Star Wars celebrates Pride Month with special comic book covers featuring beloved LGBTQ characters

Just like our own world, the Star Wars universe is full of diversity – of nationality, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. And to celebrate the upcoming Pride Month, Lucasfilm and Marvel have teamed up to, once again, produce a slate of comic covers celebrating the beloved LGBTQ characters of Star Wars.

Kicking off in June, each Pride variant is designed by LGBTQ artists and features two Star Wars logos with rainbow designs. The covers feature LGBTQ characters from across the Star Wars timeline – from The High Republic to the sequel era and everything in between.

Here’s the full list of Star Wars Pride Month variant covers coming next month.
