Lucasfilm and Dark Horse Announce 'Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories — Mace' Graphic Novel

The Fall 2026 Dark Horse release deepens Mace Windu’s early-years canon in print without confirming any on-screen comeback.

Overview

  • Lucasfilm and Dark Horse, which announced the project Tuesday, set Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories — Mace for a Fall 2026 release.
  • New York Times bestselling author Justina Ireland writes the original graphic novel with interior art by Georges Duarte, additional art by PH Gomes, lettering by ComiCraft, and a cover by Michael Cho.
  • The story follows a young Mace Windu shortly after he becomes a Jedi Knight as a protection assignment turns into a rescue tied to a political conspiracy and the threat of civil war.
  • The publishers did not announce any live-action plans, and Samuel L. Jackson’s return as Mace Windu remains unconfirmed.
  • The project fits a wider Star Wars pattern of revisiting prequel-era icons across comics and animation, adding to Windu’s history from the films, The Clone Wars, and recent print titles.
