  • Rise of the Red Blade will tell the story of Iskat, a Jedi survivor of Order 66 that turns to the dark side, joining the Inquisitors with the hope of uncovering the truth about her past.
  • Rise of the Red Blade will arrive in 2023.

Sana Starros will star (pun intended!) in her own Marvel mini-series.

  • The fan-favorite rogue steps out in her first solo comic, written by Justina Ireland and coming in February 2023.

New Star Wars: Revelations covers and interiors revealed.

Vader versus Valance and more from Marvel’s February 2023 Star Wars comics.

  • The panel revealed three covers for Marvel Star Wars comics landing in February, including Ema Lupacchino’s illustration for Doctor Aphra #29, featuring a very-much-possessed-by-the-Spark-Eternal Chelli Aphra, and Phil Noto’s movie-poster like image for Han Solo & Chewbacca #9. Both powerful works, but we’re especially intrigued Giuseppe Camuncoli’s cover for Bounty Hunters #31.
