Der Fünfte Bruder

Emerging from the pages of Panini Deutschland's German-language Star Wars comics in 2024, Der Fünfte Bruder is a Modern Age addition to the galaxy far, far away, debuted in Star Wars #106 by the creative team of Jody Houser, Matthias Wieland, and Salvador Larroca. With only a handful of catalog appearances so far, this is a character whose story is just beginning — but the company is extraordinary, sharing pages with titans like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Leia Organa, and Anakin Skywalker, as well as the intriguingly named Dritte Schwester. For collectors with an eye for early appearances and a love of the Star Wars expanded universe in its international editions, Der Fünfte Bruder represents exactly the kind of ground-floor discovery worth watching.
