Marvel Comics Star Wars Solicitations For April 2015

Marvel Comics has released solicitations for the Star Wars comic book line of books shipping in April 2015.

April sees the launch of another new series, Kanan: The Last Padawan, diving into the backstory of the "cowboy Jedi" from Star Wars Rebels. In the era of the Rebellion, Leia continues her mission, Darth Vader returns to Geonosis, and Luke Skywalker visits Obi-Wan Kenobi's hut on Tatooine.

• Kanan Jarrus--in STAR WARS REBELS, he's a cocky, sarcastic renegade fighting against the Galactic Empire alongside the rag-tag crew of the Ghost...but years before, at the height of the Clone Wars, he was known as Caleb Dume, Jedi Padawan under the instruction of Jedi Master Depa Billaba. Neither master nor apprentice ever suspected that the Clone Troopers they commanded would turn on them upon the issuing of Order 66—the order to execute all Jedi. How did Caleb Dume survive? How did he learn to survive on his own? And how did he become the man we know as Kanan Jarrus? Writer Greg Weisman (writer/executive producer on STAR WARS REBELS, SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN) and artist Pepe Larraz (DEADPOOL VS. X-FORCE, THOR, INHUMAN) bring us a tale bridging the years between the Clone Wars and Rebels!
