First Look: Poe Dameron Returns in New Star Wars: Force Awakens Prequel Series
The heroism and flying skills of Poe Dameron were on full display in the Star Wars sequel trilogy of films, but both will be put to the test when Oscar Isaac’s ace pilot returns for a four-part series set before the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Before Dameron was flying life-or-death missions with the fate of the galaxy on the line, he was keeping the New Republic safe from, what else? Space pirates.
The new Dark Horse comic series Star Wars Hyperspace Stories: Codebreaker will offer a new look at the status quo of the Resistance prior to The Force Awakens, with the first official preview of the story offered as part of the Lucasfilm Publishing panel at Star Wars Celebration. Coming from the creative team of Ethan Sacks, Marc Yarza, and Jose Marzan Jr., readers looking to enjoy another Dameron-centered adventure can see just how the story begins in the first-look preview below:
Poe Dameron, ace Resistance pilot, and his droid companion BB-8 are sent to investigate a piece of First Order tech used to decode Resistance messages. Standing between them and their objective is an infamous TIE fighter pilot. Can Poe out-fly his enemy, or will the mission go down in flames before it begins?
Poe and BB-8 are back for an all-new adventure! Celebrate the 10-year anniversary of The Force Awakens! Four issue series.

Poe Dameron’s Pilot Skills Will Be Tested in New ‘Codebreaker’ Adventure
Details on the series have been scarce, outlining a dangeorus mission sending Poe and BB-8 into a First Order facility in search of the titular First Order codebreaker. Getting in is easy enough for a character like Dameron, but escaping unscathed is a different challenge. Of course, the prequel nature of the story suggests that neither Poe Dameron nor BB-8 are in any danger of surviving. But as has proven the case with other high-profile Star Wars prequels, that doesn’t mean other significant additions to canon won’t be made.
Considering that Hosnian Prime, the seat of the New Republic in the prequel trilogy timeline, was only seen for moments prior to its destruction by Starkiller Base, fans will be excited at the possibility of any exploration of the planet, its power structures, and any related intrigue. The added presence of pirates only sweetens the deal, teasing that Poe Dameron may have found his equal in one mysery TIE Fighter pilot. With more questions than answers, the new Dark Horse adventure can’t begin soon enough.
Star Wars Hyperspace Stories: Codebreaker #1 will be available on April 23, from Dark Horse Comics.
