Starwars.com and Marvel shared a preview of next week’s Trail of Shadows #2 yesterday and we’ve taken a look inside!
Check out the preview and a breakdown of first appearances below. If you haven’t already secured your pre-order, grab one from the links below!
Variant Covers:
First up, Trail of Shadows #2 is the first appearance of Senator Ghirra Starros. Now, that might sound familiar and that’s because Sana Starros is currently off having adventures with Doctor Aphra during the Original Trilogy era. Ghirra Starros is part of a vast hyperspace prospecting clan, at odds with the San Tekkas. She has already made an appearance in Justina Ireland’s Out of the Shadows novel. This will be Ghirra’s first comic appearance, though.
Sana Starros of course, made a first masked cameo in Star Wars (2015) #4, a first full appearance in issue #6!
Next up, we have a republic intelligence officer by the name of Director Barquet making his first appearance.
Finally, we learn the name of the underworld contact who killed private eye, Sian Holt’s confidential informant. Arathab Fel is a Tarnab male who is trying to sell a secret Nihil weapon on the black market. Wink wink.
Check out the preview below!

EMERICK AND SIAN FACE TOTAL AN-NIHIL-ATION!
- As dead ends and loose threads mount in Jedi Master Emerick Caphtor’s investigation, he’s called to Coruscant, where Chancellor Soh introduces him to his new partner: private eye Sian Holt.
- Together, they must go undercover to infiltrate one of the most crime-riddled and dangerous planets in the galaxy.
- Will Emerick’s duty to the Republic get in the way of Sian’s personal vendetta? Time’s running out to close this case…and what do the Nihil have to do with any of this?!
