In the Star Wars universe there's a 30 year gap between the end of Episode VI _ Return of the Jedi and Episode VII – The Force Awakens. While the evil Emperor Palpatine seemingly died at the end of Jedi (though we all know better than that now, for better and worse...), the Galactic Empire itself continued to be a threat for years afterwards until reaching its final defeat at the battle of Jakku, the desert planet where we first met Rey.
Marvel revealed a couple of months back that it would be telling the story of that cataclysmic conflict and now we have the full details. Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku will be told – appropriately enough – as a trilogy of limited series titled: Insurgency Rising, Republic Under Seige, and Last Stand. This epic saga will be written by Spider-Society writer Alex Segura and drawn by Leonard Kirk, Stefano Raffaele, Jethro Morales, and Luke Ross.
