- Finally, a four-issue Marvel mini-series will release in December by Charles Soule, titled Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren
As just announced, I am writing THE RISE OF KYLO REN – a limited series comic launching in December, just before Episode IX.
You know the one story everyone’s dying to see, about Kylo and the Knights of Ren? That’s this.

We also received confirmation that Timothy Zhan’s Thrawn: Treason does indeed take place during season 4 of Star Wars: Rebels. And for fans eagerly waiting a print version of the Count Dooku audiobook—Dooku: Jedi Lost—it will hit shelves on October 1.
So much to look forward to, Star Wars fans! Get ready for the road to Episode IX…
