This October, a new era of Star Wars comic book storytelling begins in Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku! Written by acclaimed, award-winning author Alex Segura and drawn by a team of superstar artistic talent–Leonard Kirk, Stefano Raffaele, Jethro Morales, and Luke Ross—Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku will be told across three limited series: Insurgency Rising, Republic Under Siege, and Last Stand. 

Set after Return of the Jedi, the saga will be centered around the never-before-told final moments of the Galactic Civil War. First introduced in Star Wars: The Force Awakens as Rey scavenged amongst its wreckage, the Battle of Jakku was a pivotal turning point for the galaxy. On the sandy dunes of Jakku, the scattered forces of the Empire made their desperate last stand after their secret base was discovered by the Rebellion, who were determined to destroy them once and for all so that the New Republic could thrive! Now, fans will witness this pivotal moment in Star Wars canon for the first time ever!

Starring core characters like Luke and Leia as well as new heroes and villains who were instrumental during this thrilling period, the three Battle of Jakku series will bridge the gap between the Original Trilogy and the Sequel Trilogy like never before, revealing key insights behind the aftermath of the Battle of Endor and the Empire’s demise, including the Emperor’s secret contingency plans; and introduce the shocking power-hungry threats that emerged during this time of uncertainty!
