Cork illustrator Will Sliney to tell new Star Wars story

Will Sliney is getting to live every Sci Fi nerd’s dream - by telling a new Star Wars story for Lucasfilm.

The Cork illustrator, who already works for Marvel creating comics for The Amazing Spiderman 2099 series, has been tasked with telling the tale of the ’ Journey to the Force Awakens’.

In these new stories Sliney is going to bridge the gap between the original trilogy and the new series of movies.

It will focus on Luke Skywalker and his story between the Battle of Endor and wherever ’The Force Awakens’ picks up (because face it, we still don’t know!).

The comics will be available to readers in packs of Nestle cereals on the run up to the release of The Force Awakens in December.

Best news is that you will be able to see it, in an animatic form for free when you get any Nestle Cereals leading up to the movie's release
