Since the beginning of 2020, many Miracleof junior Star Wars Comics – Mainly Star Wars series, Darth Vaderas well as those that have been concluded doctor afra and Bounty Hunter–Shifts to a new period in the original film’s timeline: the days and weeks after the events. The Empire Strikes Back. just like the first one new generation Marvel’s Star Wars Previous materials explore the years between new Hope and empirethis one will explore the time between empire and Jedi Counterattack.
Now, as Marvel confirms, that era is coming to an end Star Wars and Darth VaderThe current volumes will end with issue 50, and both comics will be released as large 50-page comics in September. But the problem is: the time period between new Hope and The Empire Strikes Back used to be about three years, just like what happens in our world between two movie releases. There is plenty of time to write Star Wars Comics and Marvel both did it for about five years! time period between The Empire Strikes Back and Jedi Counterattack?
One year. one. about. We already have as many, if not more, of all the different series popping up, Star Wars Comics stories have been crammed in that period – being part of the current canon – for almost as long.
Don’t get me wrong, a lot of these stories are actually really good. But they also often act crazy – like that time zira from solo Appear Attempted to kill Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine by locking them A big box, and then throwing that big box into the sun, only to be stopped by the Knights of Ren (don’t worry); or maybe it all led to an ancient technology being released at that time Robot Zombie Plague Taking over nearly the entire galaxy, trying to dominate the Force itself (do no Worry about it); or when Darth Vader discovers that Palpatine’s advisor Sly Maul has actually been leading a rogue faction of the Empire seeking overthrow the emperorSplit the Empire, before joining himself (maybe you’re actually worried about this, it’s a relatively new plot line that’s name-checked in Marvel’s PR about the path to the Schism) Darth Vader #50, but maybe not, since we know what happens immediately after this, which is Jedi Counterattack! This is not even half its.
All of these moments and reveals, in and of themselves, are still very much a wild and crazy, in that loving atmosphere Star Wars The material way the expanded universe — classic, rebooted or otherwise — kind of needs those wild moments to feel like Star Wars For me, but maybe that’s just my frame of reference after going through something like this That time Chewbacca died because extragalactic BDSM aliens threw a moon at him or Ki-Adi-Mundi the one with many wives. But the truth is, all these huge stories, except interesting, emotional Characters like Luke, Leia, Lando, and Vader formed bonds along the journey, and they later became the people we meet in Star Wars Jedi Counterattack— and Luke, in particular, must grapple with the truth about his father and his lonely path to it. Become a Jedi Knight-Having to cram time into one year on the timeline just makes them feel crazier.
no matter what happens next Star Wars Marvel’s comics are still unknown. Today’s news only vaguely promises that more information about the “new era” of comics will be available in the coming weeks, rather than a clear confirmation of when it will be set. We can leave immediately Jedi Counterattack and fills in some of the gaps that still exist from that period (Marvel has already done a small part of that) broken empirein “Go The Force Awakens” Cross Media Initiative). Yes In 30 years there is still much of it undeveloped between Jedi Knight and The Force Awakens The opportunity is ripe for more storytelling. Hell, they could even start doing what they did with the original trilogy in the sequels, playing reel-to-reel between movies. Or a prequel! Comics go as far back as the past.
In these particularly wild times, there are so many possibilities right now Star Wars The comic is coming to an end – hopefully the next era will find a place with a little more breathing room.
