Almost eight years since her debut in the early issues of 2015's Star Wars (Vol. 2), Sana Starros is leading her own five-issue mini-series (Star Wars: Sana Starros) that promises to detail her early life and how she came to be who she is.
The series -- written by Justina Ireland, illustrated by Pere Pérez, colored by Jay David Ramos, lettered by VC's Travis Lanham, with book design by Carlos Lao, and edited by Mikey J. Basso, Danny Khazem and Mark Paniccia -- begins with a fast start, introducing readers old and new to Sana herself and bringing her extended family into the picture, too, setting up a heist that will see the Starros family tangle with the Empire.
