The Ewoks return to Marvel almost forty years after their own Star Comics series in a four-issue mini series written by Steve Orlando, drawn by Álvaro López and Laura Braga and wrapped in a newsstand cover by Pete Woods, and here Orlando explains just what it was that drew him back four decades to the forest moon of Endor and these diminutive warriors.
“Forty years of Ewoks! Sometimes, a lot of the times, this job is just a dream—and for someone who grew up watching Return of the Jedi after every single Sunday Ski Trip, getting the chance to celebrate them and explore their world in the aftermath of the second Death Star’s fall is truly beyond belief,” Orlando shared. “When I was young, the Ewoks got me in the door—Wicket was my hero, a young hero like me (like I was back then) going on adventures with Princess Leia herself!”
“Now, as an adult, it’s an honor to challenge Wicket and bring all-new Ewoks to Bright Tree Village—but not just that!” he continued. “There’s a lot more to Endor that we’ll be seeing for the first time since the Ewoks animated series—this is a powerful world, a powerful ecosystem, and we’ll be exploring it like never before! Join us for a caper like no other as Wicket races against time to outwit a dangerous crew of Imperial Thieves and save the Forest Moon!”
Star Wars: Ewoks #1 arrives in stores Wednesday 9th October 2024.
