I can't recall seeing anything from them regarding the subject, but based on what they have released already as far as novels and the Clone Wars they aren't afraid to bring poo poo back if it doesn't conflict with the narrative.

I feel like if Mara Jade comes back, it won't be as Luke's wife.

I love the art in this issue. Lots of full pages and spreads. I have NO loving clue what's coming next in this story.

I really, really loved how they tied that scene together from 2 different points of view, with 2 different artist's interpretations.

Brilliant move releasing both on the same day.

That and it was loving chilling.

edit: You could seriously feel the absolute rage radiating off Vader as he called Palpatine.

edit2: The Han's wife reveal was pretty awesome too.

I'm waiting for the ex-wife zing or some poo poo on the last one. I'm so glad I'm a hopeless fan for this stuff, because there have been some good moments in the series' so far, and some of the dialog just feels cinematic.

There is so much I want to talk about that is sweet in these issues, but it would just end up as a wall of spoiler text.

Like how they dodged a bullet by having using the flash grenade, so 1) Luke never actually sees Boba Fett, and 2) we get a call back to the only real jedi training Luke got with the remotes and the blast sheild.

In SW #6: We learn Han Solo has a wife/ex-wife who's not terribly happy with him
In both SW #6 and DV #6: Vader learns who destroyed the Death Star and is naturally very angry that the Emperor lied to him about Padme's death

understatement of the year.

In the new comics he gets beat by a blind kid in a disheveled hut in the desert. I like the new canon.

I just don't like crossovers because I normally prefer buying one book. I don't really care about Vader's side of the story.

I'm sure they will make the entire Vader Down arc into one Trade Paperback. It's a 6 issue arc, which is the preferred length for TPBs it seems.

The Star Wars Annual #1 dropped today. I enjoyed it, and now I have a new character I really dig and hope we get more development soon, and we don't have to wait until next year.

I do not want to turn this into a big spoilery discussion about The Force Awakens, but did anything at all from Shattered Empire appear in it? I didn't see a single hint of it unless Rey's parents are the pilots from it


The pilots are Poe's parents.

soooo.

where's a good place to get started with the new comics, as a new reader?

The Trade Paperbacks have Issues 1-6 collected. It's as good a start as any, really. Star Wars and Vader are good. Shattered Empire is a short 4 episode run that has some TFA tidbits in it if you look hard enough.

It's part 1 of 5. The art is good, and the setup is in between TPM and AotC. This one is just setup. I'm getting a weird Star Wars Steampunk vibe so far. Lots of airships!

Ep 2-3: Clones
Ep 4-6: Recruits
Ep 7: Kidnapped children.

Are we sure about that? Ep 7 makes a big deal about the fact that non-clones are something they're doing as a tentative alternative to clones- something that's started since the rise of the Order. I think the recruits thing was based in EU stuff that's not canon anymore.

Rebels, which is Canon, has several story lines and plot points based on this fact. Ezra infiltrates an Imperial academy, and (old) Clone Troopers comment on how the non-clone Stormtroopers are poo poo.

The faces aren't even in the same style or texture as the rest of the art. It's awful and people have been complaining for years with no change.



Like, out of context, I couldn't even tell you who that is supposed to be. It looks fan made, and it's loving Star Wars.

I was about to say. I'm pretty sure he just put an old picture of Angel as the head of the officer. Which, like, neat. I get it. But gently caress man I'd much rather you just draw all the faces.

2) Did anyone get Star Wars Adventures #10 this week? My local shop said it was delayed, but nothing I find online corroborates.

Mine ordered 10, 8 of us have pulls for it, and they received none. Weren't even invoiced, but Diamond shows it released? Dunno. Maybe we'll get it next week.
