After the end of the Clone Wars, the Republic has fallen and Palpatine exerts his ruthless grip on his new Galactic empire. Now, the few Jedi that remain must decide whether to hold true to their faith or abandon it completely in the face of a brutal purge -- one carried out by the new Dark Lord of the Sith, Rise, Darth Vader. But as the Empire strengthens its grip in the wake of the events of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, the remaining Jedi are marked for death. -- Adapted from the summaries.
