Comics Marvel’s "Star Wars" Launches into the New Republic Era After Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

Are there any women characters who can fit the mold of becoming Lumiya? I think Reyna Oskure filling that role would be kind of lame. Like maybe in the new canon Lumiya’s deep cover name isn’t Shira Brie

 

Intresting that Luke Skywalker shifts between Jedi outfit and pilot outfit. Post ROTJ all we see is him in Jedi clothes. And all other jedi we see, fly ships in their jedi gear.

 

She could be one of the children that the Inquisitors kidnapped for Project Harvester, all grown up and with a serious chip on her shoulder.

 

There's any number of characters floating around that could be pressed into a Lumiya mold. I mean, nothing's really stopping them from recanonizing Shira Brie and bringing back Lumiya herself, if they wanted to.

But here's what I'm thinking: Segura went to the trouble of creating a new female, possibly Force-using, dark side character for the Battle of Jakku title, and his tendency to revisit his own characters has already been noted. If there's going to be a Lumiya-type character involved in Nagai Invasion v2, I think we already know who it's going to be.

 

YEEESSSSSS!

They actually did, crazy kriffers really did it!

...wonder if Nagai and Everani will be connected in the new canon, since both are kind of star wars dark elves.

Agent Naare of course.

More seriously, I could see her working as a project harvester kid, but most likely it will be Reyna. They had her live for a reason, and she had a Nagai blade already.

 

I want to have hope for this series. I really, truly do. It is the most Nick-class series I could think of and it handled right, the potential is endless. I want single issues and small arcs to break away from the core cast and expand the universe. I wanna see Wedge Antilles establishing the New Republic's starfighter school Hosnian Prime. I would love to see Ackbar fighting political pressures and defense needs in the post-Concordance environment to ensure that the navy that is left has the best resources it can get. Let's have interlude style stories that catch up with the Alderaanian refugees who are building a space station in the Graveyard out of parts of the second Death Star. Let's see reconstruction efforts. Anti-piracy patrols. Political intrigue.

I know I sound like a broken record, but if we even get parts of this, I'll be stoked.

The best I can do is “stormtrooper shootouts interspersed with monologues from the big 3 about what it means to be a rebel”

 

But what does it mean to be a New Republican?

 

There will be one issue where Doctor Aphra shows up. Don’t worry!

Being a New Republican is, in sense, like being a rebel

 

It means the old Republicans who were responsible for the rise of Emperor Palpatine have scammed enough young people to restore an ineffective and corrupt government.

 

So you’re saying…the Republicans are the problem.

 

Phil Noto! Sold! Morseo!

 

Wonder if "bloodthirsty gang of mercenaries" from issue 1 solicit will be revealed to be proto-Guavians.

 

or Kanjiklub

 

Always thought they passed up an idea for a new Action Figure by not having Anakin and Obi-Wan in "Jedi flight suits" at the beginning of RotS. Maybe based on this pre-production art from TPM:

 

Finished the original Star Wars Marvel 107 - we need 80’s long haired Arnold Schwarzenegger Luke with two lightsabers fighting evil revolutionary war re enactors to be canon. Also just spam Hoojibs, Zeltrons and Hiromi. YAYYYYY!

 

I didn't think about this but I wonder if we're going to see the full events leading to Luke discovering Jocastu Nu's cache that we saw him uncover in the 2017 Darth Vader series.

 

I was just thinking, is there a chance that the Damerons appear, maybe not in this run, but in the next run? Would we see Shara be killed off in a comic? I know the Timelines book said she died of Bloodburn, and Poe Dameron: Free Fall says she died alone in space, but one or the other could be retconned (they do this all the time, anyway). I keep wishing and hoping that we'd see her in live-action (Either the Mandalorian or the now-scrapped Rangers of the New Republic) and that she'd be killed off on that show, but that's never going to happen.

 

Spoiler: Pages from issue#1

 

Bumping for issue 1

 

I didn't finish Vol 2 and I've only seen Return of the Jedi will this be a good jumping on point? Anyway should pick it up today!
