Star Wars Celebration is now in full swing and while everyone's itching for a peek at The Last Jedi and Star Wars Rebels season 4 previews, Marvel Comics has decided to add to the festivity.
Marvel Comics is giving fans a preview at the first issue of a comic book series that brings together Marvel's most popular Star Wars and Doctor Aphra series for a five-part adventure titled The Screaming Citadel in Celebration.
Series Editor Jordan D. White expressed his excitement for the project:
"We're so excited for The Screaming Citadel because it brings a whole new tone and feel to the Star Wars characters we know and love. The titular citadel is our version of the dark and mysterious castle on the hill, and our cast of rebels and rogues are the adventurers who face a stormy night exploring the darkness. Kieron and Jason write these characters so vibrantly, it's awesome to see them thrown into a new situation like this…get ready for a good one!"

Somehow Luke Skywalker finds himself teaming up Doctor Aphra in his quest to become a Jedi after the good Doctor gives him an offer he can't refuse. In the end, the two find themselves lost in the Screaming Citadel. It's interesting how Marvel Comics is going to throw in the two different franchise's together, but from the looks of things, it's going to be pretty exciting.
