Marvel’s Star Wars #1 is here.

The Force is with it.

Writer Jason Aaron and artist John Cassaday give us a new adventure set after the first destruction of the Death Star. Every moment is so pitch perfect you may feel like A New Hope just kept going.

Aaron captures the chemistry between Han and Leia, the spirit of Luke and shows us a darker side and skills of Chewbacca in the first issue.

He nailed the classic icons and as for new characters?

“…we’ll dance between the raindrops and bring characters together in different pairings that maybe we’ve never seen before. And we won’t just be beholden to characters from the original film or “The Empire Strikes Back.” We’ll mix things in different ways, and yes, there will be new characters added to the mix. I think the first major, new character in this title shows up in “Star Wars”#4,” Aaron told Comic Book Resources.

Aaron says once you read Darth Vader #1 you will see the connections to Star Wars #1. Yes, the Dark Lord of the Sith is starring in his own series by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca starting next month.
