About this Issue

Star Wars: Ahsoka #3 (titled 'Time to Fly') delivers the comic-page debut of Jacen Syndulla — son of Hera Syndulla and the late Jedi Kanan Jarrus — who had only flashed onscreen for a moment in the Rebels series finale before this story gave him his first real scene of any kind in canon media. The issue also marks the first comic appearance of Senator Hamato Xiono, a figure previously known only from the animated Star Wars Resistance, making this issue a rare crossover node connecting three separate corners of the Star Wars franchise (Rebels, Resistance, and the live-action Mandoverse). As a chapter in Ahsoka's debut solo comic run — the first Marvel series ever built entirely around her — the issue helps cement in sequential-art form the political backdrop of a complacent New Republic that seeds its own future destruction, a thematic through-line that runs from this story all the way to The Force Awakens.

History

Marvel announced the eight-issue Star Wars: Ahsoka miniseries in February 2024, positioning it as a direct adaptation of the Disney+ show's first season — episode by episode — and part of the same line of live-action-to-comics adaptations that had already covered The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Writer Rodney Barnes, known for The Boondocks and Marvel's Runaways, scripted all eight issues, with Steven Cummings handling pencils on odd-numbered issues (including #3), Wayne Faucher on inks, Rachelle Rosenberg on colors, and Joe Caramagna lettering; the series was edited by Mark Paniccia and covered by Phil Noto on the main cover for issue #3. The first issue arrived July 10, 2024, with #3 following on September 25, 2024.
