COMICS: A New Hero Stands Tall On STAR WARS: SHATTERED EMPIRE #2 Cover
Marvel's Star Wars comics have all been great so far, but there's something particularly exciting about the upcoming The Force Awakens prequel which will shed some light on what happened after the events of Return of the Jedi. Hit the jump to meet a brand new character...
In Star Wars: Shattered Empire by Greg Rucka and Marco Checchetto, The First Order is still decades away, but Luke, Han, and Leia have a lot on their plate after overthrowing the governing force that controlled the galaxy. StarWars.com asks, "Who is that standing beside the starship that resembles an A-Wing? Is she a Jedi? A friend to the Rebels? It’s a safe bet bounty hunters continued offering their services after the collapse of the Empire." Could this be a character who will somehow be linked to Star Wars: The Force Awakens? There's a good chance that will be the case, but we'll just have to wait and see for time being. Share your thoughts in the usual place.
