Star Wars # 1 (2025), published by Marvel Comics on May 7, 2025, launches a new era for the flagship series set after the events of Return of the Jedi. 

Written by Alex Segura with art by Phil Noto, the story takes place roughly two years after the Battle of Endor (approx. 6 ABY), following the final conclusion of the Galactic Civil War at the Battle of Jakku. With the Empire fallen, a power vacuum has emerged, leading to the rise of pirates and mercenaries.

• Princess Leia Organa: Grapples with the political challenges of building the New Republic. She faces opposition from a new alliance of planets in the Fenril sector that rejects the New Republic's authority.
• Han Solo: Investigates a deadly underworld mystery involving the Zantarrk Gang. He reunites with his old academy friend, the bounty hunter Beilert Valance, to help the New Republic.
