Coming August, the Dark Droids event will see Star Wars' droids fall under the influence of the Scourge, leading iconic figures like C-3PO to turn against the Rebellion.
C-3PO's betrayal of Luke Skywalker is coming in a new Star Wars comic event, which will take a rare swerve into horror for the franchise. C-3PO is a character that has been beloved since Star Wars first appeared in 1977. Played by Anthony Daniels in the films, the protocol droid works among the Rebellion and the Resistance to help ensure peace is brought to the galaxy...even if he's a bit cautious in doing so.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT New cover art for the upcoming miniseries Star Wars: Dark Droids by Charles Soule and Luke Ross features C-3PO with bright purple eyes as he falls victim to a nightmarish entity known as the Scourge. This rogue programming will take over various droids across the galaxy, and C-3PO is front and center to showcase just how personal this battle truly is.
Dark Droids Is About to Corrupt C-3PO Close It's absolutely devastating to get a look ahead that confirms this fan-favorite hero will be controlled by the Scourge. Of course, this likely won't be his decision, as this entity is set to forcefully take over various droids to overthrow humans and aliens. This will somehow relate to the recently awakened droid freedom fighter Ajax Sigma.
Dark Droids is expected to begin this summer with issue 1 hitting store shelves on August 2 2023. This series is going to be one that fans will not want to miss as it pushes the boundaries of what they expect a Star Wars story to be. The decision to make C-3PO betray Luke Skywalker is the ultimate way to show there will be major consequences as Star Wars dips its toes into horror.
