Just got the Luke and Leia cover. Very cool. Looking forward to the Lando cover coming out.
I’m really liking these covers – looking forward to finding out who we have to come.
I feel there was a order to begin with The Last Jedi & Solo moving onto expanded characters within Star Wars, Anyone could be next… Here’s hoping for Moroff 😀
Here’s hoping for Bossk! 🙂
Needs more Count Dooku. And hopefully, Director Krennic and Jyn Erso will have their covers too.
Great shout, Krennic would be awesome.
I’m guessing c3po and bb8 are the last 2.
Shame really, would love to have seen more Rogue One characters.
BB-8 is 100% the character for Star Wars #58. Just waiting for the last cover which will be for Darth Vader 25 and I am sure you are right in that it will be C-3PO. It’s been a strange series, I am not sure how 2-1B is more of an icon than Greedo for example. There are so many character that should of been on the covers. Bossk for one! 😉
I agree too, it started out with an order and got more random. The artwork is so beautiful it might of been more exciting to use more ambiguous characters that makes you think that character is deserving to be a galactic icon. It is a shame it is nearly over but let’s see what’s next…
I’m hoping they decide to do more and not just leave it as is. There are so many more deserving characters. I know there is meant to be 36 but here’s hoping.
Looking back through I think my favourite is Thrawn. It is nice to see a different and more realistic character version of the character other than the animated Rebels version.
The art is gorgeous but there are some very questionable character choices. I’d have switched Maz Kanata, Range Trooper, Rose, Hondo, 2-1B and IG-88 for Padmé Amidala, Mace Windu, Count Dooku (perhaps the most overlooked SW character ever), Director Krennic, Jyn Erso, and K-2SO. You know, far more important characters.
Agree, not sure how Hondo or 2-1B got in there!
Where is BB-8
I have the artwork image but wanted to wait until I got the full comic cover image.
