While Han Solo's standalone flick
Solo: A Star Wars Story is just around the corner, that doesn't mean other characters won't be receiving some of the spotlight. Lucasfilm will be ushering in May the Fourth with a manga which will focus on Princess Leia.
Thanks to LINE, the digital manga will debut online on May 4th. The series will be adapting the young adult novel
Leia, Princess of Alderann by Claudia Grey. The illustrator Haruichi will oversee its progress.
You can see LINE's announcement of the manga below:
STAR WARS / Leia. In this Manga, we will follow Leia who became part of the Alderaan royal family soon after birth in the last scene of the movie “Star Wars Episode 3 / Revenge of Sith” before encountering Luke and Han Solo in “Star Wars Episode 4 / A New Hope.” It is a story depicting the growth of Leia. How Leia became a Princess of Alderaan, became the youngest former Lieutenant, and follows a love story with an original character – Kier.
This isn't LINE's first venture into the
galaxy far, far away having adapted the novel
Star Wars: Lost Wars into a manga series. Both
Lost Stars and
Leia's adaptations will be translated to print later in the year.
