Today marks the end of an era. 'Star Wars: Doctor Aphra,' the first and only Star Wars ongoing centered on a character not introduced in the films or television series of the current canon Star Wars universe, comes to an end today with issue No. 40.
Star Wars
universe, comes to an end today with issue No. 40. The character, first introduced by Kieron Gillen and artist Salvador Larroca in the pages ofNo. 3 quickly became a fan-favorite. The “rogue archeologist” as she describes herself, has found her morals tested time and time again, and despite every opportunity to make the right choice she makes the wrong one. Yet, she is a character worth rooting for, and her perspective has certainly added something to themythos.
It’s not just Aphra’s moral gray area that makes her so compelling and unique. It’s also the sense of humor her book employs. There’s a sense of self-awareness that the character has about the galaxy, one that undermines some of the more grandiose positions that fans have held onto. To her Luke isn’t a hero but a “farm boy” held back by his own naivety, and Darth Vader, whom she’s a self-declared “big fan of” is also a broken child in her eyes.
Every time it looks like we’ve seen the last of Doctor Aprha she pops back up, outsmarting all efforts to kill her despite having Vader, of all people, on her trail. While the comics can cover her exploits during the original trilogy, it seems like there is room to explore the character’s place after the events of, as she will undoubtedly survive.
At the end of issue 40, Doctor Aphra comments on her desire to see not just the rest of the galaxy, but “everything.” While that might not be in the character’s immediate future, it would be fitting for a film, or more likely, a Disney+ series, to follow Doctor Aphra as she explores a new universe.
