It ’s a report being told by author Kieron Gillen and creative person Salvador Larroca in Marvel ’s main , in - canonStar Warscomic series . So far the cartoon strip have fill up in the gaps in the pic serial publication ' prequels and sequels , offeringnew twists to characters like Darth Vaderand the Emperor . But now , the movie trio of zep have found their way back to Jedha to see the devastation induce by Orson Krennic ’s superweapon .

Which meansStar Warsfans who thoughtRogue One ’s story was over are in for a goody .

The Destruction of Jedha, as Seen in Rogue One

At first , some believe thatRogue Onewould be limited creatively - secern a news report that everyone already make love the movement and result of - but those tactile sensation changed with the creation of Jedha . A small desert lunation far off the beaten trail of the wandflower far , far away that hold one of the universe ’s greatest secrets . The small-scale rock was n’t just the beginning of the mystical Kyber Crystals that power the lightsabers of the Jedi Knights … it was hold as the apparitional birthplace of the Jedi Order . Which is what made it such a tragedy when Grand Moff Tarkin and Orson Krennic used Jedha as the first demonstration of the Death Star , longbefore the annihilation of Alderaan service its political purpose .

That ’s what viewers ofRogue Onegot to witness , as the regal battle station discharge a shot stand for specifically for JedhaCity , also known as NiJedha . The superlaser wound up being far more powerful than they forecast , apparently , as the explosion did n’t just eject a monumental good time of matter well beyond Jedha ’s atmoshpere , but spread tens , hundredsof air mile out from the Holy City . The ancient and hero-worship Temple of the Kyber was disintegrated first , before destruction disseminate to the base of Saw Gerrera , an crucial resistance figure who had been drive to … ' uttermost ' methods . All was erased , all was cut down to detritus , with no reasonableness to cogitate that Jedha would continue as anything but a idle rock - and a monitor of its function in a famous galactic dangerous undertaking .

Until the arrival ofStar Wars#38 , which shows Jedhaafterthe consequence ofRogue One - still run as a moon and an authoritative resource for the Galactic Empire … and Rebels .

Luke, Leia & Han Return To Jedha

The event ofRogue Oneand noesis of what comes next in theStar Warsstory may make the future of Jedha seem irrelevant . After all , the Empire ’s plan to rub out platter of their presence succeeded when they destroyed Jedha City . The Kyber Crystals needed to create the Death Star have been gathered . And there ’s no motive for more , since the Jedi have been purge . But the Issue reveals - through the middle of Luke , Leia , and Han - that Jedha yet live . Though permanently marked by the destruction work by even a single - reactor pellet from the Death Star . If Jedha was uncongenial to life before , then those who remain living on the moon while it vents toxic gases through spreading rifts are even leisurely to look up to .

Gillen and Larroca do n’t just reveal the substantial fate of Jedha , but the members of the ramshackle resistance fly purple forces on the scorched surface of the moon . Among them is Chulco Gi , an wishful Disciple of the Whills , keepers of the ancient , almostpre - Jedi students of The Force . Also , Ubin Des , a Rebel who fought at the Battle of Yavin but pretermit being wiped out on Scariff ( also shown inRogue One ) . And … that ’s about it . Still , two fresh characters in theStar Warsmythology that get a lot more significant when they ’re gathered up by Han Solo , Leia Organa , and Luke Skywalker - aboard the Millennium Falcon , no less . The trio of heroes have do in search of the remains of Saw Gerrera ’s ' Partisans , ' prompt to make certain that all sides of Imperial insurrectionist can be link into atruealliance . And from the starting signal , it ’s obvious that the Rebel Alliance is better off once Leia becomes a lead penis ( and once Saw Gerrera himself is removed from the equation ) .

Even though her plan to get herself , Luke , and Han into contact with the Partisans who survivedRogue Onehas them at a disadvantage almost immediately . Thank goodness it ’s a familiar look they meet .

Saw Gerrera’s Resistance Isn’t Finished Yet

It ’s Leia ’s plan to have Chulco and Ubin , both familiar with Jedha ’s on-going electrical resistance , transport the three heroes to the Partisan leadership in the same way they would have for those seeking to meet Saw . In short : on their knees , shackled , with bags over their heads . That is where Issue # 38 leaves them , hoping that thenewleader of the Partisans is a number more understanding ( or challenging ) than his former master . That pattern would be Benthic , the Tognath soldier of fortune affectionately referred to as " Two Tubes " byStar Warsfans before ofRogue One ’s freeing , and who made an unforgettable appearance in the motion picture ’s first act . Here ’s hoping that Leia will be a bit more in effect in her mission than Bodhi Rook .

Time is n’t on Luke , Leia , and Han ’s side , despite the impression that affair on Jedha could n’t get much worse . The moon ’s story within the Empire ’s reach is n’t over yet , either . The " ash of Jedha " narrative will include new characters and mythology for the villains ' side of thing , as the Empire is still very much in indigence of the invaluable Kyber Crystals found only on the now burned - out stubble of Jedha . It ’s an impossible operation to make and run , but one which falls to two novel histrion in the main story ofStar warfare : Commander Kanchar , an Imperial Officer who announces his takeover of the Jedha surgical process by crushing the skull of his predecessor with his automaton arm . And Queen Trios of the major planet Shu - Torun , a character recently insert in Gillen’sDarth Vaderseries who establish Princess Amidala seem like a pushover .

What ’s next for Jedha and the survivingRogue Onecharacters ? Whatever it is , it seems well tie to the original film ’s heroes . If we ca n’t get a moving picture follow - up , then that ’s one heck of a consolation dirty money .
