The Star Wars #7 (2014) draws readers deeper into the sweeping narrative of a galaxy envisioned before the saga we know took form. Based on George Lucas’ original 1974 screenplay, this issue—published by Dark Horse Comics—continues the alternate telling of Star Wars with powerful developments, intense confrontations, and dramatic shifts in the fate of its characters.

Written by J. W. Rinzler and exquisitely illustrated by Mike Mayhew, this instalment sees Annikin Starkiller, the fiery young Jedi apprentice, push closer toward fulfilling a destiny shaped by war, prophecy, and resistance. Alongside the wise and battle-hardened General Luke Skywalker and the fearless Princess Leia of Aquilae, he faces growing threats from the oppressive New Galactic Empire and the menacing influence of Darth Vader, who in this telling is far removed from the figure audiences would later come to know.

The Star Wars #7 is packed with emotional depth and political intrigue. As the Rebels confront betrayal and loss, long-hidden truths surface, reshaping their understanding of the conflict and of themselves. The story also explores the philosophy of the Jedi Bendu, offering a different spiritual grounding than the familiar Jedi Order. These layers enrich the mythology and provide fresh context for Lucas’s early creative intentions.

Mike Mayhew’s art continues to impress with vivid, painterly realism that makes each world, spacecraft, and character come alive on the page. His distinctive style pays homage to the retro-futuristic design language of 1970s sci-fi, while delivering modern visual clarity and narrative impact.

This issue is essential for fans of Star Wars history, collectors of rare and alternative canon, or anyone fascinated by the genesis of one of pop culture’s greatest epics. The Star Wars #7 reveals how the foundations of the saga were laid—rich with world-building, unexpected character arcs, and mythic undertones that still resonate.
