If you're getting all burned out on new faces to remember, Jason Aaron, writer for the new book has good news for you, "Every story is about the characters, and we'll focus on all the old favorites. There will be big moments for everyone, from Han to R2-D2. But a major part of the narrative will be driven by Luke Skywalker and his journey of discovery, a journey that will decide the fate of the entire galaxy."
That's right, the comic series focuses on the main group that most people fell in love with. The series begins directly after the first Death Star is destroyed and follows Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2, and C-3PO during the next battles for liberation between the Rebel Alliance and the Empire.
