Star Wars: Battle of Jakku - Insurgency Rising #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue serves as the climax of 'Insurgency Rising,' the opening arc of Marvel's landmark 12-part 'Star Wars: Battle of Jakku' maxi-series — the first comics project to dramatize the post-Return of the Jedi period that bridges the Original and Sequel Trilogies directly in the main Marvel Star Wars canon. It delivers the unmasking of Reyna Oskure, an Anzati dark-side mystic impersonating an Inquisitor, whose identity as a high-ranking Acolytes of the Beyond operative constitutes a meaningful expansion of that cult's canon presence in comics. The issue also marks a creative milestone for the 'Star Wars Resistance' animated character Jarek Yeager, whose first comics appearance in issue #2 of this series carries through to a prominent action role here, translating an animated figure into the primary Marvel continuity for the first time. As the finale that sets the table for 'Republic Under Siege,' issue #4 establishes Grand Moff Ubrik Adelhard — a character originating in the now-defunct mobile game 'Star Wars: Uprising' — as a continuing canonical threat, threading a forgotten gaming narrative back into the living comic canon.

The entire 'Battle of Jakku' event was announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 and positioned as a direct editorial successor to Marvel's long-running post-'Empire Strikes Back' Star Wars line, which concluded with 'Star Wars' #50 and 'Darth Vader' #50 the same year. Writer Alex Segura — previously known in the Star Wars publishing world for the young-adult novel 'Poe Dameron: Free Fall' — was tapped to script all twelve issues of the maxi-series across three four-issue miniseries, with editor Mark Paniccia overseeing the project. Issue #4 specifically features pencils by Jethro Morales and Luke Ross with colors by Rachelle Rosenberg, lettering by VC's Joe Caramagna, and a main cover by Phil Noto, alongside an Alan Quah variant and a Chris Sprouse 'The Phantom Menace' 25th Anniversary variant; the issue shipped on November 6, 2024 with a cover date of January 2025.
