Fresh from the killing fields of Jabiim, where the Empire has virtually wiped out the populace of that world, Imperial Lieutenant Janek Sunber is sent to the quiet prison base on Kalist VI. But, unbeknownst to the Empire, the Rebels have designs on Kalist Base both for its desirable fuel supplies and for the presence of a very important prisoner - one of their own who has already attracted the interest of Darth Vader. Sunber doesn't know it, but he's on a collision course with an old friend who is with the Rebels, and he finds himself wondering which of them is on the wrong side of the war.

5.0 out of 5 stars The finale of the Empire Series
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2013

It is crazy to think these series span years. This concludes the Empire series which continued after the Republic series. Stories featured in the Republic are show cased in the Empire series. I enjoy the stories and it was sad to see this series come to an end. The characters can be followed on Rebellion which continues the story arc of empire for another 4 volumes. Lt. Suntber is a great example of people who know they are on the wrong side but feel justified because of having the law on their side. Great story, must have for serious star wars fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars get the Zulu treatment
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2010
And it works! Sunber is one of my all time favorite male characters and this story which is drawing heavily upon the premise taken from the film 'Zulu' of a military unit surrounded and outnumbered is thrilling to read! indeed, I have reread it many times and the tension that exists between Sunber and his fellow officers is well paced and thought out...in fact, its pretty real and a very human story. I cannot recommend this highly enough, great art, great writing and a must have for any fan of graphic novels.

4.0 out of 5 stars The continuing moral quandries of Lt. Janek Sunbar
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2007
Verified Purchase
The seventh graphic novel collection of the Star Wars Empire comic series contains issues 35-40 and is titled The Wrong Side of the War. Like the sixth volume, this book starts off with a standalone issue. It tells the tale of Vader and a leading officer practicing a little deception on their own crew to root out a Rebel dissident within their ranks. Vader has the upper hand throughout and the ending has quite a wicked little twist. It's well-drawn and quite entertaining for such a short story.

The rest of the book focuses on one multi-issue arc. Conflicted Imperial officer Janek Sunbar is back and as confused as ever. He wants to honorably serve the Empire and have a fulfilling military career, but he is finding it harder and harder to turn a blind eye to the Empire's flaws. I thoroughly enjoyed Sunbar's earlier exploits trying to rally his troops against an invading force of Amamin on Maridun (the Amanaman design from Return of the Jedi is one of my very favorites in the saga, so I was predisposed to like that story anyway). The Wrong Side of the War adds a new twist to Sunbar's character, making him all the more interesting and tying him in with the more familiar movie characters.

The Rebels are sending a strike team to Kalist VI to infiltrate the Imperial facility and rescue Jorin Sol, who was captured in the prior arc set on Jabiim. As a side benefit, they also plan on stealing significant quantities of fuel from the Imps. The team, which includes Luke and R2-D2 along with an array of less familiar faces, is experiencing a smooth mission until the discovery of a large number of slaves complicates their planning. Ethically the Rebels can't leave the slaves behind, so their plans have a rapid adjustment and we sail into a terrifically exciting climax.

The additions to Sunbar's character are the most interesting part of this book. He is starting to see what he has refused to acknowledge for so long: the Empire he strives to serve is corrupt and unworthy of his devotion. Stories such as his add depth to the often faceless Imperial minions and present a more realistic view of what serving under Palpatine's tyrannical reign might really be like.

The Wrong Side of the War concludes the Empire series. However, a new series, Rebellion, has started up, and the first volume of that features Sunbar on the cover. It seems the story of Jorin Sol has more to come as well. This set of issues was a great read and I look forward to seeing where we go from here.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this entire series

I am a huge fan of the entire Star Wars Empire series, especially the stories that are told from the POV of the empire. Get this book and get the rest of the series as well. The vast majority of the stories are great, the art is good and it is a great contribution to the star wars fabric.
