==Plot summary==
==Development==
The issue was confirmed to be the finale to Charles Soule's series on June 20, 2024. Soule turned in the lettering draft of Star Wars 50 on July 2 and thanked artist Madibek Musabekov for his "gorgeous" artwork. In his July newsletter, Soule promised to do a more dedicated post on issue 50 once it was released and revealed the four individual chapter names.
As Soule considers War of the Bounty Hunters, Star Wars: Crimson Reign, Star Wars: Hidden Empire, and Star Wars: Dark Droids to be part of his main Star Wars run, Soule stated the issue is more of an issue seventy than an issue fifty. The fifty-page issue is broken up into individual chapters which he likened to a graphic novel. With its release, Soule intended to take a moment to sit with the accomplishment and considered doing a look back on the series in a newsletter-like format.
==Continuity==
Star Wars 50 links together the various Star Wars eras author Charles Soule has written in—stretching from the days of the High Republic Era to the sequel trilogy time period—and brings together a great deal of content from the Star Wars series and its spinoffs. The issue itself, however, is designed to be largely separate from the overall Star Wars line, ensuring fans not up to date with the comic could read it.
