Star Wars #1
This volume kicks off Marvel's 2015 relaunch of the Star Wars comic series, set shortly after the events of Episode IV: A New Hope. Written by Jason Aaron with art by John Cassaday, the story follows Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo as they strike back against the Empire, while Darth Vader hunts for the pilot who destroyed the Death Star. It collects the first six issues of the ongoing series.
"Book 1 Skywalker Strikes Chapter One" marks the thrilling start of Jason Aaron’s Star Wars saga, with John Cassaday’s dynamic art bringing Luke Skywalker’s first steps toward becoming a Jedi to life. After returning to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s home, Luke is ambushed by bounty hunter Boba Fett in a sudden, blinding clash, while Han and Leia struggle to survive a crash landing on a storm-wracked world. Cover by John Cassaday captures the intensity of these pivotal moments, setting the stage for a galaxy-spanning adventure.
Han Solo, posing as an emissary for Jabba the Hutt, leads a daring mission to infiltrate and sabotage an Imperial weapons factory—only to find himself face-to-face with Darth Vader when the Empire’s most feared enforcer arrives unexpectedly. With his crew of trusted rebels and a high-stakes gamble, Han must rely on wit and nerve to survive the trap he never saw coming.
In "Book I, Part II Skywalker Strikes," Luke Skywalker faces off against Darth Vader in a blazing lightsaber duel during a high-stakes Rebel mission to destroy an Imperial weapons factory. With Han Solo, Princess Leia, and the rest of the rebel crew racing to intervene, the fate of the mission—and Luke’s survival—hangs in the balance.
Luke, Han, Leia, and the Rebel team are trapped behind enemy lines after their mission to destroy an Imperial weapons factory goes wrong, forcing them to navigate a desperate escape through hostile territory. With the Empire closing in, their only hope lies in staying one step ahead—before the odds become impossible.
In "Book I, Part IV Skywalker Strikes," Luke sets out with R2-D2 for Tatooine, unaware that Darth Vader has already arrived to broker a dangerous alliance with Jabba the Hutt on behalf of Emperor Palpatine. Meanwhile, Princess Leia, having narrowly escaped Vader’s grasp, pushes forward with her Rebel allies to strike back at the Empire’s growing power.
In "Book I, Part V Skywalker Strikes," Luke Skywalker’s decision to return to Tatooine takes a dangerous turn when he learns Bobba Fett is already there, hunting him on Darth Vader’s orders. Meanwhile, Han Solo and Leia, on a mission to find a new Rebel base, unknowingly draw the attention of a hidden pursuer tracking them both.
In the wake of his quest to become a Jedi, Luke Skywalker returns to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s humble home—only to be ambushed by a flash-grenade and forced into a desperate fight against the notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett. Meanwhile, Han Solo and Leia Organa, fleeing Imperial TIE fighters, make a crash landing on a planet wracked by violent electrical storms.
