The current timeline of Star Wars comics takes place between the events of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. However, with those stories set to conclude, Marvel Comics has announced new titles that will be set between the events of Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The upcoming miniseries Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku — Insurgency Rising will focus on a pivotal battle in the aftermath of the fall of the Galactic Empire, a conflict which has largely remained a mystery since it was alluded to in the 2015 movie. The first issue of the four-issue miniseries hits shelves on October 2nd.
“It’s an unbelievable honor to be able to tell this lost story of Star Wars history, alongside so many amazing artists, in the pages of the three Battle of Jakku limited series,” writer Alex Segura shared. “Our story will be epic in scope – involving all the major characters you love, plus some new, exciting additions to the mythos. We’ll not only give readers a front-row seat to the final battle of the Galactic Civil War – we’ll reframe the aftermath of the Battle of Endor and introduce a new, menacing threat that will keep our heroes guessing. The goal for all of us is to turn up the volume and make sure this adventure stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the other stories of the era. As the Empire collapses, a new darkness arises!”
“This series is definitely something fans don’t want to miss,” editor Mark Paniccia added. “Within the chaos and destruction of all three minis, there are elements that hint to what comes next.”
Here’s what audiences can expect in the upcoming issues of the miniseries:
Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku — Insurgency Rising #1
Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku — Insurgency Rising #2
Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku — Insurgency Rising #3
Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku — Insurgency Rising #4
Stay tuned for updates on the future of Marvel’s Star Wars comics.
