With the relatively recent resurgence of this Star Wars film franchise, the property has been firmly implanted, yet again, in the general consciousness possibly unlike every other period in its historical 40-year history. The success of both The Force Awakens in addition to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story exemplifies how well embraced and regarded the franchise is and can be, even by the most casual of filmgoing audiences.
However, as hardcore Star Wars lovers can attest, the lore of this universe dives much deeper than the movie franchise could ever hope to. So, for people who want to receive background knowledge of familiar characters, discover new and exciting storylines, or just experience more adventures from inside the Star Wars universe, related reading material such as books and comics are made to meet your voracious requirements. And one comic book, in particular, has dedicated themselves to developing the next generation Star Wars readers.
As a part of this live stream of”The Star Wars Show” from Star Wars Celebration in Orlando the Editor-in-Chief in IDW publishing, Chris Ryall, discussed a brand-new comic series that will be specifically aimed at younger subscribers entitled: Star Wars Adventures. When asked how IDW’s comics would differentiate themselves out of Marvel run, Ryall had this to say:
For Your Editor-in-Chief at IDW, the focus of Star Wars Adventures is not to generate lore-centric experiences from within the universe, but rather cultivate a brand new audience of comic book readers, especially Star Wars comic readers. Following Ryall, earlier issues will be made to get readers comfortable and spent with some of the franchises’ familiar faces, permitting IDW to play around with lesser-known characters later on. All these”backup stories” will be hosted by Maz Kanata, who Ryall warns, is not necessarily the most reliable of narrators, not when it comes to supplying canonical tales.
Star Wars Adventures will headline a whole line of kid-friendly star Wars comics when it debuts this September.
