The official history of Star Wars is not only made up of the movies. The official novels and comics also tell things that become part of the mythology of the saga. And those comics have given fans some jaw-dropping moments. If you want to be stunned yourself with some revelations and events, these are some of the moments from the Star Wars comics that have caused the most shock.
Officially, we are talking about the Star Wars Expanded Universe , which Disney “rebooted” shortly before the premiere of the Force Awakens in 2015. For the comics part, of course, he entrusted the task to Marvel , of course.
But throughout the comics’ journey, they left us “unforgettable” moments like these.
Gungans turn to zombies
Jar Jar Binks is probably the most hated character in the series, a lack of affection that extends to his entire species of Gungans. So much so that in Star Wars Republic number 51 they have a pretty dire fate.
The separatists annihilate the species with a chemical weapon and, after the massacre, they turn into a species of zombies . We are not going to go into whether that is deserved or not.
Han Solo has a secret wife
The reboot that Marvel has given to the comics is not without plot lines, let’s say, curious.
One of the most incredible is, without a doubt, that Han Solo was married . In Star Wars number 6 of the new stage, a woman, named Sana Starros, appears claiming to be his wife. In fact, she introduces herself as Sana Solo.
As the action of the new Marvel comics unfolds on the time horizon of the first trilogy, this doesn’t sit well with Leia, obviously.
In the end, to the relief of the fans, who have had enough with the destruction they did to the character of Han in the movie Solo , it was all a montage between the two during a “work” together between Han and Sana Starros.
Darh Vader is much more powerful and dangerous than you imagine
The comic of the new batch that, probably, has turned out to be the most iconic, has undoubtedly been the series Vader: Demolished .
If it sounds like the movie Black Hawk: Knocked Down, you’re not wrong.
A Darth Vader in search of Luke (after learning that he is his son), crashes on a planet after a scuffle with several rebel fighters, which he calmly dispatches despite being vastly outnumbered. That yes, until Luke himself crashes his ship against him.
Leia, informed that Vader is alone and without allies, and furious at the destruction of her planet, amasses an enormous rebel force to finish him off at once.
The problem is that Vader is Vader and it does not matter if he is alone.
He resists every attack, every fight and every trap and dispatches everything that comes his way, until, finally, an imperial fleet appears that stops the massive assault against him.
In the end, everything can be summed up in this panel of the comic .
The final fireworks: an archaeologist named Indiana Jones discovers … The Millennium Falcon
In Star Wars Tales # 19, Han Solo and Chewie find their way to the Earth system. But the Millennium Falcon crashes into the jungle, Han dies of a crush, and Chewie lives wandering and being mistaken for Bigfoot .
Meanwhile, Han’s corpse and the remains of the ship are discovered by an intrepid archaeologist named… Indiana Jones.
In the end, it was not considered an official canon, but we leave you the moment to taste it …
