About this Issue

Star Wars (2025) #6 delivers a notable cross-era milestone: it marks the first time in Star Wars canon — across films, television, novels, and comics — that a Jedi has worn a full suit of clone trooper armor, with Luke Skywalker donning 501st Legion gear to fight a battalion of Trade Federation battle droids in the New Republic era. The issue deepens the father-son thematic thread running through Alex Segura's run by rendering Luke and Anakin's parallel battles in a split-panel image that makes the generational weight of the Skywalker legacy literal on the page. As the closing chapter of Phil Noto's interior art on the series, the issue also marks a creative handoff point, giving Noto's tenure on the book a distinctive visual capstone before guest artists take over for the arc's conclusion. The issue also serves as the first full-issue delivery of the Nagai backstory — finally laying out in explicit detail the Zantarrk Gang's role as the instrument of Reyna Oskure's manipulation of the Fenril Consortium, a political mystery that had been building since issue #1.

History

The Star Wars (2025) series launched in May 2025 as a third-volume relaunch of Marvel's flagship Star Wars ongoing, with writer Alex Segura — who had already established the post-Return of the Jedi canon timeline through his Star Wars: Battle of Jakku limited series — ascending to the main title. Segura has described the post-Jakku era as 'almost wide open' compared to the tightly canonically constrained Battle of Jakku, giving him and artist Phil Noto unusually broad creative latitude for a canon Star Wars comic. Noto, who previously drew the Poe Dameron series for Marvel, noted the particular excitement of redesigning the classic original trilogy characters for a period with no film or television visual reference, working from 1980s actor likenesses to craft the New Republic-era looks. Issue #6 was published on October 1, 2025, and represents Noto's final issue as interior artist on the run, with rotating artists handling the back half of the ten-issue arc.

Trivia · 8 facts

  • Published October 1, 2025, by Marvel Comics; written by Alex Segura with interior art, colors, and cover by Phil Noto; lettered by VC Clayton Cowles; edited by Mark Paniccia.
  • First instance in Star Wars canon — across all media — of a Jedi wearing a full suit of clone trooper armor: Luke Skywalker dons 501st Legion gear to fight B1 battle droids and Armored Assault Tanks on the planet Loradil.
  • Han Solo and Beilert Valance also wear clone trooper armor in the same sequence, echoing the A New Hope sequence in which Luke and Han wore stormtrooper armor to infiltrate the Death Star.
  • Features a key split-panel visual in which Luke fighting battle droids in clone armor is mirrored against a flashback image of Anakin Skywalker in his Clone Wars armor fighting the same class of enemies, making the father-son thematic parallel explicit within the story's text (Luke's internal monologue directly questions whether he can avoid the temptations that led to Anakin's fall).
  • Issue #6 is Phil Noto's final issue as interior artist on the Star Wars (2025) series; he continued as cover artist for subsequent issues while other artists took over interiors.
  • The Nagai storyline is fully explained for the first time: via the character Marntiv, readers learn the Zantarrk Gang has been enslaving the Nagai people in labor camps to build the Fenril Consortium's armies, with Reyna Oskure identified as the hidden power behind the scheme.
  • On Chandrila, Chancellor Mon Mothma and Leia Organa confirm the Fenril Consortium fleet is approaching New Republic space; Agent Bastion's undercover operation on Kaltrais — confirming the location of Consortium leaders Reyna Oskure and Prime Minister Kezrin Almovar — is the direct result of Leia's unseen prior planning.
  • The series is set approximately 6 ABY, roughly two years after the Battle of Endor and shortly after the Battle of Jakku, in the largely uncharted canonical gap between Return of the Jedi and The Mandalorian; issues 1–6 were later collected in the trade paperback Star Wars: Out of the Darkness.
