01 · Summary
What the series is about
The five-issue official comic adaptation of The Rise of Skywalker.
The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation was published by Marvel during 2025. IDS classifies the series as Canon, places it in the Sequel trilogy era, and labels its format as Film adaptation.
The current run record is 5 issues. That run description is kept separate from variants, collected editions, annuals, one-shots, and reprints so collectors can distinguish the story sequence from the physical formats used to publish it.
02 · Publication file
Where it sits in Star Wars comics
The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation belongs to the Canon side of the archive and is indexed as a film adaptation from Marvel. Its publication span is 2025, with the current IDS run record listed as 5 issues.
IDS treats publisher, continuity, run structure, physical issue format, variants, and later collections as separate metadata fields so a trade paperback or alternate cover is not mistaken for a different story issue.

Series contributors in bibliographic records

07 · IDS lens
What this comic can reveal
IDS uses this series to examine how Star Wars represents identity, institutions, belief, conflict, memory, material culture, and social relationships over a longer serialized form.
The goal is not to score or rank the comic. The lens identifies what kinds of social evidence the run can add to the wider IDS archive.
08 · Source record
Publication and collector sources
IDS separates publication facts and creator metadata from independently written summaries and analysis. Representative covers are resolved from bibliographic records and may depict a collected edition rather than the exact first issue of the run.
