Gillen notes that readers can never be sure what the character will or will not do. Noting that "Aphra's sarcasm and the careful way she codes her words are a vital part of her character", also explains that though she is somewhat of a genius, Aphra's ability to think on her toes is what has kept her alive in situations where her genius fails her. SyFy Wire calls the character an anti-hero who "shares the snark of Han Solo and sexual charisma of Lando Calrissian, but toes the line between right and wrong far more regularly than these two characters-and more often than not steps over it into the downright naughty." IGN explains, "Aphra has all of Han's swaggery, scoundrel-y charm, but little of his noble streak." Creator Kieron Gillen notes that the character's main interest is "this weird obsession she has with uncovering old stuff".
Slate calls her "driven, selfish, decisive, and wildly unpredictable". describes Aphra as "a (mostly) morally bankrupt, in-over-her-head archaeologist" with an Asian appearance. She travels in a unique starship called the Ark Angel, which features a custom white-and-blue paint job. Aphra is the first original Star Wars character not from the films to lead a Marvel comic series.ĭoctor Aphra is a criminal archaeologist with an expert knowledge of droid and weapons technologies, with a particular interest in ancient weapons and Jedi artifacts. Supported by droids 0-0-0 and BT-1, and later by her former partner Sana Starros, she is considered a war criminal by the Rebel Alliance. She is a morally questionable, criminal archaeologist initially employed by Darth Vader in his efforts to replace Palpatine as leader of the Galactic Empire, who later goes into hiding from the former after betraying him to the latter and faking her death, briefly establishing a love–hate relationship with Imperial officer Magna Tolvan.
Aphra became a breakout character, and began appearing in her own ongoing spin-off comic series, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, from 2016 to 2019, before relaunching in 2020. White and Heather Antos, she first appeared in Marvel Comics' 2015 Darth Vader comic book series. Created by writer Kieron Gillen, artist Salvador Larroca, and editors Jordan D. Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra, or simply Doctor Aphra, is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise.
