Star Wars canon Star Wars comic book series initially written by Jason Aaron with art by John Cassaday . The Marvel Comics series, which began publishing on January 14 , 2015 [17] Star Wars series , features the characters Luke Skywalker , Leia Organa , Han Solo , Chewbacca , C-3PO , and R2-D2 going on adventures set between the events of Star Wars : Episode IV A New Hope Star Wars : Episode V The Empire Strikes Back [1] issue 75 , which was released on November 20 , 2019 ,[18] another series of comics on January 1 , 2020 .[19]
Development [ ] Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso called up Jason Aaron to ask "Star Wars ?," to which Aaron replied, "I'm in." He stopped writing Amazing X-Men Star Wars into his schedule. Aaron and Cassaday agreed they wanted to write the comic by imagining what it had been like if they wrote the sequel to the original Star Wars . They toured Skywalker Ranch and visited the Archives for research while meeting with Lucasfilm over the comics.[1]
Aaron described the series as being a team book,[1] [20] bounty hunters .[1] [21] Ben Kenobi , because "I always loved that character in the original film and we never really see much of that version, the Alec Guinness version."[22]
Cassaday described drawing the galaxy's "junk-like" aesthetic as a "headache and an absolute pleasure all at the same time. Getting the details together has been time consuming and tedious, but once I got going, it's been great fun."[20]
Issue 6 was the last issue with art by Cassady, and each story arc afterward featured a different artist, including Stuart Immonen , Leinil Francis Yu , and Jorge Molina . With the 26th issue, Salvador Larroca became the main series artist and has drawn every issue since. As of issue 38 Kieron Gillen took over as writer, reuniting the creative team of Star Wars: Darth Vader Star Wars the same way he approached Darth Vader , with a focus on showing the characters' transformation from A New Hope to The Empire Strikes Back . His run began with The Ashes of Jedha Jedha in the aftermath of its destruction .[4]
