I’ve seen Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace more times than I’m comfortable admitting, and I’m pretty sure Anakin doesn’t run round with a yellow lightsaber in it. And but, in Marvel’s new comedian, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace twenty fifth Anniversary Particular #1 popping out Could 1, that’s precisely what’ll occur.
Written by Greg Pak, that includes artwork by Will Sliney and a canopy by Phil Noto, the comedian will retell the story of The Phantom Menace wholly from Anakin’s perspective. So, bear in mind when he tells Qui-Gon and pals he had a dream that he was a Jedi? Nicely, now we get to see it…
It will need to have been fairly thrilling for Pak and Sliney to create a complete new Anakin search for the dream, and, we’d think about, have just a few Q&A periods with the Lucasfilm Story Group to okay the usage of a yellow lightsaber. Then once more, it’s a dream, proper? So none of that actually issues. It’s solely canon in Anakin’s thoughts. (The truth is, perhaps the yellow was the Power foreshadowing another Skywalker who would ignite a yellow saber on Tatooine in, oh, about 60 years sooner or later.)
“I used to be eight when A New Hope got here out, so for my adolescence, Star Wars was synonymous with the unique trilogy,” Pak informed StarWars.com. “However I delved deep into the prequels after I got here on board as the author of Marvel’s Darth Vader comics, watching and rewatching all of them. And I discovered myself dazzled by the lengthy sport George Lucas was taking part in in laying out the tragedy of Darth Vader. It’s been an absolute thrill to contribute to that legacy by revisiting The Phantom Menace with new scenes from the perspective of younger Anakin.”
Right here’s the duvet of the problem, by Phil Noto.
