41 Years Later, Star Wars Is Finally Filling in Its Most Interesting Canon Gap

Marvel/Lucasfilm

What happened right after the Empire was defeated at the Battle of Endor? The celebrations at the end of Return of the Jedi tell one story: the entire Star Wars galaxy changed in an instant, and nothing was the same anymore. But, realistically, nothing would have changed that fast on a scale so vast. And the details of the direct aftermath of Return of the Jedi have been one of the most interesting moments in Star Wars canon, a moment that now, is getting more scrutiny and space than ever before.

As a direct sequel to Return of the Jedi, a new Marvel comics series, Star Wars: The Battle Of Jakku — Insurgency Rising, picks up the story of the Rebellion just hours after the decisive victory at Endor. As fireworks light up the skies of various worlds, this series tells a very different story, one that Star Wars fans have been looking forward to for a long time.
