Star Wars Will Reveal Rey's First Mission From General Leia Organa


There's still a lot of things that have been left out from the Star Wars sequel trilogy. For instance, the fate of the Knights of Ren has never been revealed and we don't know what truly happened when Rey finally met General Leia Organa in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Luckily, some questions will finally be answered in September.

Although we'll probably have to wait until December to find out about the Knights of Ren, a new comic book will show fans a more detailed look at Rey's first interaction with Leia. Star Wars: Age of Resistance - Rey #1 is just one of the four new comic books from Marvel Comics that will focus on the characters of the sequel trilogy.

Rey #1, which is written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Ramon Rosanas, will follow Rey's first meeting with Leia after the girl from Jakku managed to escape the destruction of the Starkiller Base. Interestingly, their interaction could reveal why Leia chose to embrace a girl she has never met before the events in The Force Awakens. In addition to that, Leia has a mission for Rey and it's one that leads straight to Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
