The official history of Star Wars It's not just 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 delivered some jaw-dropping moments for fans. If you also want to stay stunned with some revelations and events, these are some the moments of the Star Wars comics that most shock have caused.
Officially, we are talking about the Star Wars Expanded Universe, which Disney "rebooted" shortly before the premiere of the force awakening in 2015. For the comics part, of course, entrusted the task to Marvel, of course.
But throughout the history of comics, we were left with "unforgettable" moments like these.
Gungans turn zombies
Jar Jar Binks is probably the most hated character in the series, a lack of affection that extends to his entire Gungan species. So much so that in Star Wars Republic number 51 have a rather dire fate.
separatists they annihilate the species with a chemical weapon and, after the massacre, they turn into some kind 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, shall we say, curious.
One of the most incredible is, without a doubt, that Han Solo was married. En el 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 takes place on the time horizon of the first trilogy, this obviously doesn't sit well with Leia.
In the end, much to the relief of the fans, who had enough with the destruction that was done to the character of Han in the film. Solo, It was all a setup between the two of them during a "job" shared by Han and Sana Starros.
Darh Vader is much more powerful and dangerous than you imagine
The new batch of comics that has probably been the most iconic has undoubtedly been Series Vader: Shot Down.
If it sounds like the movie to you Black Hawk: Shot down, you are not wrong.
A Darth Vader looking for Luke (having learned that he is his son), crashes on a planet after a skirmish with several rebel fighters, which quietly dispatch despite being enormously outnumbered. Of course, 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, amass a massive rebel force to finish him off at once.
The problem is that Vader is Vader and it doesn't matter if he's alone.
He resists every attack, every fight, and every trap, dispatching everything that comes his way, until, finally, an Imperial fleet appears and stops the massive assault against him.
In the end, everything can be summed up in this comic panel.
The final firecracker: an archaeologist named Indiana Jones discovers… The Millennium Falcon
En Star Wars Tales issue 19, Han Solo and Chewie find their way to the Earth system. But the Millennium Falcon crashes in the jungle, Han dies of a crush, and Chewie lives wandering and being mistaken for the Falcon. 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 official canon, but we leave you the moment for you to savor it...
