Star Wars: Doctor Aphra – Chaos Agent #2 (2025) is the second issue of the ongoing Marvel Comics series written by Cherish Chen, with art by Gabriel Guzman, colors by Michael Atiyeh, and lettering by Joe Caramagna. It was released on July 23, 2025 and features a main cover by Ejikure, with variant covers by Marguerite Sauvage, Annie Wu, and Rickie Yagawa. The story is set in the New Republic era, post-Return of the Jedi, after the Battle of Jakku (5 ABY).
In this issue, Doctor Aphra and Luke Skywalker continue their uneasy partnership, tracking a valuable artifact on the planet Aargau. Their mission is complicated by an unstable underworld collector with their own agenda, raising the question of whether Aphra, now an agent of the New Republic’s DAGGERS (Department of Artifacts and Archival Goods Retrieval), will betray her Jedi companion for personal gain. The narrative explores Aphra’s morally ambiguous nature, her dynamic with Luke, and the challenges of operating in a galaxy transitioning to New Republic rule. Previews highlight the tension between Aphra’s self-interest and her forced alliance with Luke, alongside action-packed treasure-hunting and betrayal.
