Star Wars.com has released our first look at the cover to Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Shattered Empire #1, which is one of two upcoming Marvel comic series that will bridge the gap between Return of the Jedi and J.J. Abrams' new movie. You'll probably notice that Luke, Han Leia, Chewie, Lando, and the droids look very much like they did at the end of Jedi, so is that an indication that this first issue will pick up immediately after? No other information was provided with the image, so we'll have to wait and see.

C3PO and R2 don't have articulated facial expressions, this is bound to be a flop.

oh wait

@Doopie

I'd be willing to bet they DIDN'T add the Force Ghosts just so they could avoid the whole "young Anakin/Hayden C Prequel Ghost" controversy entirely. :P

Luke's face looks awesome. Spot on art.

Do we know who's writing this? They've been shelling out for great talent so far.

I actually agree with Grif.. this should be a Tv series on Netflix or something. I'd gladly take it over "Rebels"

All my life I thought that that was the end of Star Wars....now we're getting more.

I didn't ask for it, but holy shitsnacks am I glad we're getting it.

@ILoveMCU4Life - In all the Star Wars movie have you seen anyone looking Hispanic, Japanese, or Italian? They have present other nationalities as certain specific aliens to represent them as a culture in their universe.
I'm not complaining just pointing it out.

Besides Chewie's is a mechanic.

@ILoveMCU4Life - My interpretation to the Star wars universe is just based as comedy nothing personal or serious just for fun and being stupid. Plus I do like me some Chewbaca!

As for the Ewoks I personally thought they were the midgets of the Star wars Universe not really speculated them for being Native Americans.

@ILoveMCU4Life - No I understood what you wrote I just didn't take it seriously. You on the other hand over thought the concept of what I was aiming at.

*I think you are simply projecting your wants onto the film.* - ILoveMCU4Life

Star Wars are films with CG and cosplayers are not intended to be serious films it's for pure popcorn enjoyment; except the prequels ugh. This film may not be my favorite film but it is fun to watch. I joke more about this films than another films I know of.

My opinions are not meant to change anyone else's minds or thoughts just throwing stuff out thier like everyone on this site. I don't take anything personal and I don't believe I'm above others. Like everyone else here it's all fun and games. Nothing or anyone should get butt hurt about someone's else's opinion about the topic. I don't insult people and I don't want to be disrespected just like anyone else on this site.

Just to keep it clear between you and me before you take anything perosnal of what I say.

@ILoveMCU4Life - I just don't see the conversation your trying to imply. I don't dewlve into the Star Wars mythology to make it into a conversation. I'm speaking about the movies in general and maybe I did or did not pay attention.
But I do not recall Mandalorian culture. As for Ancient Spartan culture from the greeks yeah I can shoot the shit about them. It's part of our World History that I enjoy more.

@ILoveMCU4Life - LMAO....seriously give it a rest I never stated anything as being facts. As long as I've been on this website I have never stated anything to be a matter of fact.

For someone whos got a BA in history you don't know when to let it die.

Moving on.
