Star Wars Tales Of The Jedi Dark Lords Of The Sith #4 Dark Horse Comics
Star Wars Tales Of The Jedi: Dark Lords Of The Sith Issue Four drops readers into a turning point in the Nomi Sunrider saga. Written by Tom Veitch and Kevin J. Anderson, with art by David Roach and a cover by Dave Dorman, this installment continues a bold arc that blends personal destiny with galaxy-spanning stakes.
Nomi Sunrider, a reluctant apprenticing Jedi, carries a power she’s reluctant to wield. Her deepest wish—to raise her daughter in a peaceful world—collides with the daunting reality of becoming a great Jedi Knight. As her latent Force abilities awaken, her mentor—the enigmatic Master Thon—is surprised by the strength and focus she discovers within herself. Across the pages, a deadly subplot unfolds: Bogga the Hutt, the crimelord behind her husband’s death, schemes to steal Nomi’s Adegan Crystals—the precious gems used to craft lightsabers and the final gift of her departed mate.
