When Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, one of the biggest surprises given to fans was the reveal that three new sequel films would be developed, exploring the events following Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. While the two sequel films released so far have explored a number of new characters, there’s still a lot of mythology left to uncover, while Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will conclude the journeys of these characters. Luckily, a series of one-shot comic books from Marvel will be debuting this fall which will explore various adventures of some of the key figures in this sequel trilogy.
