Marvel Announces 3 Star Wars Comics

Star Wars is the flagship title and will star Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo. As part of the Rebel Alliance, they will try and capitalize on their victory at the Battle of Yavin, but of course Darth Vader won’t let that happen. It will be written by Jason Aaron (Original Sin, Thor: God of Thunder) and drawn by John Cassaday (Astonishing X-Men) and is slated for release in January 2015.
