Star Wars: Dark Droids #1 has the daunting task of setting up Star Wars’ next big comic crossover event, the possession of droids and cyborgs by an entity known as the Scourge for readers familiar with Marvel’s multiple original trilogy-era Star Wars series and new readers. Charles Soule’s writing, Luke Ross’ artwork, Alex Sinclair’s coloring, and Travis Lanham’s lettering all create a strong introduction to the Scourge and set this new threat apart from previous enemies the Star Wars galaxy has faced.At the beginning of Star Wars: Dark Droids #1, readers learn that after the Spark Eternal, a dark side AI created by the Ascendant cult to destroy the Sith, was expelled from Doctor Aphra, it bonded with ancient technology aboard Amaxine Station to become the Scourge, an entity capable of possessing droids and cyborgs to replicate itself into a hive mind bent on destruction. Charles Soule provides enough background on the Spark Eternal for new readers to understand its former quest and its motivations in its new form as the Scourge.Soule also shows the scale of the Scourge’s threat to the entire galaxy, especially since the Scourge manages to kill an entire Star Destroyer within a brief amount of time. He also makes sure to emphasize that the droids being possessed are the Scourge’s victims, too, and their possession is without their consent. Soule also sets up a faction of droids, the Second Revelation, as possible heroes against the Scourge. When familiar faces begin to be taken over by the end of the issue, Soule creates a strong cliffhanger to catapult the series forward.RELATED: The Star Wars Comics Reveal How the Rebels Weaponized the Media Against Emperor Palpatine
