Marvel is offering fans a fresh perspective on the upcoming chapter in its Star Wars comic book series. Since Disney acquired Lucasfilm, the publisher has been weaving tales set in the distant galaxy of Star Wars. Most of these comics have been centered around the original trilogy timeline, with some stories also being told during the High Republic era. The next phase of Star Wars publishing will explore the events that unfolded between the films “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”. These events will be depicted in three interconnected limited series, all connected to the Battle of Jakku. Now, fans can get a sneak peek at all 12 covers for this crossover event.

In the upcoming storyline titled “Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku“, the events will unfold across three parts: Insurgency Rising, Republic Under Siege, and Last Stand. The covers showcase several key characters, with both familiar faces and a few unexpected twists. Among those depicted are Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Mon Mothma, Lando from the Rebellion, along with an enigmatic Imperial soldier representing the Empire’s desperate struggle.
