We’ve not even arrived at the first episode yet but news arrives tonight that once the season has ended, Marvel Comics will be adding to the mythos with a one-shot written by Cavan Scott that will focus on wookiee Jedi Kelnacca. Star Wars: The Acolyte – Kelnacca #1 will arrive on Wednesday 4th September with newsstand cover by Phil Noto and variant covers by Björn Barends and Takashi Okazaki.
io9 is excited to exclusively announce that Star Wars: The Acolyte – Kelnacca #1 is coming on September 4. It’s a one-shot written by Cavan Scott with art by Marika Cresta and will bridge the gap between The High Republic novels and comics to The Acolyte itself.
“It’s been so exciting to draw a line from The Acolyte back to The High Republic era we’ve been building in comics, books, audio and animation,” Scott told io9. “Kelnacca is the perfect character to bridge the gap between the time of Leslye Headland’s spectacular series to the age of Starlight Beacon, the threat of Marchion Ro, and the marauding Nihil. In this comic, we will learn more about one of the most intriguing aspects of Kelnacca’s design: the meaning behind those mysterious tattoos. Along the way we’ll see the struggle of a Padawan and a master who is stoic, wise, and, ultimately, a true practitioner of Light and Life.”
