Star Wars (2020) 41
Star Wars 41 is the forty-first issue of the 2020 canon comic book series Star Wars and serves as part of the Star Wars: Dark Droids event. The issue was written by Charles Soule, illustrated by Madibek Musabekov and Rachelle Rosenberg, and published by Marvel Comics on December 6, 2023.
The issue ties into the events of Dark Droids 5 but was released several weeks ahead of Dark Droids 5. As Star Wars 41 contains spoilers to the end of the overall Dark Droids series, Soule urged fans to wait for the release of Dark Droids 5, read that first, and only then read Star Wars 41.[3]
