Star Wars

The latest issue of Legacy of Vader was released and we’re back to witness the confrontation between Kylo Ren and former Jedi, Grandea, on the planet, Lahtee. As promised, a significant portion of this month’s issue was devoted to an Order 66 flashback. If you’re rolling your eyes at yet another Order 66 flashback, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by the end of it. For Ren, after last month’s easy sweep of Corellia, Grandea proves to be a much more challenging opponent for the Sith. No doubt, exactly what Vaneé had in mind when he suggested that Kylo Ren hunt for bigger game. In keeping with consistency for the series, both Ren and readers get a bit of a history lesson. However, the lesson gets taken a step further for Ren when he finally learns a valuable piece of information...

And so, the High Republic publishing initiative is finally over. After countless books, comics, manga volumes, short stories, audio dramas, television shows, and four and a half years, the High Republic era can finally just be. This week’s The Finale one-shot from Marvel gives us our one final goodbye to one of Star Wars‘ richest and most ambitious tales. Much will be made about the High Republic in the coming months and years, but one thing is for certain: Star Wars had the guts to give us something new and vibrant, and it will live with me for a long, long time. Cavan Scott’s The High Republic: The Finale is the swan song to it all. The Nihil are defeated, leaving the Jedi and the Republic to begin to rebuild. This issue does a great job putting a nice bow on everything that came befo...

Happy Sunday, and welcome to the latest edition of “This Week, In a Galaxy Far, Far Away“. I took last Sunday off for personal reasons, but we’re now back! Despite that, there’s still not a lot going on in Star Wars, other than the Andor Emmy nominations (and a surprise Acolyte cameo!). There will not be another live-action show until Ahsoka Season 2 in 2026 (the show is currently in production) and the next animated series to debut will likely be Star Wars: Visions — Volume 3, on October 29. We are now two months away from Star Wars: Starfighter to start shooting, which means more members of the cast should start getting announced soon. Meanwhile, it seems like Kathleen Kennedy may have to wait even longer for her Taika Waititi Star Wars movie. Could the announcement of Waititi’s Judge...

The first issue of Hyperspace Stories: Codebreaker reintroduced us to a young hotshot Poe Dameron who was about to be tested on a mission outside his comfort zone, perhaps in a way that would have him learn lessons and mature as a soldier. The twist that he was breaking a young Muun hybroid out of prison rather than retrieving a simple device offered some intriguing possibilities for how the rest of the mission would play out, though you can probably guess what happens from there. That’s not to say this second issue isn’t fun. Poe’s story is all action from start to finish as the First Order immediately realize there’s an intruder in the base and Poe’s disguise fails the first time he encounters a stormtrooper. Thankfully Poe is good in a shootout and has plenty of luck on his side to c...
