Plot: Anakin, Master Hett and Hett’s apprentice Bhat are stranded on the planet Aargonar after they were shot down en route to the command centre. Bhat dies of injuries sustained escaping the wreckage and Anakin snaps at Hett because of his hatred for sand people. Hett finds them shelter and they are forced to leave Bhat behind. Master Mundi makes sure the base is sustained thinking the others dead. Anakin and Hett find a cave but are attacked by a Sarlacc which itself comes under attack by a Gouka Dragon! Hett keeps talking about his people which angers Anakin as they killed his mother. They find confederacy forces and try to steal a dead transport and Hett sacrifices his weapon to get Anakin to start it up. They are attacked by hostiles and thinking of Sandman, Anakin, enraged brutally attacks them and his rage spreads to Hett who manages to hold his own and realises the only way to make Anakin trust him is to remove his sand person helmet and reveal he is a human born! They make their way back to allied forces and Anakin manages to make the dragon attack the Confederacy forces and wins them the battle. In the aftermath Anakin is forced to learn to control his rage. Elsewhere, Obi-Wan is revealed to be alive and a prisoner of Ventress!
Buy Pile Rating: Trade (2)
Story: A good concept but an unusually dull issue, i dont think Anakin could hold this title alone and good to have Obi-Wan back.
Art: Great.
