'Star Wars: Legacy of Vader' follows Kylo Ren between 'The Last Jedi' and 'Rise of Skywalker'

Comic book cover of Star Wars: Legacy of Vader. Kylo Ren, an angry man with black chin-length hair, is striding forwards. He is wearing a black tunic, black belt, and a flowing black cape.

No matter what your stance on the Star Wars sequels is, you have to admit that Adam Driver's Kylo Ren (aka Ben Solo) was a clear highlight of not just those movies, but the Skywalker Saga as a whole. Now, Lucasfilm and Marvel are planning to capitalize on that with Star Wars: Legacy of Vader.

After The Rise of Skywalker didn't give him the greatest send-off (though he remained one of the movie's strongest pieces), many fans have been asking for years for an exploration of his (short) tenure as the Supreme Leader of the First Order. Starting on February 5, 2025, a new ongoing comic book series penned by Star Wars veteran Charles Soule – one of the best writers currently working on the franchise – and drawn by Luke Ross will show us how Vader's heir dealt with his complicated legacy as the nefarious First Order expanded across the galaxy.
