We're taking a look at Darth Vader (2020) Issue #4, following the Dark Lord down his path of, what one would assume is, his eventual acceptance of the true cause of Padme's death. In his search for answers, Padme's former protectors seek vengeance for their Queen, and honor the memory of the young Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker.
We also checked out the latest excerpts released for the upcoming novel, Thrawn: Chaos Rising. While reading the stories of Thrawn's past will certainly be interesting, would Lucasfilm ever consider incorporating our beloved Ezra Bridger and The Portal into this Ascendancy trilogy to throw one heck of an epic, time-traveling curve ball?

The more we talk about the return of The Bad Batch, the more excited we get for their Disney+ series! And it sure sounds like Disney is going to capitalize off their very own "ninja turtles-like" heroes - minus the half shells. We also checked out the latest issue of the Star Wars main comic line, #5. A naive Luke is about to learn a dark lesson that his teachers glossed over in his training...

This may be one of our favorite episodes to date. If you haven't read Cavan Scott's short story "Time of Death" from the Star Wars: From A Certain Point of View anthology, do yourself a favor, and go check it out. We dig deep into Obi-Wan's final moments and the flashbacks and visions he experiences before his death. There is so much packed into this short story, and it could very well act as a blueprint for the upcoming Kenobi series on Disney+. Join us!

We'll soon discover Thrawn's origins in Timothy Zahn's Chaos Rising, and the recently released prologue for the upcoming book leads us to believe that the "recruit born of no title" may have something to prove to the Nine Ruling Families of the Chiss. Disney+'s recent addition of Solo also has us begging for standalone stories for Qi'ra and Enfys Nest, two characters whose experiences are unparalleled to Star Wars favorites. Join us!
