The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation 1 was to have been the first issue of the comic series Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation, an adaptation of the film of the same name. The issue was to have been written by Jody Houser, illustrated by Will Sliney, and published by Marvel Comics.[1] The issue was originally solicited for June 3, 2020, but, on April 1, 2020, Marvel Comics was forced to stall their publishing line due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Eventually, Marvel announced they would resume their publishing line on May 27, 2020, but did not mention a new release date for this issue.[4]
On November 27, 2020, however, Marvel officially confirmed via Comic Book Resources that the series had effectively been cancelled.[5]

"'As a lifelong Star Wars fan, it was an honor to be asked to be a part of wrapping up the Skywalker saga with Marvel Comics,' Houser said. 'We have some fun plans to add scenes and material that weren't seen in the movie.'"
"Relive Rey's quest, the Resistance's desperate last stand, and the return of an old enemy when STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER ADAPTATION #1 hits stands this June!"
