The Empire has risen, and the Jedi Order has been destroyed. As far as the Emperor is concerned, the Jedi are all but extinct. However, on the remote planet of Tatooine, one Jedi Master remains: Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Devastated by the loss of his fellow Jedi --- and the betrayal of his former apprentice Anakin --- Obi-Wan has been left with one final task: to watch over and protect a young child named Luke. When Obi-Wan learns that a former Jedi apprentice has survived, he must make a painful decision. Should he stay on Tatooine or go on one last, desperate mission --- right into the heart of the Empire?
Fans of previous Star Wars titles will be chomping at the bit to read THE DESPERATE MISSION, the first book in "The Last of the Jedi" series.
