In news direct from New York Comic Con and the Lucasfilm Publishing: Star Wars: Stories From a Galaxy Far, Far Away panel, Marvel Comics has revealed an all new ongoing comic book series set to launch this coming March in Star Wars: Jedi Knights from writer Marc Guggenheim (Star Wars: Han Solo & Chewbacca) and artist Madibek Musabekov (Star Wars).
Taking place before The Phantom Menace, STAR WARS: JEDI KNIGHTS stars the Jedi Order as fans came to know it during the Prequel Trilogy including legendary characters like Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Count Dooku, Mace Windu, and many more. In addition to featuring iconic and fan-favorite Jedi, the series will introduce all new Jedi characters that served the Republic during this pivotal era. Each issue will spotlight a different Jedi duo on a different mission throughout the galaxy, but an overarching threat binds them together. Who is the mysterious new villain targeting Qui-Gon Jinn for death and how will it force the Jedi Order to evolve for a new age?
“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!”
Star Wars: Jedi Knights #1 will go on sale in March 2025.
