Marvel has announced the upcoming release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Storms of Crait, a new miniseries from Ben Acker and Ben Blacker (Star Wars: Join the Resistance) and Mike Mayhew (Star Wars) set between the events of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, which sees Luke and Leia venturing to the planet Crait during their search for a new Rebel base.

“We’re excited for the opportunity to tell this story,” said editor Jordan D. White, “Tying the new sequel series in more tightly with the original trilogy era, and helping make the Galaxy Far Away a little more fleshed out. The Bens are a great fit in for Star Wars, as they showed in Join the Resistance, and Mike has did such great work on both covers and the Obi-Wan issues of the flagship Star Wars title, that we couldn’t be happier to have him back doing art for us.”
In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, it becomes a battleground between the Resistance and the First Order, but that wasn’t the first time Crait became a place where heroes and villains clashed in their fight for the galaxy. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa once took up arms on Crait and led the rebellion as they as they searched for a new home – and a new base for the Rebel Alliance. Tying in to the eagerly anticipated December film, STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI – STORMS OF CRAIT promises to be a new and exciting adventure for all Star Wars fans – and a story that will change the galaxy as we know it.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Storms of Crait #1 will go on sale on December 27th.
