finding the legend hard to work with.
Four issues from April to July 2014, written by Matt Kindt with art by Marco Castiello and covers by Adam Hughes. One of the last Star Wars miniseries Dark Horse published.
