Star Wars: Return of the Jedi - Max Rebo #1

The galaxy's favorite blue Ortolan keyboardist finally gets his moment in the spotlight with this 2023 Marvel one-shot, released as part of the Return of the Jedi 40th anniversary celebration. Ryan Brown's cover art places Max Rebo front and center at his instrument, wide-eyed and seemingly caught between two imposing, arguing aliens looming behind him — and the cover's teasing question, "Who's plotting to overthrow Jabba the Hutt?", hints at the dangerous world this small musician navigates. With Daniel José Older writing and art from Paul Fry and colorist David López, this is a warm, overdue spotlight on one of the Star Wars cantina scene's most endearing figures.
