The biannual Star Wars digest goes Ewoks in Return of the Jedi’s 30th year!
Dark Horse Comics is bringing some Yub Nub back into Star Wars comics with the upcoming Star Wars: Ewoks – Shadows of Endor digest, written and drawn by Zack Giallongo. Announced in the spring, and with more details revealed at Comic-Con, Shadows of Endor (DarkHorse.com profile) will come out in October, with a whopping 80-page story.
Now in an interview with Newsarama, Giallongo talks what we can expect in Ewoks: Shadows of Endor. Here’s some of the key points:
- He’s weaving together the Ewoks as depicted in Return of the Jedi, the Ewok TV movies, and the Ewoks animated series.
- Main cast will be the Ewok younglings: Wicket, Kneesaa, Latara, Paploo and Teebo
- As announced at Comic-Con, there will be Duloks! (the unfriendly rivals to the Ewoks from the cartoon series), as well as a monster, recently awakened by the Empire’s arrival on the forest moon
- Giallongo’s lifelong fascination with the natives of Endor and how he got the gig
Definitely check out the interview at Newsarama, as they also have several sample pages from the comic!
Ewoks: Shadows of Endor sounds like a great read for both kids and fans of the old Ewoks material! Stay tuned for my review when the book comes out in a few months!
