### **Star Wars: Dark Droids takes the galaxy far, far away to a scary place.**

#### **Here’s the complete reading order.**

Marvel has established their love of events, going back to things like Atlantis 
Attacks and Evolutionary Wars; that’s not any different with their Star Wars books.
They’ve done War of the Bounty Hunters and Crimson Reign already; Dark Droids is
a little different. Marvel takes Star Wars into the horror genre with this event.

> Launching in August with STAR WARS: DARK DROIDS #1, the event will also spin off
> into new series and tie into the four ongoing series that are currently bridging
> the gap between _The Empire Strikes Back_ and _Return of the Jedi _films: STAR
> WARS, [STAR WARS: DARTH VADER](https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/28376/star_wars_darth_vader_2020_-_present),
> STAR WARS: DOCTOR APHRA, and STAR WARS: BOUNTY HUNTERS. DARK DROIDS will be a 
> rare horror-fueled _Star Wars_ epic set that erupts when a new threat is unleashed
> throughout the galaxy, corrupting droids, cyborgs, and everything in-between! 
> Who or what is the Scourge — and why is no droid safe? As a corruption spreads
> from one droid to the next, the Rebel Alliance and the Empire both face chaos!
> What role does Ajax Sigma from last year’s [STAR WARS: REVELATIONS](https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/103249/star_wars_revelations_2022_1)
> one-shot play in all of this? And whose side is he on?

There are no formal prequel books for the series, but there are 2 titles that do
give some info about what was to come in the story.

 * Star Wars: Revelations #1
 * Star Wars: Han Solo and Chewbacca #9
 * Star Wars: Han Solo and Chewbacca #10

Revelations introduces Ajax Sigma, a key player in the story. Han Solo and Chewbacca
