Comics Star Wars: Chewbacca (New Marvel Mini-Series)

Announced on page 64 of Star Wars Insider #159, Star Wars: Chewbacca will be a comic miniseries written by Gerry Duggan, illustrated by Phil Noto, and set after the destruction of the first Death Star. The first issue is expected for release in October and kicks into gear when Chewie crash-lands on a hostile Imperially-occupied planet. Zarro, a young feisty girl in need, is among those who make a temporary alliance with the stranded Wookiee as her heroics take her in over her head.

On an interesting note, there will be no translations for readers when Chewie speaks!

 

Hmm, interesting gimmick. That could be interesting and make it feel truer to the films, but it could also result in a lot of contrived dialogue so the readers know what's going on.

 

Yes. Yes. Yes. Hyped. I wonder where the 3 musketeers are while Chewie is doing this.

 

Interesting.

 

There's literally nothing out there I can find about this--can you post a photo of the page?

 

how fresh

 

Yeah, honestly I'd be way more excited for a story where we only understand Chewie.

 

Dahh! Whole comic series of Chewie kicking ass and roaring, nice! This would officially Make Marvel's Star Wars comic count in October for 5 series, oh my (Star Wars, Darth Vader, Shattered Empire, Kanan & Chewie. Unless Chewie gets bounced to November after Shattered Empire. Also possible)

 

Thank you CooperTFN for giving me time to fix my mistake!

 

No, thank you for confirming!

 

Chewie's frustration at the other people not being able to understand him, as well as his deep and philosophical musing on life...

 

Much like Artoo, I feel like Chewie would be hilarious if we knew what he was saying.

 

that old man's mad!

 

I suppose 3PO is the only one who really knows if this is true or not.

Mtv.com (for some reason) is up with an official announcement now. I wonder if this thread forced their hand.

 

This will likely be taking place about the same time that Heir to the Jedi did. In HttJ they did mention that Han and Chewie were off doing something but can't remember the specifics. How detailed was HttJ with Han and Chewie's activities?

 

Cool, wonder who the old acquaintances will be?

I hope the series goes to kashyyyk at some point, would be wicked to see Noto illustrate the wookie forest.

 

Uhh, have we even seen Kashyyk in the new canon yet (excluding episode III of course)? I don't think so, it was nowhere in the clone wars (there was this unfinished kashyyk thing though, but it was far from finished, only ABIT story reel.)

Also, won't this series begin after Shattered Empire? Because this is how the system of mini series have been so far:

Leia starts
Lando strats the week after Leia ends
I believe Lando ends the same day that shattered empire gets released
and shattered empire may end when chewie gets released

so yeaahhhh, thats the mini series.

 

Nice to see Phil on a Chewbacca comic. I hope this is the first of several Star Wars titles he illustrates.

 

Ehh.. I hope after that, they would focus on new characters...

 

Interesting.

I don't know Duggan's work but Noto has quite the rep.
