The Last Jedi adaptation in comic form is looking to deliver more of what fans want to see and read….
In The Last Jedi, , Rey and Chewbacca break the news of Han’s death to Luke off screen. After they finally get the hermetic Jedi master to talk to them, Luke realizes that if Chewbacca and the Millennium Falcon are on Ahch-To, something is missing.
“Where’s Han?” he asks, but the movie skips the explanation — which the viewer already knows — and cuts directly to Han’s murderer, and son, Kylo Ren, aboard Supreme Leader Snoke’s flagship.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi: Adaptation #1, written by Rogue One: A Star Wars Story screenwriter Gary Whitta and drawn by Michael Walsh, has two things going for it. One, Whitta manages to find enough space to devote a page to Rey’s explanation of Han’s fate, and Luke’s reaction to it. And two, the medium of comics is one in which it’s pretty standard for a character’s inner thoughts to be revealed to the reader, by way of narration boxes.
Issue #1 of Star Wars: The Last Jedi Adaptation is available at comic book stores now — for more information check out the official Marvel site.
