April is shaping up to be a huge month for Star Wars comics. Four issues will be released in the month, plus with Celebration taking place from the 16th-19th there's a good chance we'll get some more announcements. But that's beside the point for now. Marvel has released the solicitations for April, giving teases at what's to come in each of the four series that will be running, plus the "Legends" epic collection. Check them out below,

• Kanan Jarrus–in STAR WARS REBELS, he’s a cocky, sarcastic renegade
fighting against the Galactic Empire alongside the rag-tag crew of the
Ghost…but years before, at the height of the Clone Wars, he was known as
Caleb Dume, Jedi Padawan under the instruction of Jedi Master Depa
Billaba. Neither master nor apprentice ever suspected that the Clone
Troopers they commanded would turn on them upon the issuing of Order
66—the order to execute all Jedi. How did Caleb Dume survive? How did he
learn to survive on his own? And how did he become the man we know as
Kanan Jarrus? Writer Greg Weisman (writer/executive producer on STAR
WARS REBELS, SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN) and artist Pepe Larraz (DEADPOOL
VS. X-FORCE, THOR, INHUMAN) bring us a tale bridging the years between
the Clone Wars and Rebels!

Kanan - The Last Padawan #1
Star Wars #4
Princess Leia #3
STAR WARS LEGENDS EPIC COLLECTION: THE NEW REPUBLIC VOL. 1 TPB
The cover for Princess Leia #3 has many fans speculating if the blond woman is Winter Celchu of "Legends" fame. I wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions and expect it will likely be a new character, but then you never know. Also, Luke returning to Ben's hut on Tatooine and Darth Vader vs Battle Droids? Yes Please!
