Five years later, a key piece of Star Wars is finally published

It may sound familiar, but in 2020 something happened that completely paralyzed the world and marked several generations with traumatic events that will last forever. Well, you know, we all lived through it after all. And this paralysis of everything meant that hundreds of novels, comics, and movies were not published, although they all found their place in the following years. Well, more or less because there was some work that was left behind . . . until now.

Publishing Wars

I’m talking about the comic adaptation of The Rise of Skywalker, the ninth film in the saga, which was put on hold due to the pandemic, and we never heard anything about it again. In February 2025, it will finally start being published in the United States as a collection of five stapled issues that fans better enjoy: it has been maturing in oak barrels, for sure.

The adaptations of movies to comics at Marvel are a tradition that began with A New Hope (in fact, its adaptation was followed by dozens of issues that completely invented the story without George Lucas’s permission) and has continued to our times. And even if the movie was nothing special—if you ask me, the worst of the saga by far—it was a shame it didn’t have its version in comic form, right? One less problem for Lucasfilm. There are . . . well, too many left to solve. Little by little.
