Star Wars: Doctor Aphra – Chaos Agent is an ongoing canon comic series set in the post-Empire era of the New Republic, picking up after Aphra’s exploits in previous runs. It launched on June 18, 2025, with the rogue archaeologist (and reluctant anti-hero) stepping out from Darth Vader’s shadow to navigate a galaxy of artifacts, Jedi, and her own moral gray areas. Written by Cherish Chen with art by Gabriel Guzmán (early issues) and Steven Cummings (later arcs), it’s a blend of heist thriller, sci-fi action, and dark humor—perfect for fans of Aphra’s irreverent vibe.
Official Synopsis
WHO SLICED THE SLICER? To avoid prison, DOCTOR APHRA became an agent of the NEW REPUBLIC! But to keep her in line during her parole, they had her electro-tattoos locked. But who could do that to the galaxy’s greatest slicer? The answer WILL SHOCK YOU!
This issue dives deeper into Aphra’s reluctant role as a New Republic operative, building on the series’ themes of relic-hunting, uneasy alliances (including her prior team-up with Luke Skywalker), and her signature brand of chaotic survival tactics. Expect high-stakes slicing, betrayals, and a plot twist that ties into her malfunctioning electro-tattoos—those infamous tech-infused markings that have kept her one step ahead of disaster (or doom) in past adventures.
