Aiolin Astarte

Aiolin Astarte is a character who appears in Marvel's Star Wars comic series, operating in the same dangerous orbit as Darth Vader and the sinister assassin droid Triple Zero, suggesting she moves through the Empire's most treacherous circles.

Aiolin Astarte made her entrance into the galaxy far, far away with Star Wars #6 in 2016, brought to life by the creative team of Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca during the Modern Age resurgence of Marvel's Star Wars publishing. Her nine catalogued appearances — spread across Star Wars and its reprint editions from Panini Deutschland — place her in extraordinarily charged company: she shares pages with Darth Vader himself, Anakin Skywalker, and the delightfully sinister droids Triple Zero and BT-1. That's a corner of the Star Wars comics universe where the stakes are about as high as they get, and any character who moves through that world is worth seeking out for fans who love the darker, more morally complex edges of the saga.
