- "In my humble opinion, there isn't a more fun character to be writing in the Star Wars galaxy than the one and only Doctor Aphra. Cooking up new adventures for her in this new era, throwing her into increasingly tricky moral quandaries, and testing her resolve (alongside some familiar faces) has truly been like playing in the ultimate sandbox. Our favorite chaos agent is back, and I cannot wait to share what we've been working on and for you all to see Gabriel's incredibly dynamic art."
- ―Cherish Chen
Star Wars: Doctor Aphra – Chaos Agent is a 2025 canon ongoing comic book series written by Cherish Chen and illustrated by Gabriel Guzman. The first issue was published by Marvel Comics on June 18, 2025.
