Star Wars: Obi-Wan Comic Reveals Official Synopsis for First Issue

StarWars.com has released the official synopsis for the first issue of the recently announced Marvel comic Star Wars: Obi-Wan.

Here is the official synopsis of the first issue:

Along with the announcement in early February, three covers were already revealed, which you can check out here. In addition, StarWars.com has now released the synopsis and covers for two other highly-anticipated comic issues coming out in May.

And speaking of Lady Qi'ra, StarWars.com has also released the synopsis for Han Solo & Chewbacca #3, also out in May, which will cross over with Soule's Crimson Reign run -- in fact, the description of the May issue teases Han and Qi'ra reuniting many years after the events of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Check it out:

In addition, May will also see the release of Star Wars Tales: Krrsantan #1, a recollection of some of the stories already told from the Wookiee bounty hunter, Darth Vader #23, Star Wars #24, Doctor Aphra #21, and Bounty Hunters #23.
