Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, Darth Vader, Jabba the Hutt, and Grand Moff Tarkin are all getting comic book #1 issues starting in April as Marvel's Age of Star Wars initiative shifts from the Age of Republic to the Age of Rebellion, focusing on characters from the original Star Wars trilogy.

A press release contains more details:
