Star Wars: Mace Windu #4 by Marc Bernardin and Georges Jeanty comes out this Wednesday, May 15th, 2024 and Marvel Comics has provided us with a 6-page preview to check out before the release.
Here’s what to expect…
Star Wars: Mace Windu #4 is the final issue of the Mace Windu centered 4-part comic mini-series from Marvel. In it, Mace Windu and his unlikely ally, Azita Cruuz, will face off with the Dusk Weavers of the Had’le Path, a cult that is against using modern technology and wants to “cleanse” the galaxy of those who use technology to further their personal goals. We’ve already seen two members, Miya and Duro, but this issue will introduce their leader, The Shroud.
Making Star Wars: Mace Windu #4 the *likely* first appearance of The Shroud. Unless I’m missing something from last issue.
Overall, this has been a fun series but I’m not sure there’s enough time to produce a proper final act in one issue. But we shall see.
I’ll be interesting to see if Yaya Shram (the Anzellan pirate that works with Jabba the Hutt) plays a role in this issue. They built him up quite a bit just have him get wrecked by Mace and Azita. Seems like his gang would be a part of the finale but not sure how they’ll squeeze it all in.
I’m getting the feeling that a lot of the current Marvel Comics Star Wars mini-series were planned to be six issues but were knocked down to four to cut costs or something. This would explain why Thrawn: Alliances was wrapped up in four issues even though they didn’t tell the full story.
If so, that’s a shame. Squeezing six issues into four comic books is a perfect recipe for a disappointing conclusion. I’m just speculating though.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Marc is a good writer in my opinion so it should be pretty good.

INTRODUCING THE SHROUD! Just as MACE and smuggler AZITA CRUUZ arrive at her freighter, they’re beset by MURO, DIYA and the leader of their cult, THE SHROUD. The Shroud is something that Mace Windu was never trained for and isn’t prepared for – and might push a JEDI KNIGHT to his breaking point!
