Marvel Sets 'Galaxy’s Edge — Echoes of the Empire' Miniseries for April as Disneyland Preps Timeline Shift

The five-issue series functions as an in-universe prelude to original-trilogy characters appearing on Batuu at Disneyland.

Overview

  • Issue #1 arrives April 22, 2026, written by Ethan Sacks with art by Jethro Morales and Roi Mercado and a main cover by Phil Noto.
  • Marvel’s synopsis sends Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Chewbacca to Batuu in search of intel that leads to a perilous relic and a clash with the Empire.
  • Variant covers include Darth Vader by Leinil Francis Yu featuring the TIE Echelon reclassified to the Imperial era and a Grogu piece by E. M. Gist.
  • Grogu is not expected to appear in the story, with his variant positioned as promotional art tied to May’s The Mandalorian and Grogu film.
  • The comic precedes Disneyland’s April 29 expansion of Galaxy’s Edge to earlier eras, a change that applies only to the Anaheim park.
