A Marvel divulgou um comunicado confirmando que os novos seriados cômicos (Star Wars, Darth Vader, Léia, Han Solo) estão entre o final de Star Wars: Uma Nova Esperança e Star Wars: O Império Contra-Ataca. Isso os coloca firmemente entre 0ABY e 3ABY.
It’s very much a team book and we’ve got all the main players here. Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, the droids, and Darth Vader all get big moments in this first arc, and that’s our core cast going forward. I do want to be able to use Obi-Wan Kenobi. I’ve always liked the old Ben Kenobi version of Obi-Wan, so we will see him in some capacity.
Story wise, I think our book is driven in some big way by Luke and by the pretty interesting spot we find him in at this period in the timeline. You look at the gap between Episodes IV and V and there’s quite a bit that happens off screen that we get to explore.
Dito isso, no que diz respeito a Lando, sua ausência do primeiro filme de Guerra nas Estrelas parece dar-lhes latitude adicional. É certamente possível que os escritores possam voltar mais longe que 0ABY sem que sua história pessoal tenha impactado no canon principal. Eu suponho que, se o fizessem, deixariam claro na história real.
“Before Cloud City, before his glorious Death Star run,” continues Soule, “Lando Calrissian was just a man trying to make his way through an uncaring universe determined not to recognize that he was undeniably the coolest man in the galaxy. But Lando’s got a plan to change all that… and it starts with the deal of a lifetime.”
