Lucasfilm is teaming up with Mad Cave Studios to deliver all-ages Star Wars comic books this fall.

The first story, Star Wars - Smugglers and Scoundrels: The Race For Jabba’s Bounty, will focus on Han and Chewy racing against Jaxxon T. Tumperakki to bring an artifact to Jabba the Hutt. Writer Cavan Scott explains his inspiration: “Jaxxon is Star Wars’ great underdog…well, under-rabbit. Doomed never to be taken seriously by his fellow scoundrels, the Lepi smuggler was one of the very first characters I ever experienced in Star Wars, long before I saw the films.” The comic includes art by Christian Colbert and will be released on September 15, 2026.

The other comic Star Wars - Tales from the Outer Rim: The Legend of Beggar’s Canyon will explore the adventures of a teenage Luke Skywalker and his best friend Biggs Darklighter.

Writer Greg Pak shared his enthusiasm: “We’ve got a great Luke story on tap exploring a key moment in his young life – with aching teenaged loneliness under the twin suns of Tatooine, an adventure in the depths of Beggar’s Canyon, and a rare study of Luke’s relationship with his seldom-seen childhood friends and enemies. Big fun, big emotions, and gorgeous art!” The art is provided by Brent Schoonover, and the comic will be available on October 13, 2026. Both comics are aimed at middle grade readers.
