Every saga has a beginning, and with 2024 marking a quarter of a century since George Lucas began exploring the first chapter of his Skywalker Saga with Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Marvel Comics has announced that it will celebrate the occasion with a 25th anniversary one-shot comic featuring an all-new story that expands upon the movie.
Written by Greg Pak (Star Wars: Darth Vader) with art from Will Sliney, the Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary Special promises to “explore the earliest days and secret inner life of ANAKIN SKYWALKER with never-before-seen, revelatory stories set before, after and between the scenes of the classic movie! Featuring the dream of a JEDI, the gift of a TUSKEN RAIDER, the heart of a GUNGAN, the ache of a mother and the horror of a hero!”
