Les Ombres de l'Empire 2 - Évolution

Xizor, the leader of the Black Sun organization, has been destroyed, and Guri, a Human replica droid and Xizor's personal assassin, is left wondering what her future will hold now that she no longer has anyone to answer to. Throughout the ongoing struggle for underworld supremacy, Guri endeavors to uncover hints of her Human side - if it even exists. Her search first takes her to the far side of the Rim looking for droid programming genius Massad Thrumble, in the hope that he can alter her programming.

Human replica droid Guri continues her quest to discover just how Human she really is. She braves the dangers of the tropical planet Murninkam looking for the surgical droid known as Doc, who has been abducted by Spinda Caveel, a brilliant but more-than-slightly mad scientist, and his deadly cohorts, the Pikkel Sisters. Meanwhile, bounty hunter Kar Yang is hot on the trail of Guri at the request of the shadowy Azool, who wants Guri for reasons that will finally become clear in this issue. A comic-book sequel to the best-selling Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, written by Shadows novelist Steve Perry.

Human replica droid Guri has located the only one potentially capable of altering her assassin-driven programming, the surgical droid known as Doc. But now she's being pursued by a bounty hunter, Kar Yang. Savan, working in disguise as a Human female, is trying to secure her hold on the Black Sun organization -- and realizes that Guri is the key. Luke, Han, and Leia, who are meeting with Savan on Coruscant in order to work out a peaceful end to the tumultuous turnover in Black Sun, have no idea who she really is, though.

Now that Guri has found Doc, and the de-droiding procedure has been started, the search is on for Guri. Will Spinda Caveel, the Pikkel Sisters, Savan, or Han, Luke, and Leia be the first to find Guri and Doc? Will Doc be able to finish the Humanizing procedure on Guri before they are found? Just as we think things are going well, Luke gets a "feeling," and Leia discovers the truth behind Savan.

Guri, the most wanted droid in the galaxy awakens from surgery. Doc and Thrumble stand by to see if the surgery successfully removed the bad memories of Black Sun. Meanwhile, our gang is on the way to collect Guri and bring her to trial. What they don't know is that Savan and her thugs are there to capture Guri for themselves.

Alors que la princesse Leia met tout en 'uvre pour arracher le corps de Han Solo aux mains de Boba Fett, le seigneur Dark Vador sonde la galaxie à la recherche du jeune Skywalker. Au cours de sa quête, il s'oppose aux intérêts du puissant prince Xizor, leader charismatique de la plus grande organisation criminelle de l'univers : le Soleil noir.

Darth Vader has a covert agent to take care of his dirty work: Jix. Vader dispatches Jix to take care of an Imperial governor who has defected to the Rebel Alliance. But Jix finds a different, more important traitor, and winds up in a one-man war against a legion of stormtroopers. This one-shot collects the hit serial from Topps' Star Wars Galaxy magazine.

Xizor, the leader of the Black Sun criminal organization, has been destroyed, and Guri, a beautiful Human replica droid and Xizor's personal assassin, is left wondering what her future will hold now that she no longer has anyone to answer to. Throughout the ongoing struggle for underworld supremacy, Guri endeavors to uncover hints of her Human side - if it even exists. But in her quest to alter her programming and gain Humanity, Guri becomes the quarry of both bounty hunters and Rebels (led by a Jedi-to-be named Luke). What secrets lie buried in her android mind that make her such valuable prey? Evolution is the sequel to the best-selling novel Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire and is the first foray into comics by best-selling Shadows novelist Steve Perry.

Darth Vader wants Luke Skywalker-alive. Prince Xizor, the largest trader in the galaxy, wants Skywalker dead. And Skywalker, along with Leia, Chewbacca, and the droids, have a goal of their own: rescue Han Solo. But Solo has been encased in carbonite and taken by the most notorious mercenary in the galaxy, Boba Fett, who intends to deliver him to Jabba the Hutt. It's a clash of good against evil, of right against wrong, and it comes to a head in the Shadows of the Empire... Featuring all your favorite characters from the Star Wars motion picture trilogy and a score of new ones, Shadows of the Empire is everything a Star Wars fan could hope for.

While a grim Luke Skywalker reels from Darth Vader's revelation on the cloud city of Bespin, the tattered remnants of the Rebel fleet desperately seek sanctuary and time to muster new allies. Their forces are weak, and that has not escaped the notice of Emperor Palpatine-ultimate victory lies within his grasp. All it will take is another blow to crush this Rebel Alliance, one more straw to break their backs. A blow, Palpatine reasons, that could be struck by the vast, criminal underworld that lurks within the Shadows of the Empire...

Prince Xizor controls the largest merchant fleet in the galaxy-that makes him a valuable asset to the Empire and to the Emperor. And that makes him Darth Vader's hated enemy. As Luke, Leia, and Chewbacca head to Tatooine to rescue Han Solo, they get caught in the crossfire of the galaxy's deadliest rivalry... in the Shadows of the Empire.

They outnumber him and outgun him. By all rights, Luke Skywalker should be one dead Jedi-in-training, the target of a surprise attack by Jabba's swoop gang. But he's not... and even he isn't certain of the reason!

What would it take for you to step into the den of a rancor? What treasure would tempt you to stare death in the face? Aboard Boba Fett's ship is a carbonite-encased Han Solo. Jabba's willing to pay plenty for Solo, making him a tempting treasure for every bounty hunter in the galaxy. But tempting enough to board the Slave I? Apparently, somebody thinks so!

The bounty on Skywalker's head is good cold or warm, dead or alive. A live bounty will always bring a bigger reward than a dead one, but when the target leaves you no choice you take what you can get.

Leia has been captured by Prince Xizor, underlord of the galaxy's most ruthless criminal organization, and Han Solo has been encased in carbonite by Darth Vader, a package Boba Fett intends to deliver to Jabba the Hutt. As the Rebels approach their most deperate hour, it appears as though their long battle may be at an end. But looks can be deceiving in the Shadows of the Empire!
