‘Star Wars: Yoda’ comic miniseries announced

Star Wars: Yoda, a new comic miniseries, has been revealed at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim. Here is some information from StarWars.com:

“The new comic is set in the moments before Luke Skywalker’s arrival on Dagobah in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, as the Jedi reflects on his life and his regrets.

Told in three arcs by three writers — Cavan Scott, Jody Houser, and Marc Guggenheim — the series will hurtle back in time to take readers to key moments in Yoda’s life during the prequel era and with a first story set in The High Republic, as he ruminates on the past. With covers from Phil Noto, artists Nico Leon, Luke Ross, and Alessandro Miracolo will illustrate the 10-issue run.”

Some art with Dooku has been shown during the panel:

Star Wars: Obi-Wan comic miniseries announced

StarWars.com has announced Star Wars: Obi-Wan, a five-issue comic miniseries that will launch in May. It seems that much of the story will be set in the Prequel Trilogy era:

“Written by Christopher Cantwell with art by Ario Anindito, the series finds the titular bearded hero in the final days of his time on Tatooine, chronicling earlier adventures in his own journals (which were previously referenced in Marvel’s Star Wars series). The tales span Obi-Wan’s entire life as a guardian of peace and justice, including his days as a Jedi Initiate, Padawan missions, experiencing the Clone Wars as a Jedi Knight, and facing new threats as a Jedi Master.”

The covers below and Cantwell’s interview reveal that Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, Qui-Gon Jinn and Yoda will appear.

Padmé and Anakin will star in Star Wars: The Halcyon Legacy #3

Syfy Wire has revealed that Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker will star in the issue #3 of the comics miniseries Star Wars: The Halcyon Legacy.

The Halcyon is a starship which will be the object of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, an upcoming immersive experience at Walt Disney World. The Halcyon Legacy will tell several stories related to the starship at different eras. It is written by Ethan Sacks, with art by Will Sliney.

Here are the cover and the synopsis of the third issue:

“Anakin and Padmé are in disguise aboard the Halcyon tracking a senator suspected of having separatist ties! But their secret mission will put them on a collision course with Asajj Ventress.”

And here’s a quote from Sacks:

“One of the best parts of writing this mini-series is that chance to visit different eras aboard this beautiful starcruiser. And one of my favorite eras is during the Clone Wars, back when Anakin and Padmé are in the midst of forging their legends. As much as this particular issue of the Halcyon Legacy is a love story, it’s also a love letter from Will Sliney and I to these characters who hold a special place in the hearts of so many Star Wars fans. Including us. But this isn’t a pleasure cruise for our heroes. They’re on a secret mission. And all that romance doesn’t mean it won’t be necessary to break out a lightsaber or blaster when the mission takes a turn…”

Star Wars: The Halcyon Legacy #3 will be released on March 2022.
