Star Wars Kids 2, the second installment of the Star Wars Kids periodical, hit shelves in October of 1997 under the Scholastic banner. Within its pages, readers found the second part of the serialized comic The Rebel Thief, penned by Ryder Windham.
Star Wars Kids 2 was specifically offered to those who subscribed to Scholastic's Star Wars Missions series for young readers and its accompanying roleplaying game. These subscribers received monthly installments directly through the mail, which included a new Star Wars Kids magazine and the newest Star Wars Missions adventure book. Star Wars Kids 2 was bundled alongside the game's second adventure book, Escape from Thyferra.
