Marvel Comics will publish a five-issue adaptation of the 2019 movie Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker five years after the limited series was originally announced. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation, by writer Jody Houser and artist Will Sliney, will launch on February 26, 2025, and the first issue will have a main cover by Phil Noto, variants by Jodie Muir and Brian Stelfreeze, and a movie variant.
The series, announced in February 2020 and canceled later that year, is a direct adaptation of the film The Rise of Skywalker, which was one of the top films of 2019 (see “‘Geek’ Movies Dominated in 2019”). Marvel’s next ongoing Star Wars series will be Star Wars: Legacy of Vader, which is set between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker (see “Kylo Ren Reckons with the Past in ‘Star Wars: Legacy of Vader’”).
