#STAR WARS REVAN COMICS SERIES#

вЂњThis is the Luke we met in our mindвЂ™s eye in 1991, and seeing it brings me right back to that exciting time.

вЂњThis is an opportunity to have a Black Series Luke action figure in a time period that he hasnвЂ™t appeared in as an action figure before, so thatвЂ™s a real landmark for me both as a member of Lucasfilm Publishing and as a Star Wars fan,вЂќ says Heddle. Inspired by the comic book adaptation (written by Mike Baron and illustrated by Olivier Vatine) of Timothy ZahnвЂ™s seminal novel, this Luke Skywalker figure depicts the Jedi five years after the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Luke Skywalker ( Star Wars: Heir to the Empire) вЂњWe selected these four based on fan appeal, and because they show the tremendous range and potential of our publishing program by representing comics and novels alike.вЂќ вЂњWith so many stories and fan-favorite characters to choose from, itвЂ™s a challenge to narrow down to just a few,вЂќ says Chris Gollaher, director of product design at Lucasfilm. Pulled from Legends tales and current storytelling, the heroes and villains chosen for plastic immortality form a true all-star wave: Luke Skywalker ( Star Wars: Heir to the Empire), Jaxxon (1970s Marvel Star Wars and IDW PublishingвЂ™s Star Wars Adventures), Darth Maul ( Star Wars: Darth Maul), and Kir Kanos* ( Star Wars: Crimson Empire). Fans are going to be so excited to see these comic book characters in a new way, especially when done with the incredible skill and detail the Black Series is famous for.вЂќ PublishingвЂ™s ability to create those kinds of memories is a driving force behind what I do, and to have Lucasfilm acknowledge that legacy in this way is absolutely thrilling. вЂњSeeing these figures takes me right back to memories of sitting on my bedroom floor, paging through the latest Star Wars comic, hardly able to believe I was reading original adventures about my favorite characters. вЂњIвЂ™ve been a fan of Star Wars comic books since the 1980s, so the very idea of having action figures based on Star Wars comics publishing is mind-blowing in the very best way,вЂќ she tells. And when word came down that Hasbro would honor that legacy for LucasfilmвЂ™s 50 th anniversary, bringing several characters to life in the popular 6-inch Star Wars The Black Series line, it held deep personal significance. A longtime reader of Star Wars books and comics long before she made it her career, she understands the importance of those stories better than most. Even Jennifer Heddle, executive editor of Lucasfilm Publishing, couldnвЂ™t believe it.
