A chronological guide to (new) Star Wars Comics

Kanan: The Last Padawan

If you like the Rebels Series, then I think this does a great job in settling the stage of Kanan’s beginnings and character. You get a good appreciation of what happens after Order 66.

Chewbacca

After the battle of Yavin, Chewbacca is on his own when he crash lands his ship on an Imperial occupied planet. Now stranded, Chewie finds himself caught in the middle of trying to return to the rebellion and helping a young and feisty girl in need.

Princess Leia

After Episode IV, Princess Leia goes on a mission to save Alderaan survivors. 

Star Wars

The series skips around the timeline quite a bit, but it’s mostly set between Episode IV and V. It introduces some new characters that may or may not show up in The Force Awakens.

Darth Vader

The story from Vader’s perspective and leads to his understanding of who Luke is, as well as planting the seeds to what eventually happens in Episode V and VI. 

Lando

A glimpse of why Lando’s character is so interesting…and a look into the Jedi/Sith artifacts that Emperor Palpatine holds. 

Journey To The Force Awakens: Shattered Empire

This series is set days after Endor. Gives us a glimpse of Poe Dameron’s (from Episode VII) parents, and a look into Leia and Luke.
