A character from Disney's animated series all set to feature in an all new "Star Wars" comic book. The comic will explore the early life of Kanan before he begins his journey on the ship Ghost, against the empire. [Spoiler Alert]

Kanan is a Jedi Knight in the animated series "Star Wars: Rebels." He and his crew members start a rebellion that will soon engulf the entire galaxy. The plot of the animated series is set in between episode 3 and 4 of the movies.

The new "Star Wars" comic will have ties to the animated series and will tell the back story of Kanan. The Jedi were hunted down after the events of episode 3 in the movies and Kanan was one of the force wielders to go into hiding at that time. He is seen using his lighsaber after a long time in the animated series.

The story of the comic "Star Wars - Kanan: The Last Padawan" is overseen by Greg Weisman, who is also the executive producer of the animated series. Marvel released an interview with him explaining that the comic will inform the readers about his background and explain some of his actions in the animated series. He also said that the comic will not impact much of the plot in the animated series but refused to give away more.

The comics are said to have a darker tone compared to the animated series. This is because the time period covered in the comic deals with a dark time in the galaxy when the empire tries to assert its authority after the fall of the republic.

The new "Star Wars" comic will show how Kanan trains to be a Jedi with Master Billaba and later after the events of episode 3, readers will see how he has to unlearn everything and hide his true identity in order to stay alive.

The other "Star Wars" comic coming out in 2015 is "Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Empire Vol 1 TPB." The comic is set in the same time period as Kanan's story but will focus more on the rise of Darth Vader as the evil Sith Lord who will sunjugate the galaxy for his emperor.
