“The Jedi cannot help who they are. Their compassion leaves a trail.”

The Grand Inquisitor’s words in Obi-Wan Kenobi form the cold heart of Marvel’s upcoming Star Wars: Inquisitors, which StarWars.com is excited to reveal. A new miniseries kicking off July 3 from writer Rodney Barnes and artist Ramon Rosanas, Inquisitors follows the Empire’s Jedi hunters as they narrow in on a new target: Tensu Run, a survivor of Order 66 looking to spread hope and rebuild the Jedi Order. He has won the attention of Darth Vader, who is determined to have Tensu killed at any cost. Check out Nick Bradshaw’s cover for issue #1, along with variants by Alex Maleev and the legendary Walt Simonson, in the gallery below.

“It’s such an honor to be writing the very first Inquisitors solo story!” Barnes tells StarWars.com. “I love this time period of Star Wars lore because it’s the one I grew up on — when Darth Vader and the Empire were imposing their will on the entire galaxy. Plus, I got to create an all-new legendary Jedi with Tensu Run! Truly the best of times!”

Inquisitors, first introduced in Star Wars Rebels, have become a key component of Star Wars storytelling in the period between the prequel and original trilogies. Trained by Darth Vader, these Force wielders track and destroy Jedi across the galaxy in the name of the Empire, and have appeared in series, video games, and beyond.
