Dark Horse Comics, Cavan Scott, and a host of ghoulishly good artists conjure up a three-part miniseries of nightmares from a galaxy far, far away. Star Wars: Tales from the Nightlands #1 arrives September 2025, launching a Halloween special containing a trio of terrifying tales that span the Skywalker Saga. The series features a new character design from legendary Star Wars concept artist Iain McCaig, who brings the shadowy boogeyman of the series to life. Joining Scott for issue #1 is Bram Stoker Award-winning artist Soo Lee while issues #2 and #3 are illustrated by Vincenzo Riccardi and Robert Hack respectively. Letterer Comicraft joins the creative team, with creepy cover art by Francesco Francavilla.
On the planet Ryloth, Twi’leks speak in hushed tones about the Nightlands, the spectral realm where their spirits retire after death. According to legend, there are certain nights when the veil between that haunted place and the land of the living is so thin that one can communicate with the other side
Enter: The Nightlander, a Star Wars boogeyman who seeks to possess a powerful, living host and bring despair to the galaxy!
Each issue features one of three generations of galactic heroes facing off against the malevolent Nightlander. Issue #1 sees young Padawan Anakin Skywalker visiting Ryloth with Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, attempting to summon the ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn for a final goodbye. But when Anakin makes contact with the Nightlands, it isn’t his old friend who answers! Issue #2 features Luke & Leia facing this horror, and Issue #3 pits Rey & Finn against a dark power unlike any in the galaxy.
Resist despair and survive The Nightlander in Star Wars: Tales from the Nightlands #1 (of 3), arriving in comic shops on September 3, 2025, for $5.99.
