The future of Star Wars comics was revealed at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023! Current Star Wars storytellers Charles Soule, Ethan Sacks, Alyssa Wong, Cavan Scott, and Marc Guggenheim joined Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski and Senior Lucasfilm Creative Executive Matt Martin to reveal the upcoming sagas gracing the pages of Marvel’s hit Star Wars comics including “Dark Droids,” an ambitious new event launching this summer!
Following recent events like “War of the Bounty Hunters” and “Crimson Reign,” Star Wars: Dark Droids will be spearheaded by Charles Soule who will write the main limited series alongside artist Luke Ross. Launching in August with Star Wars: Dark Droids #1, the event will also spin off into new series and tie into the four ongoing series that are currently bridging the gap between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi films: Star Wars, Star Wars: Darth Vader, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, and Star Wars: Bounty Hunters. “Dark Droids” will be a rare horror-fueled Star Wars epic set that erupts when a new threat is unleashed throughout the galaxy, corrupting droids, cyborgs, and everything in-between!
Who or what is the Scourge — and why is no droid safe? As a corruption spreads from one droid to the next, the Rebel Alliance and the Empire both face chaos! What role does Ajax Sigma from last year’s Star Wars: Revelations one-shot play in all of this? And whose side is he on?
Here’s what you can expect in DARK DROIDS tie-in issues this August:

What does one o do when they see something bad about to happen? Imagine you knew something was going to happen, and you may have some power to stop it? This si where your moral compass contends with your logical side This is where we most want to interfere or speak up.
What usually hold people back is the repercussions. As they wonder if it is something they ignore or it something that propels them to act. This is why we should always pay attention to our intuition. In Star Wars: Yoda #5, Yoda and Dooku must trust the Fore that something dark is amidst.
We are taken to Alaris Prime, 12 years before, where Yoda is summoned to assist, as he meets a young Padawan who would become one of his most gifted students. We fast forward, and one of his students, Krrsisih, is filled with Dark side, as it seethes over his being, creating conflict where there is none. which leads to Yoda unpack why the Padawan is so troubled, and it all comes down to tribal differences. Dooku arrives looking to help Krrsisih, as he still seeks answers . By the issue’s end, the initiates are sent out on a wilderness retreat, but trouble arises when Krrsisih decides to fulfill a prophecy he saw in a dream.
Overall, Star Wars: Yoda #5 is an issue which shows how darkness resides in all of us. The story by Houser is exhilarating. The art by the creative team is dazzling. Altogether, a story that being slow to hate, is harder than anyone can imagine.
