The Ewoks are back! The Ewoks are back! Marvel Comics is bringing back the Ewoks for a new mini-series from Steve Orlando, Alvaro Lopez, and Laura Braga.
A team of Imperial-led bounty hunters and scavengers arrive on the Forest Moon of Endor searching for a secret cache of Imperial weaponry! Are they prepared to face off against the battle-ready Ewoks who took down so many of their ranks? Who is the mysterious new warrior Ewok returning to Bright Tree village, and what is their connection to Wicket W. Warrick?
“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 in a press release from Marvel Comics. “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! 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 (of 4) arrives on October 9, 2024.
