Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures–The Training Sessions

In a galaxy far, far away, three Jedi younglings travel the stars in search of adventure….

Follow Kai Brightstar, Lys Solay, and Nubs as they set off on missions across the galaxy to learn the ways of the Force! Aboard the Crimson Firehawk — piloted by their friend, Nash Durango, and her trusty droid companion RJ-83 — the younglings seek out new missions and challenges that require their Jedi skills!

In this volume, Kai, Lys, and Nubs race Wookiees to climb the tallest trees on Kashyyyk; Nubs and Jedi padawan Qort rush to rescue a Republic ship from disaster; and the younglings go on a scavenger hunt in a stinky swamp full of monsters!

Join acclaimed writers Dave Scheidt, author of children’s comics like Mayor Good Boy and Wrapped Up, and Daniel José Older, a New York Times bestselling-author and a lead story architect of Star Wars: The High Republic, along with iconic artist Andy Duggan (Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories, Star Wars: Tales from the Rancor Pit) for this thrilling new installment of Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures!

Writers: Dave Scheidt and Daniel José Older
Artist: Andy Duggan
Colorist: Dan Jackson
Letterer: Comicraft
Cover artist: Andy Duggan
Publication date: Dec. 9, 2025
ISBN-10: 1506747825
ISBN-13: 9781506747828

The galaxy’s youngest heroes made their jump from screen to page with last year’s release of Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures–The Training Sessions. This 48-page hardcover collection offers a perfect entry point for younger fans to enter the Star Wars galaxy and follow the exploits of Kai, Lys, and Nubs as they navigate their Jedi training.

The creative team behind this volume includes writers Dave Scheidt and Daniel Jose Older, alongside artist Andy Duggan, colorist Dan Jackson, and letterers Comicraft. The book compiles the previously released Free Comic Book Day stories “Scavenger Hunt” and “Sky Parade Rescue,” while adding an all-new adventure titled “The Trees of Kashyyyk“. In it, guided by Master Yoda and Padawan Burryaga, the younglings face everything from Wookiee-led climbing challenges to monster-filled swamp rescues.

The collection is a quick, fun read that captures the vibrant visual style and lighthearted atmosphere of the Disney+ animated series flawlessly. The creators have done an excellent job translating the show’s charm onto the page. However, the format is a bit of a double-edged sword; while the almost pocket-sized hardcover is convenient, the small font size may prove challenging for some young readers, and at times the artwork feels cramped. The format feels reminiscent of the Dark Horse Clone Wars digests from two decades ago.

Despite its compact size, adult fans may want to check this title out and completionists certainly shouldn’t overlook it. The stories are firmly set within the High Republic era and the book features notable guest appearances from beloved characters such as Burryaga Agaburry, Qort, Farzala Tarabal, and Lula Talisola. Great for sharing with your younglings!
