While guests will have wait until Fall of 2019 to visit Disneyland’s new Star Wars themed areas, the journey to Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu begins in April, in print form anyway. Marvel Comics announced yesterday that a mini-series based on Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge will be released in April. The story will focus on an Ithorian trader Doc-Ondar and will take place in and around Black Spire Outpost which is the setting for the upcoming Star Wars themed areas for Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida.
While Marvel is tight lipped about the story, writer Ethan Sacks, in an interview with StarWars.com, provided some detail about what access the team had to Disney Imagineering and how it impacted the story:
Our series will give fans the chance to visit Black Spire Outpost months ahead of voyaging to Batuu in person. Armed with top-secret sketches and information from Walt Disney Imagineering and Lucasfilm, we are keeping this authentic to the spirit of this rich new setting. I’d tell you more, but I already have the death sentence on 12 systems….
