Star Wars Insider #220 represents the 198th installment of the Star Wars Insider magazine series, brought to you by Titan Magazines. Its release date was August 15, 2023.
A long, long time ago, discussions surrounding Return of the Jedi (released in 1983) were solely focused on the movie itself. However, in today's landscape, it appears that Jedi are making comebacks left and right!
We initially witnessed Luke Skywalker battling adversaries before mentoring a small, green pupil in Star Wars: The Mandalorian. Subsequently, Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi provided further context to the eccentric wizard's years of solitude. Now, Star Wars: Ahsoka reintroduces another former Jedi to the fray, with Rosario Dawson headlining the new series on Disney+.
Within the pages of this Insider edition, we engage in conversation with the live-action Ahsoka Tano and the actor's enthusiasm for portraying the beloved character is evident. Additionally, we connect with comic-book icon Walt Simonson, responsible for writing and/or illustrating some of the most unforgettable Star Wars narratives in the original Marvel Comics series. Furthermore, we rendezvous with The High Republic author Lydia Kang, who will soon contribute Phase III short stories to this very publication!
Speaking of short stories, this issue marks the commencement of a trilogy centered around the events of Return of the Jedi, initiating with a poignant tale of profound loss amidst joyous triumph, penned by acclaimed Star Wars author Alexander Freed.
Discover all of this, and a great deal more, within the pages of Insider #220!
