The Screaming Citadel

Jason Aaron’s blockbuster run ends, and Kieron Gillen’s acclaimed era begins!

A rebel pilot and a rogue archaeologist delve side-by-side into the galaxy’s darkest shadows when Luke Skywalker reluctantly joins forces with Doctor Aphra! But will Luke find what he’s looking for in the heart of the infamous Screaming Citadel? Can he trust Aphra? Or will they both wind up victims of the Citadel’s queen? Plus: Luke finally gets the alone time he’s been after with Princess Leia — unfortunately, it comes while they’re stranded on a desert island! Meanwhile, Han and Chewie go back to smuggling...for a Hutt?! But the Empire has held C-3PO captive for far too long — and now his faithful friend, R2-D2, is riding to the rescue! And the Death Star left Jedha in ruins when it annihilated the Holy City.

Now, as Queen Trios’ forces move in to strip what’s left, the rebels struggle to preserve the planet for its survivors!
