Some of your favorite Jedi Knights are headlining a new Star Wars comic. Marvel Comics is ushering in a new era of Star Wars storytelling with Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku, but that doesn’t mean the publisher can’t go back in time to Star Wars’ past to tell new adventures. Today’s Star Wars: Stories From a Galaxy Far, Far Away panel at New York Comic Con announced Star Wars: Jedi Knights, a new ongoing series debuting in March 2025. It’s Marvel’s first series featuring the legendary Jedi Knights, and while favorites like Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Mace Windu are a part of the cast, new Jedi will also be introduced to readers.
Star Wars: Jedi Knights is written by Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Marc Guggenheim (Star Wars: Han Solo & Chewbacca, Star Wars: Yoda) with art by Madibek Musabekov (Star Wars, X-Men Red). It joins the upcoming one-shot Star Wars: A New Legacy as new titles Marvel is releasing in the new year. Star Wars and Star Wars: Darth Vader both wrapped up their runs this year, but Marvel is moving forward with telling new stories set between the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

However, Star Wars: Jedi Knights takes place before The Phantom Menace and will spotlight a different Jedi duo in each issue. There is an overarching threat that ties each story together, and a mysterious new villain is targeting Quin-Gon Jinn for death.
“Marc and Madibek deliver a blockbuster first issue with a cliffhanger that kicks off one action-packed issue after another featuring your favorite Jedi,” Editor Mark Paniccia teased. “You’ve literally never seen so much lightsaber action in a comic book!”
