Star Wars Storms of Crait Promises to Connect Original Trilogy with The Last Jedi

Marvel will be releasing a new Star Wars one-shot called Storms of Crait which promises to connect the original trilogy with the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Storms of Crait will be a prequel of sorts as the planet will serve as a location in the seventh Star Wars movie. Take note though, this isn’t the first time the planet has been featured in comics. Princess Leia had an adventure in this planet in her miniseries some time back.

For this visit, she’s brought along her brother Luke Skywalker for the ride in the hopes of finding a new base for the rebellion as they continue to fight the Empire.

Fans can then revisit Crait after Storms of Crait in “Last Jedi” as the planet becomes a battlefield for the Resistance and the First Order.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Storms of Crait # 1 will be written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker with art by Mike Mayhew. It will be released in stores December 27 while the film directed by Rian Johnson will be released in cinemas December 15.
