After Dark Horse relinquishes the right to publish further Star Wars comics next year, Marvel will begin its turn in 2015 with three new titles, all set during the original trilogy era.
The first book will be simple titled “Star Wars” as written by Jason Aaron and drawn by John Cassaday. The book will take place after the destruction of the first Death Star as Luke, Han and Leia face off against a resurgent Darth Vader.
Following in February is “Star Wars: Darth Vader” by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca with covers by Adi Granov. This series takes the pitch of the first one and flips it – focusing on Vader as he struggles to regain control over the Empire’s troops after his defeat at the end of the first film.
Finally, Marsh sees the arrival of “Star Wars: Princess Leia” by Mark Waid and Terry Dodson. Also taking place after the battle of Yavin, the miniseries will focus on the princess without a world as her home
planet of Alderaan was destroyed at the start of the first film.
