New York, NY— January 16, 2025 — This March, Lucasfilm and Marvel Comics once again team up to celebrate Women’s History Month with special variant covers highlighting the women of Star Wars. This year’s covers come from an incredible lineup of acclaimed comic artists: Betsy Cola, Ema Lupacchino, Jan Duursema, and Yasmine Putri. Representing various eras of Star Wars storytelling, the four covers will be featured on highly-anticipated upcoming titles including STAR WARS: JEDI KNIGHTS, STAR WARS: LEGACY OF VADER, STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC – FEAR OF THE JEDI, and STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER ADAPTATION.
Here are the characters spotlighted in this year’s collection:
· Ahsoka Tano, the former Jedi who served as Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan during the Clone Wars and recently headlined her own live-action series on Disney+.
· Leia Organa, the legendary Rebel Alliance leader and groundbreaking pop culture icon. The cover depicts Leia training to be a Jedi during the post-Return of the Jedi time period, a largely-unexplored era that Marvel Comics is currently telling stories in.
· Lina Soh, who served as Supreme Chancellor during the Galactic Republic’s golden age. See her brave leadership in action in STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC – FEAR OF THE JEDI, the galaxy-shattering conclusion to the High Republic’s current saga.
· Rey Skywalker, the powerful Jedi hero who saved the galaxy from the re-emerged Sith in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Fans can soon relive her journey in the long-awaited STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER ADAPTATION comic series, which includes all-new scenes not in the final film.
