Star Wars 1 is the first issue of the Marvel comic book series Star Wars and the first of six issues in the series' first story arc, Skywalker Strikes. The comic takes place between the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and features all of the major characters from the original film. It is written by Jason Aaron, with artwork by John Cassaday and was released on January 14, 2015.
Star Wars 1 shows the beginnings of a Rebel Alliance assault on the moon Cymoon 1. The Rebels—Han Solo, Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, R2-D2, and C-3PO—infiltrate and intend to destroy a weapons factory, but their plans change upon the arrival of Darth Vader—whom Skywalker intends to fight, still believing that the Dark Lord of the Sith killed his father.
It marked the start of Marvel's new slew of Star Wars titles, which also included Star Wars: Darth Vader, Star Wars: Princess Leia, Star Wars: Kanan, and many others.
