Star Wars and Vader cross over, the band of happy-go-lucky freewheeling adventuring pals clash with the unstoppable monstrosity and his cunning sidekick and her murder machines. Vader blunders into a few squadrons of rebel fighters, including Luke, resulting with Vader and Luke crash landed on a planet with Vader hunting Luke and the entire rebel army hunting Vader. Narratively, the story is obliged to avoid a proper full-on confrontation, since none of the main characters can die and it's way too early in the trilogy for a proper showdown, so a lot of the story is devoted to an entertaining series of tussles between Han and Co versus Dr Aphra and Co while Vader slaughters the rebel army, then a supporting villain from the Vader title shows up to keep the chaos gong. It is acknowledged that the Leia's the one with real grudge against Vader, between the destruction of Alderaan and her tactical role as a Rebel leader, while Vader's just shrugging it all off to get at Luke.

Wow. The Star Wars universe is embedded in my consciousness more deeply than I supposed to find myself so pleased at a well-executed comic. More fun than the films, to be honest.
