Only available at Star Wars #1 Launch Parties, don’t miss your chance to get your hands on this one-of-a-kind variant cover to one of the biggest issues of the year! “We couldn’t be happier to have Star Wars comics back at Marvel,” says Marvel SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel. “Star Wars has always been an important part of Marvel’s history and we knew we wanted to honor that legacy with a callback to the original Marvel Comics Star Wars series. We think old and new fans alike will be just as excited as we are to see Jaxxon, even if it’s only for this fun variant cover.”
 
From the star studded creative team of writer Jason Aaron, artist John Cassaday and colorist Laura Martin comes a brand-new series spotlighting beloved characters from the original trilogy. Taking place immediately after the events of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, follow the continued adventures of Luke, Han, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Darth Vader and more as the growing Rebel Alliance battles for freedom against the Imperial Forces of the Galactic Empire!

Those old Star Wars comics from Marvel were good until they started taking it too seriously, which is the downfall of most comics today. Comics trying to be TV.

Just don't bring back Luke's pet rabbit from those days...

The only good issue Marvel did was Boba Fett coming back with amnesia only to regain his memories just as he is being eaten by a sarlacc again.

Bucky O'Hare was a great comic/tv show/arcade game, but that's not Bucky. That's Jaxxon:
