Written by Cavan Scott, with art by Dead Seas collaborator Nick Brokenshire, Juan Samu, Andy Duggan and Rafael Pérez, Star Wars: Tales from the Rancor Pit is heading our way 20th December and Scott and the four artists all discuss their delight at being involved with this spiritual successor to the long-running Vader’s castle series as we hallo-wing our way across the galaxy to Tatooine and the palace of Jabba the Hutt.
Writer Cavan Scott could think of no better setting to incorporate the fear factor of his previous titles and his affinity for the creatures and aliens of the original trilogy. Styled after the 1960s-era portmanteaus from Amicus Productions and other horror movie houses, the first Star Wars Halloween one-shot from Dark Horse departs from Mustafar for the second scariest place in the galaxy: the Dune Sea of Tatooine.
“There’s a sort of a Pit and the Pendulum type thing going on there as well,” Scott tells StarWars.com, although his main reason for the new locale was purely from his love of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. “We’ve been to Vader’s castle a lot in the last few years. And any chance to do anything Return of the Jedi I will take!”
This year’s terrifying trifecta of tales includes a framing story illustrated by Nick Brokenshire as well as individual stories from three distinct eras of storytelling drawn by three different artists.
Exploring the galaxy since 1978, Mark wrote his first fan fiction in 1981 and been a presence online since his first webpage Fanta War in 1996. He's contributed to Star Wars Insider (since '06) and Starburst Magazine (since '16) as well as ILM.com, SkywalkerSound.com, StarWars.com, Star Wars Encyclopedia, Build The Millennium Falcon, Geeky Monkey, TV Film Memorabilia, Model and Collectors Mart, Star Trek magazine and StarTrek.com. He is a four-time Star Wars Celebration Stage host, the only podcaster to have appeared on every Celebration podcast stage since the stage began in 2015, the Daily Content Manager of Fantha Tracks and the co-host of Making Tracks, Canon Fodder and Start Your Engines on Fantha Tracks Radio.
