Bounty Hunters ended on Jan. 17 with issue #42. It Marked more than four years of stories in the seedy underbelly of the Star Wars galaxy and all of them were written by Ethan Sacks, from the first preview in Empire Ascendent back in December 2019 to the final issue of the series. We broke down how the series came about, its high (and low) points and how Sacks and Paolo Villanelli (artist on 31 issues) worked in lockstep to elevate Beilert Valance and the bounty-hunting crew to an elevated status in Star Wars as a whole, not to mention the fan base -- Valance Nation -- that was with them every step of the way. We also learned some interesting tidbits about the series and roads not taken, including a scuppered series that would have seen Valance leading an Imperial TIE squadron (thanks, pandemic.)Comics Discussed This Week:Bounty Hunters.

Bo-Katan and her reconnaissance squad retreat from Moff Gideon's base. Upon returning to the Mandalorian flagship, Axe Woves sends the remaining Mandalorians to reinforce the planetary troops, while he defends the ship from Imperial TIE squadrons. With assistance from Grogu, Din Djarin escapes from captivity and seeks out Gideon. Djarin and Grogu discover cloning tanks filled with clones of Gideon, and Djarin destroys them. After a lengthy skirmish between the Mandalorians and the beskar-enhanced stormtroopers within the base, Bo-Katan, Djarin, and Grogu make a final stand against Gideon and his Praetorian Guards, in which the Darksaber is destroyed. Woves rams the Mandalorian capital ship into the Imperial base and Gideon is consumed by the resulting blast; Grogu protects Bo-Katan and Djarin from the blast with a force bubble. After the battle, the Mandalorians restart the Great Forge at the heart of Mandalore and Djarin formally adopts Grogu. Afterwards, Djarin takes up honest contract work with Carson Teva and moves into a cabin on the outskirts of Nevarro's capital, as previously offered to him by Greef Karga, while IG-11 is rebuilt by the Anzellan mechanics to serve as Nevarro's new marshal.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
After Djarin recovers, he and Bo-Katan depart Mandalore, though Bo-Katan withholds the Mythosaur's existence from him. Upon returning to Kalevala, they are attacked by Imperial TIE squads, who destroy Bo-Katan's home, and are forced to retreat to the secret Mandalorian enclave. Djarin presents the Armorer with a sample of the Living Waters as proof of his redemption, and because she has also bathed in the Waters, Bo-Katan is welcomed to the enclave as well. On Coruscant, Dr. Pershing receives a pardon by the New Republic, but is startled to find Elia Kane among the amnesty program's recipients. Kane declares to assist Pershing in his efforts to continue his cloning research, which has been outlawed by the Republic. They sneak aboard a decommissioned Star Destroyer to steal the necessary materials, but Kane betrays Pershing to the Republic's lawkeepers and later secretly sabotages the mind-wiping procedure used on him.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #25 “Siege At Yavin” is the first of a 2-part storyline involving Luke and Leia exploring some shady business surrounding the planet Yavin, near the Rebel base. Richard and Sarah discuss the comic and find FTOOM! Fast Facts - names and planets that show up later in Star Wars books, comics and films. It's fascinating the amount of material that's pulled from these original comics. Title:"SIEGE AT YAVIN" Release Date: April 24, 1979 Writer: Archi Goodwin Artwork:Carmine Infantino, Gene Day and Ben Sean Cover Art: Carmine Infantino / Bob Wiacek Synopsis: The Rebel base on Yavin is being attacked by a TIE Fighter squadron. And no one knows where they came from since there is no base or ships in the sector. Meanwhile, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker arrive at the trading world, Centares, to trade in their ship for a less traceable craft since The Empire saw them. As they leave the planet they discover that a House of Tagge Mining Explorer is on its way to Yavin. Knowing the Tagge's ties with the Empire and fearing for the security of the Rebel base on Yavin 4, they decide to follow them and investigate further. They discover that the Mining Explorer is transporting Imperial TIE fighters to Yavin and hiding the fighters in the thick gaseous atmosphere of the giant planet. Luke and Leia realize that this can only mean danger for the Rebel base and rush to alert them, but are intercepted by an Imperial patrol...
