Star Wars: Princess Leia
In the days after the Battle of Yavin, Leia Organa refuses to be kept safely out of the way and goes looking for the scattered survivors of her destroyed homeworld instead.
A five-issue miniseries published between 4 March and 1 July 2015, written by Mark Waid, pencilled by Terry Dodson, inked by Rachel Dodson and coloured by Jordie Bellaire. It was the second title of Marvel’s relaunched licence and the first to give an original-trilogy lead a solo book.

Dossiers
Who is in it
Encyclopedia entries for the figures this run develops.
Leia Organa
A politician first, a fighter by necessity, and the character the novels have served best.
Luke Skywalker
The farm boy the whole shelf is built around — and the character the two continuities disagree about most.
Han Solo
The genre’s most durable scoundrel, and a surprisingly hard character to write well in prose.
