The newest chapter of the Star Wars saga begins this April!<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

New York, NY\u2014January 22, 2019\u2014<\/strong>A new chapter of\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0is coming! This April, Marvel invites you to join writer Ethan Sacks (Old Man Hawkeye<\/em>) and artist Will Sliney for the thrilling, epic STAR WARS: GALAXY\u2019S EDGE #1, the riveting comic adventure tie-in to the\u00a0themed land!<\/p>\n

\n

Black Spire Outpost has long been frequented by smugglers, merchants and travelers from every corner of the galaxy looking to make their score on the infamous black market \u2013 or experience the exotic thrills only the remote world of Batuu has to offer. It\u2019s a place where beings thrive on unique opportunities of the lawless outpost at the edge of space \u2013 but the First Order threatens their livelihood\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFor me personally, this is a chance to fulfill a lifelong dream that started back when I was 4 years old watching the opening crawl for the first time at the Astor Plaza in Times Square during the summer of 1977,\u201d said Sacks. \u201cThis new adventure, set in the wondrous \u2013 and dangerous \u2013 Black Spire Outpost, will have profound consequences for the Star Wars universe, and fans will be excited to see this story span through the eras and bring together some all-time favorite characters, including Han Solo and Chewbacca!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBlack Spire Outpost is a place of endless intrigue and adventure, and what\u2019s uniquely exciting about the\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0universe is that we are able to bring these stories to life across multiple platforms including comic books, novels, games and the immersive experiences we are building in our theme parks,\u201d said Scott Trowbridge, creative executive for the\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0portfolio from Walt Disney Imagineering.\u00a0\u201cWorking together with Lucasfilm, we are able to integrate back stories, introduce new characters, as well as reveal previously untold stories about fan-favorite characters and their history with the planet Batuu and its colorful inhabitants.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Star Wars: Galaxy\u2019s Edge<\/em>, the all-new 14-acre lands, will open at Disneyland Resort in Summer 2019 and at Walt Disney World Resort in Fall 2019.<\/p>\n

\n

Don\u2019t miss an exhilarating journey into the galaxy as STAR WARS: GALAXY\u2019S EDGE #1 blasts into space this April! For more information, visit\u00a0StarWars.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
