Return to Tatooine ahead of the 50th anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope in this all-new graphic novel by comics legend Greg Pak! Encounter womp rats, T-16s, krayt dragons, and more in this action-packed adventure.
Like most kids his age, Luke Skywalker longs for adventure, but growing up on the distant desert planet of Tatooine, he feels more than a little stuck. And with Luke’s best friend, Biggs Darklighter, already daydreaming about leaving to enroll in the Imperial Academy, Luke feels like he’s sinking into a Sarlacc Pit! So he decides it’s time to embark on an unforgettable summer adventure of his own and brave the legendary Beggar’s Canyon!
Some Tatooine locals say Beggar’s Canyon is haunted by terrifying spirits. Others say it’s home to ferocious beasts. Luke, Biggs, and their friends are determined to conquer this mysterious abyss. But will they discover the truth behind the tall tales, or be lost in the harsh desert sands forever?!
“I’m thrilled to be writing more Star Wars and especially to be working with artist Brent Schoonover and editor Charles Beacham, who are just killing it!” shares Star Wars comic writer, Greg Pak. “We’ve got a great Luke story on tap exploring a key moment in his young life – with aching teenaged loneliness under the twin suns of Tatooine, an eerie adventure in the depths of Beggar’s Canyon, and a rare study of Luke’s relationship with his seldom-seen childhood friends and enemies. Big fun, big emotions, and gorgeous art! Dontcha dare miss it!”
“Getting the honor to draw a Star Wars story is a bucket list project for me,” adds illustrator Brent Schoonover. “The story Greg has written is wonderful for lifelong fans, while also being the perfect entry for those who have always wanted to get into a galaxy far, far away. I can’t wait to share it with everyone!”
