Who is Doctor Aphra?

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

Empire at 40 | 6 Minor Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Characters You Should Know

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.

Poe Dameron: Free Fall Takes us Back to Yavin 4 – Exclusive Excerpt

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

“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
