In addition to the main trio, Issue #1’s variant cover features Beilert Valance from Bounty Hunters with the series promising even more fan favorites the story evolves
Deep dive:
Segura spoke with StarWars.com about the accessibility of the new series saying that it will have “an eye toward making sure people can jump in easily and with any issue”
Noto has previously drawn a number of covers for Star Wars (2020), The High Republic, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and more, but this series marks his first return to regular Star Wars interior art since his work with Charles Soule on Poe Dameron
The Battle of Jakku concludes tomorrow with The Last Stand #4.
