‘Star Wars: A New Legacy’ Set to Release in 2025, Featuring the Return of Beloved Characters

Star Wars stands as a cornerstone of modern science fiction, evolving from an innovative project to one of the most cherished and profitable fictional universes in history. When George Lucas launched the franchise with A New Hope, it changed the landscape of cinema, and today we recognize its profound impact and enduring success.

The franchise now encompasses not only the main films but also a wide array of TV shows, comic books, video games, toys, and other merchandise, continually expanding with fresh stories and new interpretations of classic narratives.

Given this ongoing evolution, it’s no surprise that more projects are on the horizon.

In January 2025, a new comic book titled Star Wars: A New Legacy will debut, featuring the return of some beloved characters. Fans will finally get to explore more of their stories and journeys in this exciting installment.

Star Wars: A New Legacy #1 is set to be released on January 29, 2025. This special one-shot edition will showcase stories from various writers and aims to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the acclaimed Star Wars (2015) #1 comic book, which is considered one of the best in recent years.

Editor Mark Paniccia shared his thoughts on the upcoming issue:

This is the monumental moment we’ve been waiting for: celebrating a decade of the re-union of Marvel Comics and Star Wars! We’ve got a great package here with some of the most influential Star Wars comic writers in recent history along with amazing art.

It is so cool to spotlight as many of the Marvel-created characters as we could. Longtime and new fans alike will get a kick in the thrusters with this!
