Part of the attack on Scarif and the Death Star, the Star Wars:

She’s worked for Darth Vader and lived to tell the tale, smiled at Emperor Palpatine, blasted baddies alongside Princess Leia, gotten into a bar fight at Luke Skywalker’s side, and kidnapped Hera Syndulla. She’s also endlessly inventive and unpredictable, has questionable morals, and is the only Star Wars character to take the comic book galaxy by storm without ever being seen on a screen.

We could only be talking about Doctor Chelli Aphra.

The good doctor is back in an all-new solo comic series by Alyssa Wong and Marika Cresta, and a new audio drama, Doctor Aphra: An Audiobook Original by Sarah Kuhn; let’s meet the fan-favorite antihero.

Behind the Scenes

Chelli Aphra was created by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Salvador Larroca in Darth Vader #3 (2015). An archaeologist

On May 21, 1980, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back made its theatrical debut. To celebrate the classic film’s landmark 40th anniversary, StarWars.com presents “Empire at 40,” a special series of interviews, editorial features, and listicles.

There are heroes who loom so large in Star Wars that you don’t even have to say their last names to know who they are. Luke. Leia. Han. Lando. But what about the characters with faces you know, but names you don’t?

In honor of an incredible 40 years, let’s learn more about five characters from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back that you might not have had the chance to meet until now. Whether they’re an indispensable assistant that helps our heroes, or someone who runs across the screen for just a split second (literally), these Star Wars characters

It’s been over two years since Star Wars fans said goodbye to the crew of the Ghost in the season finale of Star Wars Rebels. But interest in the show, especially with its debut on streaming service Disney+ last fall, hasn’t waned. And now audiences both new and old can dive into the art behind the series.

Available now Dark Horse Books, The Art of Star Wars Rebels takes fans inside the making of the series with never-before-seen concept art, interviews with the talents behind Star Wars Rebels, and much more. StarWars.com caught up with author Dan Wallace for insight into how The Art of Star Wars Rebels came to be.

He was a spice runner? Poe Dameron’s reunion with Zorii Bliss in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hinted at the life the best pilot in the Resistance had led in his youth. But instead of bringing us answers, their brief banter on Kijimi only left us with more questions.

In Poe Dameron: Free Fall by Alex Segura, we can finally expect some answers. Set a few years after his mother, Shara Bey, passed away, the story finds a troubled teenaged Poe running away from home (and his Rebel hero father) to find adventure and — of course — some trouble.

In an exclusive excerpt from the book, which hits store shelves August 4, we find the young Poe grappling with his morality as he makes an escape from Yavin

To celebrate the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Disney+, we’re undertaking a full chronological rewatch of the five original seasons, The Lost Missions, and the theatrical release.

103: “Shades of Reason” (Season Five, Episode 15)

“Alliances can stall true intentions.”

Synopsis:

Backed by the criminal underworld, the Sith and Death Watch launch an attack on Mandalore.

Analysis:

Oh, benevolent Maul. A phrase that sounds about as trustworthy as this one: “We’re Death Watch and we’re here to rescue you.”

At the outset, Maul seems ready to sow chaos and allow Death Watch to arrest him and his thugs, turning

Looking for an activity that’s fun, engaging, and educational? Each week, Teaching with Star Wars will offer unique lessons for you and your younglings that promise to foster opportunities for discovery and learning, all through the lens of a galaxy far, far away. And it sounds like the bell just rang, so let’s head to the classroom now. Punch it, Chewie!

Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi have a unique relationship in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. The master and Padawan have profound mutual respect and admiration but are not afraid to question each other in times of conflict or uncertainty. While this, in and of itself, can be a positive thing, it can also lead to some contentious debates. To disagree is one thing, but to be disagreeable…that’s something else.

For those who don’t know, I love the prequel trilogy. It’s epic, it’s romantic, it’s filled with great characters, great action, and one of the great tragedies in all of modern myth — the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker. But, I’m not here to simply gush about the prequels all day (although I could). Instead, I’m going to gush about one of my favorite things to come out of this piece of the Star Wars era: Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

And let me tell you, if there’s one thing that rivals my love for the prequels, it’s this groundbreaking animated series. In fact, I adore it so much that I’m writing a comic book series from IDW Publishing that coincided with The Clone Wars’ return. That’s right. If you
