At New York Comic Con in October 2019, Lucasfilm and Marvel announced the main "Star Wars" title would relaunch with a new ongoing series beginning in January 2020. Written by Soule, the flagship series will explore the time between "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi". It will expand on stories like how the demoralized ragtag band of rebels grows into the massive fleet that attacks the second Death Star, how the plan to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt is formed, how Leia balances her personal desires to save Han with her responsibilities to the Rebellion, Luke's growth as a Jedi while coming to an understanding of Darth Vader's reveal of his heritage, and the evolution of Lando Calrissian from selfish betrayer to trusted general.
