    This is the first image from the upcoming Marvel comic series tying into Episode 7. We know very little beyond this.

    Lando looks like he is checking out a hot girl off screen.

    Cover doesn't reveal much (nor should it) but this is exciting nonetheless.

    It reveals that Lando is right there with the droids and Chewbacca as an important supporting character for the Big Three. And that it's dropping in September, the same time that Aftermath is hitting shelves. This summer is going to be a long, tense wait.

    Hope this is where Leia and Anakin hash things out/Han finds out/Padme's family etc.

    "Oh my god, the Empire has a new grand admiral?! What do we do?"
    "Don't worry, he just got stabbed."
    "Whew."

    Except instead of Daala, it's Admiral Sloan, and Daala is one of the one's chocking to death!! Give the cool moment to a character who actually deserves it.

    That's why it's "Legends." Some drunken-with-amazement rookie went back to base and exaggerated everything that happened. In actuality, every event in the Bantam books happened within a couple of years or less, this guy just made such a big deal everybody assumed it must've been decades. Oh, Ysanne Isard? Yeah, she was Palpatine's secretary. She sat in his throne one time. No, she was not a warlord, what are you talking about? Derricote? You mean Isard's boyfriend, the exterminator? No, he certainly never created an alien-destroying virus, he sprayed some pesticide to get rid of an insect infestation.

    No, instead of Daala it's Adam Driver.

    Or Gwendoline Christie; I'm not picky.

    BOTH, there a loving couple of badass darksiders intent on bringing order to the Empire and crushing the Rebels. Make Christie a Tarkin and Adam a Solo and you've got the Solkins. They'd have such fun stories about how there parents got along.

    I think this series should be fun, despite not no knowing anything about it. I like that they are starting right after ROTJ. I do hope they continue releasing things in this era even after EP7 comes out. This is my favorite part of Star Wars. The Rebels fighting the post Endor Empire is exciting and I'm excited to see the new path this conflict takes. My one worry is that they eventually replace Star Wars and Darth Vader with new ongoing before they adequately lead into ESB.

    September is going to be an absurd month for Star Wars. When I look at that cover all I can think is "they are only smiling because they know I'm about to give them all of my money."

    ///Marvel hype speak translate mode on!///

    Event series = probably multiple tie-ins a comming. Shattered Empire 0.1 - An Ewok's tale, etc. etc. Seriously, I've never seen a Marvel "Event" series with less than 4 tie-in comics to the main mini.

    Thankfully I told my comic book guy very specifically in January: "If it has Star Wars on the cover, put it aside."

    Hopefully Marvel's Secret Wars event will be winding down by then to roll into Shattered Empire.
