There will be big moments for everyone, from Han to R2-D2. But a major part of the narrative will be driven by Luke Skywalker and his journey of discovery, a journey that will decide the fate of the entire galaxy.

Darth Vader
Darth Vader pennded by Kieron Gillen with art by Salvador Larroc. The  ‘delve into the psyche of one of the vilest villains of all time’ in the  series.

‘Vader’s the sole survivor of the greatest military disaster in history – and a disaster that he definitely had a hand in by letting the rebels escape with the plans for the Death Star. This is not a thing which leaves you in anybody’s good books, let alone the Emperor’s,’ says writer Kieron Gillen. ‘The great thing about this period is what we don’t see on the screen. Vader learns who Luke Skywalker is at some point between the two movies, to choose but one example.’
