Star Wars: Dark Droids brings horror to the galaxy far, far away

April 15, 2023 by Gary Collinson

Horror is coming to the galaxy far, far away this August as Marvel teams Star Wars storytellers Charles Soule (Star Wars), Ethan Sacks (Star Wars: Bounty Hunters), Alyssa Wong (Star Wars: Doctor Aphra), Cavan Scott (Star Wars: The High Republic), and Marc Guggenheim (Star Wars: Han Solo & Chewbacca) for the crossover event Star Wars: Dark Droids.

The event will be spearheaded by Charles Soule (Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters, Star Wars: Crimson Reign) who will write the main limited series with art from Luke Ross; check out the cover artwork to Dark Droids #1 below, along with August’s tie-in issues…

Star Wars: Dark Droids #1
Who or what is the Scourge — and why is no droid safe? As a corruption spreads from one droid to the next, the Rebel Alliance and the Empire both face chaos! What role does Ajax Sigma from last year’s Star Wars: Revelations one-shot play in all of this? And whose side is he on?

Star Wars #37
LOBOT LOST!
Something has gone horribly wrong with Lobot, putting the Rebellion at terrible risk! Lando Calrissian will do anything to save his friend, even if it means betraying the Rebels. Will the SCOURGE OF THE DROIDS destroy any chance to cure Lobot, or will he be lost forever?

Star Wars: Darth Vader #37
CURSE OF THE JEDI!
Killer Droids have taken over Darth Vader’s flagship Super Star Destroyer, the Executor! But even with the powerful Kyberite shield, the Dark Lord of the Sith cannot fully control the Force! Will the lessons of Jedi Masters Qui-Gon and Obi-Warn save him from the SCOURGE — or make him a tool for its galactic conquest?

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #35
The Milestone 75th Issue of Doctor Aphra!
Something is rotten in the House of Tagge! Sent by Domina Tagge to investigate a series of strange droid malfunctions, Doctor Aphra faces a deadly enemy from the past—a horde of Clone War-Era Prototype Battle Droids designed by Domina herself! Is this sabotage? Betrayal? Or something far, far worse?

Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #37
The Haunting Secret Mission of Jango Fett!
The Bounty Hunters must contend with the looming shadow of the sins of Boba Fett’s father! What is the secret that lurks on the mysterious droid outpost, The Haven? Who is Tarr Kligson and what is his connection to Jango Fett?

Star Wars: Dark Droids #1 will go on sale in August 2023.
