Empire Magazine just dropped their latest Star Wars covers celebrating 25 years of Star Wars Prequels. Click here for the full story. These are on sale on Thursday 15 February.

The light side takes to the first cover – Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, Mace Windu, Qui-Gon Jinn, and, of course, Yoda.

The dark side hits the second cover – Sith Lord Anakin, Palpatine, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, General Grievous, and Jango Fett.

The subscriber cover is an epic creation by Bill McConkey delving into the joyous toybox of the prequels, packed with individual illustrations of its greatest heroes and most dastardly villains.
