12 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM THE LATEST STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI COMICS

Via Starwars.com:

STARWARS.COM DISCOVERS MORE ABOUT THE CHARACTERS, CREATURES, AND WORLDS OF THE LAST JEDI FROM SOME GREAT COMICS.

If you want to go deeper into Star Wars: The Last Jedi, here’s a place you can look: comics. To mark the release of the film on Digital, Movies Anywhere, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and On-Demand last month, StarWars.com went through the latest comics related to the film — The Storms of Crait, DJ: Most Wanted, Forces of Destiny — Rose & Paige, and Star Wars Adventures #5 and #6 — to find some the most interesting connections and revelations.

In The Storms of Crait, an ally of the late Bail Organa has tipped Leia off about Crait, an abandoned mining world perfectly suited for the Alliance’s new home base. But SCAR Squadron, an elite stormtrooper unit that reports directly to Darth Vader — first introduced in Marvel’s flagship Star Wars title — shows up to thwart Leia’s survey expedition. DJ: Most Wanted, written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker (Star Wars: Join the Resistance), sheds new light on the two-faced codebreaker who calls himself “DJ.” And the heroic Tico sisters share the spotlight in IDW’s Rose & Paige, a story that takes place on D’Qar prior to The Force Awakens. Star Wars Adventures #5 and #6 contain several short, all-ages stories, and they’re every bit as fun as you’d expect from writers like Delilah S. Dawson (Star Wars: Phasma), who tackles both the porgs and Rose Tico in her delightful new tales, “The Best Pet” and “Rose Knows.”

Here’s what we learned from these great stories — and don’t forget: Marvel’s adaptation of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, written by Gary Whitta, arrives in May!
