Star Wars Hyperspace Stories is a 12-part “all-ages” comic series from Dark Horse comics that tells stories from the three main eras of Star Wars at the moment; the prequel era, the original trilogy era, and the sequel trilogy. Telling individual stories from the galaxies most infamous heroes and villains that are all share one element of connective tissue.
This story is all centered around a wookiee stuffed animal. Every issue comes back to this toy as its passed down to different owners from the Clone Wars to the sequel era. So what makes this stuffie so important that Dooku, Darth Sidious, Asaijj Ventress, and Kylo Ren all sense it’s presence?
To me it’s clearly a force artifact or has a force artifact hidden inside it. It’s significance and origin is currently unclear but I am excited to see how this plays out.
My best guess? I think it’s a Dark Side artifact that the Wookiees were entrusted to keep secret so they hid it in the last place someone would expect to find such a thing… a children’s toy.
Star Wars Hyperspace Stories #8, #9, #10, and #11 will have this toy cross paths withe Qunlan Vos, Cad Bane, The Bad Batch (this first comic appearance btw) Mace Windu, and Master Yoda himself before the story wraps up with issue #12.
Hopefully we get some answers soon. I genuinely don’t know where this is going.
Let’s take a look at the cover art and descriptions for the next 4 issues.
