While longtime fans might assume a remake means a new movie, the studio is instead reimagining Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope through a brand-new graphic novel that retells the classic adventure from multiple perspectives. The announcement came during Lucasfilm Publishing's panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, where the company unveiled an extensive lineup of upcoming books spanning every era of the galaxy far, far away. Among all the reveals, one project immediately stood out: Star Wars: A New Hope: Triple Take, an original graphic novel that offers a fresh spin on the events of the original 1977 film while honoring its legacy ahead of the franchise's milestone anniversary.
