Star Wars (comic series)

With Soule's new Star Wars series on the horizon, I figured that I may as well make a discussion thread for it...

-In the wake of the events following The Empire Strikes Back, it is a dark time for the heroes of the Rebellion.

-The Rebel fleet...scattered following a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Hoth.

-Han Solo...lost to the bounty hunter, Boba Fett, after being frozen in carbonite.

-And after being lured into a trap on Cloud City and bested in a vicious lightsaber duel against the evil Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker...learned the horrible truth about his past. Vader did not kill Luke's father Anakin -- Vader is Luke's father!

-Now, after narrowly escaping the dark lord's clutches, and wounded and reeling from the revelation, Luke, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, the Wookiee Chewbacca and the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 must fight their way back to the Rebel Alliance--for the fate of the entire galaxy is at stake! After so many losses is victory still possible?

-But, what Leia, Luke and their ragtag band of freedom fighters do not realize is that they have only traded one Imperial trap for another! Enter the cunning and vengeful Imperial Commander Zahra, at the helm of the Tarkin's Will!

*Starts January 1st, 2020.

Preview of issue #1...

Interior art look great. 👆

Looking forward to this.😄

Hmm... Not sure about this only because I loved Shadows of the Empire comic book.

Same.

I'm only optimistic because Soule is heading this up... His SW works haven't disappointed me yet.

Issue #1 (1/2):

Issue #1 (2/2):

Nice issue

yeah this was great.

Luke's loss to Vader (and the "I am your father" revelation) cut him DEEP. It will be cool to see those long term effects explored further.

Hopefully the comics will redeem canon Luke

Nice feat him taking out a dozen tie fighters with the Force like that.

And yet TLJ Luke finds the idea of him taking on the First Order with the force and his lightsaber laughable 😕

TLJ is the worst movie of the saga by a large margin

Interesting...

So there was some random Jedi conveniently hanging around on Cloud City during the time of ESB. And, instead of helping Luke fight Vader, he was just hiding around to catch the lightsaber. Wow!

.....Yeeeaahhh....that's even worse than just being around in the galaxy during the GCW and not doing anything.

It's just strange, because by RotJ, Luke doesn't have Anakin's saber any longer... So making a special trip back to Cloud City to collect it seems useless.

I hope it's Vos. 😄

Hopefully there's more to it than that... Or if the Jedi WAS there the entire time, hopefully they had a good reason for not intervening.

I can't imagine there would be any reason whatsoever to not help a fellow Jedi duel a Sith Lord..

Maybe it was part of his training at that point?? Goes back to Kenobi saying "if you choose to face Vader you will do it alone".

So maybe Yoda or Kenobi specifically told this unknown Jedi not to interfere?
