Marvel Comics' Star Wars #5 focuses in on Luke Skywalker's quest to learn the secrets of the Jedi and master the Force, and now Newsarama has an exclusive preview of interior pages from the issue drawn by Jesus Saiz, which you can view right here ahead of its August 5 release.

The current volume, which launched in January, is set in the years following Luke Skywalker's confrontation with Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back, in which he learned Darth Vader was not the man who killed his father Anakin Skywalker, but Anakin himself.
