Marvel's Star Wars: Jar Jar #1 one-shot debuts this week and it's a solid story that captures the intricacies of not just the Gungan dealing with the ramifications of his push to give Palpatine emergency powers, but also provides readers with a long-game view of how rebellions are birthed and maintained. Fans of Star Wars: Rebels are in for a treat, too, as are those of Jedi Master Kelleran Beq, as this story leaves open endless po...

It's the back half of a two-week stretch sans new Star Wars comics, but there's news, wildly inaccurate conjecture and of course other things. If you that last week's episode was something, be prepared for some "WOWZA" in this week's dispatch. Onward and upward, dear listener, onward and upward!

Marvel's ambitious Jedi Knights maxi-series comes to what we think is a satisfying conclusion, albeit one with some threads that we hope are explored down the road. Jedi Knights #10 caps the pre-Phantom Menace-era title that gave readers new jedi and a deeper understanding not just of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, but Count Dooku, too.
