Empire 10: The Short, Happy Life of Roons Sewell, Part 1 is the tenth issue in the Star Wars: Empire series of comics. It was published on July 23, 2003 by Dark Horse Comics.

Publisher's summary

General Dodonna was one of the Old Republic's most brilliant strategists. Now he must use all of his knowledge and all of his tricks to outwit the commanders of the Imperial fleet--many of whom were trained with his own tactics!

To give the fledgling Rebel Alliance time to consolidate its forces, Dodonna chooses as a base an ancient, deserted temple on a moon orbiting a gaseous planet. But setting up Yavin Base is complicated by the need to raid Imperial convoys, internal squabbles among the Rebel leaders, and by the monstrous creatures who have also laid claim to the temple!

This two-issue story reveals little-known secrets about the early Rebellion.

Behind the scenes

The title is a reference to Ernest Hemingway's short story The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber.

Notes and references

  1. ↑ Star Wars: Empire (2002) #10 on Marvel Comics' official website (backup link)
  2. ↑ Soontir Fel's entry in The New Essential Guide to Characters places this event two years after the Battle of Nar Shaddaa; though later sources moved the battle to 4 BBY, sources such as The New Essential Chronology released around the same time as Characters placed the battle in 3 BBY, thus lining up with Empire 8's dating of the mutiny to shortly before the Battle of Yavin.
