NYCC 2024: All the Star Wars News and Reveals from New York Comic-Con

7. And we’re getting more news from Nihil space. In a first look inside issues of Dispatches from the Occlusion Zone, Cavan Scott, Daniel José Older, and Alyssa Wong shared pages and insights from their trio of tales. We have an all-new story of Ty Yorrick from Scott, Older has Jedi detective Emerick Caphtor teaming up with Nihil scientist Niv Drendow (you read that right), and Wong’s features a cat-and-mouse story of Driggit and Ruu. Wong will also soon pen a Battle of Eriadu one-shot comic.

8. Justina Ireland will bring Vern to The High Republic Adventures. The first look inside shows us a mission set in the days before the nefarious Nihil, in which Padawan Vernestra Rwoh learns a valuable lesson from Master Stellan Gios.

9. Cavan Scott revealed art from his story in The High Republic Adventures Annual and Vader’s Castle: The Deluxe Library Collection. Inside Scott’s terrifying tales, sketches show works in progress for various individual issue covers. Plus, his newest High Republic story follows mad scientist Baron Boolan.

10. The Jedi Knights of The High Republic take the battle to the Nihil and the Nameless! Avar Kriss, Azlin Rell, Bell Zettifar, Burryaga the Wookiee, and Elzar Mann stand ready to fight as the Trials of the Jedi continue!

11. The Jedi are under attack in A Valiant Vow. Author Justina Ireland’s next Star Wars middle grade book shows the Jedi coming up against lots and lots (and we mean way too many for comfort) of Nihil scav-droids. It also features the return of fan-favorite characters Imri Cantaros and Tep Tep!

12. And Claudia Gray’s Into the Light mirrors her first YA book in the series Into the Dark. On the cover Reath Silas faces off against the all-consuming blight…on Kashyyyk? (If we could make a sad Wookiee howl, we would.)

13. But that’s not the last we’ve heard of the era (or the Yord Horde). The just-released cover for Tessa Gratton’s YA novel The Crystal Crown is set toward the end of the High Republic reuniting fans with Padawan Jecki Lon and Jedi Knight Yord Fandar from Star Wars: The Acolyte.

14. Kelnacca and friends are joining the fray in comics. And Marvel unveiled the cover art for Star Wars: The High Republic (2025) issue #2 featuring Lourna Dee, looking like she might’ve returned to her old Tempest Runner ways.

15. A dance to the death? Ahead of Random House World’s audio original novel, Tempest Breaker, written by Cavan Scott, new art was revealed showing Marchion Ro and Lourna Dee in a terrifying tango.

16. Marc Guggenheim will helm a new series focused on Jedi Knights. Marvel’s Star Wars: Jedi Knights explores the Jedi Knights of the prequel era! Set prior to the events of Episode I. Guggenheim unveiled the covers for issue #1 featuring some of the Jedi from the series. We’re talking Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, Yoda, and more!

17. Lydia Kang will continue writing short stories for Star Wars Insider. The new Battle of Eriadu stories will take fans back to the planet at the heart of The High Republic Adventures (2023) starring Republic Defense Coalition members Joss Arden and a very pregnant Pikka Arden. We’re sure nothing will go wrong. Right?

18. And in other Dark Horse news… Charles Soule and Zoraida Córdova revealed art from their entries in Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures Annual coming from Dark Horse. Soule will return to the characters from the Jedi Brave in Every Way picture book he penned with his daughter, while Córdova can’t get enough of Churo the Hutt! (Honestly, same.)
