“Seeking Creative Writer to Introduce a Jedi-Spider to the Spider-Verse”

Dan Slott, long-time writer of Spider-Man comics, recently revealed some of the off-the-wall Spider-Verse concepts that Marvel editorial passed on. These included a Spider-Man mashed with Star Wars, a Spider-Mickey and/or Donald, a Jedi-Spider, a Spider-Gritty, a Spider-Man mixed with New York Mets mascot Mr. Met, and Zendaya as Spider-Woman. Despite these ideas being rejected, Slott was still proud of the concepts that did make it into print, including a singing Spider-Princess named Spinstress who battled Bishop Octopus.

Though a Jedi-Spider might seem too outlandish, both Marvel and Star Wars are owned by the Walt Disney Company, making the mashup technically possible. In fact, Spider-Man has an unusual connection with Star Wars that dates back to 1977’s Spidey Super Stories #31. This issue featured “Star Jaws,” a spoof on the movie which saw Spidey in space battling Doctor Doom and his own version of the Death Star, a giant orb with teeth called Star Jaws. The cover for the issue parodied the original Star Wars movie poster, with Spider-Man holding a lightsaber, Doctor Doom’s head looming in the background in place of Darth Vader and Moon Dragon filling in for Princess Leia.

Though Edge of Spider-Verse has wrapped up, Slott’s work on Spidey and his multiversal incarnations continues in the story arc “The End of the Spider-Verse,” now running in Marvel’s current Spider-Man series. It’s obvious that Slott has a passion for the Spider-Verse, and it’s exciting to think of what other wild ideas he may have in store for future issues.
