    The final chapter of Charles Soule's Qi'ra saga has been revealed. Starting this November, Star Wars: Hidden Empire follows the events of War of the Bounty Hunters and Crimson Reign. StarWars.com spoke with Soule about what we can expect from the miniseries that marks a climax for all of Marvel's Star Wars comics set during the time period between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.



    Now, before that last sentence is misconstrued, there is no indication that this series will be the end for this period of comics. But for Soule, it very much is in a spiritual sense. He presents Hidden Empire as an endgame, saying:



    That quote also confirms that more crossovers between the other Marvel series are coming. We don't have November comic solicitations yet, but Darth Vader, Doctor Aphra, and Bounty Hunters are all conveniently set to kick off a new arc that month. November's Star Wars #29 is still part of this next story arc, which begins August 17th with Star Wars #26.

    Soule then went into more about Qi'ra's motivations. In War of the Bounty Hunters, she orchestrated a plot to bring Crimson Dawn back to the forefront by stealing Han Solo, still frozen in carbonite. Crimson Reign saw her begin a galactic shadow war between the major crime syndicates, forcing the attention of Emperor Palpatine; her end goal of all this being the eradication of the Sith. Soule also touched on an attempt to begin the final bridges between the films Hidden Empire is wedged between. He said:

    No matter the fate of Qi'ra, her reintroduction was worth it. Soule reflects on bringing this chapter of her story to a close.



    Head over to the official Star Wars website for the rest of the interview. For a refresher on the final chapter of Crimson Reign, check out our review of issue #5 here.
