Star Wars: Sana Starros # 1 2023 NM-

Star Wars: Sana Starros #1, published by Marvel Comics on February 1, 2023, is titled "Family Matters, Part 1". Written by Justina Ireland and illustrated by Pere Pérez, this key issue marks the launch of a 5-issue miniseries centered on the fan-favorite space scoundrel.

Sana Starros—originally introduced in 2015 as Han Solo's surprise "wife"—became only the second Marvel-created Star Wars character to anchor a solo title, following in the footsteps of Doctor Aphra.

The Plot: "Family Matters"

• The Retreat: Chronologically set during the Imperial Era (around 3 ABY, between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi), the issue follows Sana reeling from a string of career disappointments and a messy breakup with her archaeologist ex, Doctor Aphra. Looking to lie low and clear her head, she retreats to her ancestral home on the Core world of Hosnian Prime.
• A Dysfunctional Family Reunion: Instead of finding a relaxing getaway, Sana walks directly into a den of familial chaos. The comic introduces the extended, high-society-turned-criminal Starros clan, including the protective matriarch "Grammy" Thea Starros, Sana's blunt Aunt Mevera, and her beautiful cousin Aryssha.
• The Imperial Complication: The family dynamics are deeply strained: Aryssha is pregnant and secretly married to an Imperial Officer, Captain Cerasus Ehllo. The calm dinner is abruptly shattered when Imperial Stormtroopers stage a violent raid on the homestead. 
• The Hidden Heist: While the Empire claims to be looking for rebellious elements, the raid exposes deep family secrets: the Starros clan has been actively plotting a high-stakes heist to steal back a priceless family heirloom that was confiscated by the Empire.
