It's a rare treat to get a one-and-done story in any comic these days, yet that's exactly what we have in the pages of Marvel's Star Wars (Vol. 3) #12, as Leia Organa and Kes Dameron recount to each other how they fell in love with Shara Bey and Han Solo.It's a well-paced issue that lets Charles Soule revisit, in a sense, the ties between Poe Dameron and Gen. Organa in his Poe Dameron series, while also adding more background to the relationship between Poe's parents. It concludes nicely, setting the stage for the next chapter in the "Operation Starlight Arc."In news, we discuss recently announced plans for omnibus collections featuring Darth Vader (Vol. 2) as well as the Legends-era Rise of the Sith that collects several mini-series and stories published by Dark Horse Comics.Upcoming Star Wars comics include:March 17_ Bounty Hunters #10_ Star Wars Adventures #4_ The High Republic #1 (4th Printing)March 24 _ Doctor Aphra #8March 31 _ Star Wars Adventures #5_ The High Republic #2 (3rd Printing)_ The High Republic #3 (2nd Printing)April 7_ The High Republic #4 _ The High Republic Adventures #3_ Star Wars (Vol. 3), Vol. 2, “Operation Starlight” TPBApril 14 _ Bounty Hunters #11April 21_ Doctor Aphra #9April 28_ Darth Vader #11_ The Empire Strikes Back — The 40th Anniversary Covers by Chris Sprouse #1May 5 _ War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha #1_ War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha #1 (Director’s Cut) _ The High Republic Adventures #4_ Guardian of the Whills: The Manga May 12 _ Star Wars #13_ The High Republic #5May 19 _ Bounty Hunters #12May 26 _ Darth Vader #12_ Doctor Aphra #10_ Star Wars Adventures: Weapon of a Jedi (1 of 2)_ Star Wars Adventures #9_ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Old Republic, Vol. 4June_ War of the Bounty Hunters #1June 9_ Bounty Hunters, Vol. 2, “Target Valance” TPBJune 23 _ Star Wars Adventures (Vol. 2), “The Light & the Dark” TPB_ Darth Vader (Vol. 3), Vol. 2, “Into the Fire” TPBJuly 7_ Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic Omnibus Vol. 1_ The Phantom Menace Graphic Novel Adaptation from IDW Announced But as Yet Unscheduled Comics _ The Mandalorian titles from Marvel & IDW

We thought it apt for our final episode of 2020 to end the year by looking forward to 2021 and the upcoming Star Wars event, The High Republic, in a wide ranging yet remarkably spoiler-free interview with artist Harvey Tolibao (https://twitter.com/harveytolibao/), who's illustrating IDW's The High Republic Adventures.Tolibao talks about how he was tapped to illustrate the IDW series, his excitement and how he's adapting to being involved in this next major step for Star Wars. We also delve into his comics history, efforts at education and outreach, his studio (www.behance.net/htmstudios) and the rich history of Filipino creatives and comics.It's no secret that Lucasfilm and Disney's High Republic Era is poised to launch a new epoch of Star Wars storytelling. The effort is taking root across books, short stories, novellas and of course comics, with two separate yet interlinked titles from Marvel (Star Wars: The High Republic starting Jan. 6) and IDW (Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures starting Feb. 3).Upcoming Star Wars comics include:Jan. 6_ Star Wars #10_ Star Wars: The High Republic #1 _ Darth Vader #7 (2nd Printing)Jan. 13 _ Darth Vader #9 _ Star Wars Adventures #3Jan. 20 _ Doctor Aphra #7Jan. 27 _ Bounty Hunters #9 _ Star Wars Adventures: Smuggler’s Run #2 (of 2)_ Star Wars: The High Republic #1 (2nd Printing)_ Star Wars Adventures #4_ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2), Vol. 1, “Fortune and Fate” TPB _ Beware Vader’s Castle (Collects Tales From Vader’s Castle and Return to Vader’s Castle mini-series) HC _ Star Wars Adventures, Vol. 11, “Rise of the Wookiees” TPB _ Star Wars Adventures: The Clone Wars — Battle Tales TPBFeb. 3 _ Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures #1_ Star Wars #11_ Star Wars: The High Republic #2 Feb. 10 _ Darth Vader #10_ The Phantom Menace Graphic Novel Adaptation from IDW _ Star Wars Insider #200 (Peach Momoko Cover)Feb. 17 _ Star Wars Adventures #5_ Star Wars Adventures #6_ The Rise of Skywalker Graphic Novel Adaptation TPB (IDW)Feb. 24 _ Doctor Aphra Omnibus HC_ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: “The New Republic,” Vol. 5 TPBMarch 3 _ Star Wars: The High Republic #3_ Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures #2March 10_ Star Wars #12March 17_ Bounty Hunters #10_ Star Wars Adventures #7March 24 _ Doctor Aphra #8April 7_ Star Wars (Vol. 3), Vol. 2, “Tarkin’s Will” TPBJuly 7_ Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic Omnibus Vol. 1 Announced But as Yet Unscheduled Comics _ The Mandalorian titles from Marvel & IDW
Marvel's Bounty Hunters steps into a new story arc that, despite all odds, manages to draw in characters from The Mandalorian and The Force Awakens while calling back to prior events in the Han Solo: Imperial Cadet mini-series. The story, by Ethan J. Sacks, Paolo Villanelli, Arif Prianto and Travis Lanham doesn't skip a beat in what's proven to be Marvel's most kinetic Star Wars comics title.From IDW comes Star Wars Adventures: Smuggler's Run #1, the first of a two-part mini-series that adapts the Greg Rucka novella of the same name and is itself a reprint of the four-issue series that was published in Germany. Adapted by Alec Worley, illustrated by Ingo Römling, lettered by Amauri Osorio and translated by Edward Gauvin, it's a rousing story about Han Solo and Chewbacca on a mission to recover a Rebel asset at Princess Leia's behest. We loved the art and the exposition and are eager for issue #2.As for news, it's all The High Republic all the time, what with new covers, a 2nd printing for issue #1 announced before the 1st printing is even released, and more.Upcoming Star Wars comics:Dec. 30 _ Star Wars Adventures #3 Jan. 6_ Star Wars #10_ Star Wars: The High Republic #1 _ Darth Vader #7 (2nd Printing)Jan. 13 _ Darth Vader #9Jan. 20 _ Doctor Aphra #7Jan. 27 _ Bounty Hunters #9 _ Star Wars Adventures: Smuggler’s Run #2 (of 2)_ Star Wars: The High Republic #1 (2nd Printing)_ Star Wars Adventures #4_ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2), Vol. 1, “Fortune and Fate” TPB _ Beware Vader’s Castle (Collects Tales From Vader’s Castle and Return to Vader’s Castle mini-series) HC _ Star Wars Adventures, Vol. 11, “Rise of the Wookiees” TPB _ Star Wars Adventures: The Clone Wars — Battle Tales TPBFeb. 3 _ Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures #1_ Star Wars #11_ Star Wars: The High Republic #2 Feb. 10 _ Darth Vader #10_ The Phantom Menace Graphic Novel Adaptation from IDW _ Star Wars Insider #200 (Peach Momoko Cover)Feb. 17 _ Star Wars Adventures #5_ Star Wars Adventures #6_ The Rise of Skywalker Graphic Novel Adaptation TPB (IDW)Feb. 24 _ Doctor Aphra Omnibus HC_ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: “The New Republic,” Vol. 5 TPBMarch 3 _ Star Wars: The High Republic #3March 10_ Star Wars #12March 17_ Bounty Hunters #10March 24 _ Doctor Aphra #8April 7_ Star Wars (Vol. 3), Vol. 2, “Tarkin’s Will” TPBJuly 7_ Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic Omnibus Vol. 1 Announced But as Yet Unscheduled Comics _ The Mandalorian titles from Marvel & IDW

Just one issue this episode, but Darth Vader #6 is an exercise in the use of force and dominance to bend one's will -- or, in this case, to rebend it. The start of a new arc, it's a fast-paced page-turner of an issue, focusing on the lengths that Emperor Palpatine is willing to go to ensure Darth Vader is brought to heel.The issue also delivers the promised Sequel Trilogy content, too, a surprise that was offset by last week's January solicits.In news, we look to January's Star Wars comics, update on the latest scheduling changes at IDW and more.Upcoming Star Wars comics, include:Oct. 21 _ Bounty Hunters #6 Oct. 27_ Leia, Princess of Alderaan, Vol. 1, Manga (Hope Yen Press)Oct. 28 _ Doctor Aphra #5 _ From the Journals of Obi-Wan Kenobi TPBNov. 4 _ Star Wars #8 _ Shadow of Vader’s Castle One-Shot _ Star Wars Adventures #2 _ Star Wars Rebels, Vol. 1 (Manga from Yen Press) _ Bounty Hunters #5 2nd PrintingNov. 11_ Darth Vader #7 _ Star Wars Adventures Annual 2020 _ Star Wars (Vol. 3), Vol. 1: The Destiny Path TPBNov. 18 _ Bounty Hunters #7Nov. 25 _ Doctor Aphra #6 _ Star Wars Adventures #3_ Bounty Hunters, Vol. 1: Galaxy’s Deadliest TPB _ Darth Vader (Vol. 3), Vol. 1: Dark Heart of the Sith TPB _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: Tales of the Jedi, Vol. 1 TPB Dec. 2 _ TBDDec. 9 _ Star Wars #9 Dec. 16 _ Darth Vader #8 _ Star Wars Adventures #4 _ Star Wars Adventures, Vol. 11, Rise of the Wookiees TPBDec. 23 _ Star Wars Adventures: Smuggler’s Run #1 _ Bounty Hunters #8Dec. 30 _ Beware Vader’s Castle (Collects Tales From Vader’s Castle and Return to Vader’s Castle mini-series) HC _ The Clone Wars — Battle Tales TPB January _ Star Wars #10 _ Doctor Aphra #7 _ Darth Vader #9 _ Bounty Hunters #9Jan. 27 _ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2), Vol. 1, Fortune and Fate TPBFebruary _ Star Wars: The High Republic from IDW (Date TBD) Feb. 10 _ The Phantom Menace Graphic Novel Adaptation from IDWFeb. 17 _ The Rise of Skywalker Graphic Novel Adaptation TPB (IDW)Feb. 24 _ Doctor Aphra Omnibus HC Announced But as Yet Unscheduled Comics :_ The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation by Marvel (5-issue mini-series)_ The High Republic series from Marvel _ The Mandalorian titles from Marvel & IDW
A new start for Star Wars Adventures and a new arc in Marvel's flagship Star Wars as we officially mark 200 episodes of talking about Star Wars comics week in and week out. (Is anybody out there?)Our discussion about the relaunch of Star Wars Adventures is an abbreviated one, given we'll have a full review with the Young Padawans in an episode to come shortly, but we like what we see, with the Sequel Trilogy-era getting the red-carpet treatment in a story featuring Rey, Finn and Poe. We're also digging the Tales of Villainy backup, too, and marveled at the new look at the Imperial attack on Echo Base that was seen in The Empire Strikes Back.As for Star Wars #7, there are clever nods to events to come and those that have already happened (hello Poe Dameron #30 and hi there upcoming High Republic comics!), not to mention a deliciously woven story that calls back to the Tarkin novel.In news, we look at the dueling sales charts for August from Diamond and Comichron, along with scheduling changes to some IDW titles.Upcoming Star Wars comics include:Oct. 14 _ Darth Vader #6 Oct. 21 _ Star Wars Adventures #2 _ Bounty Hunters #6 _ Shadow of Vader’s Castle One-ShotOct. 27_ Leia, Princess of Alderaan, Vol. 1, Manga (Hope Yen Press)Oct. 28 _ Doctor Aphra #5 _ From the Journals of Obi-Wan Kenobi TPBNov. 4 _ Star Wars #8 _ Star Wars Adventures Annual 2020 _ Star Wars Rebels, Vol. 1 (Manga from Yen Press) _ Bounty Hunters #5 2nd PrintingNov. 11_ Darth Vader #7 _ Star Wars (Vol. 3), Vol. 1: The Destiny Path TPBNov. 18 _ Bounty Hunters #7Nov. 25 _ Doctor Aphra #6 _ Star Wars Adventures #3_ Bounty Hunters, Vol. 1: Galaxy’s Deadliest TPB _ Darth Vader (Vol. 3), Vol. 1: Dark Heart of the Sith TPB _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: Tales of the Jedi, Vol. 1 TPB Dec. 2 _ Star Wars Adventures #4Dec. 9 _ Star Wars #9 Dec. 16 _ Darth Vader #8 _ Star Wars Adventures, Vol. 11, Rise of the Wookiees TPBDec. 23 _ Star Wars Adventures: Smuggler’s Run #1 _ Bounty Hunters #8Dec. 30 _ Doctor Aphra #7 _ Beware Vader’s Castle (Collects Tales From Vader’s Castle and Return to Vader’s Castle mini-series) HC _ The Clone Wars — Battle Tales TPBJan. 27 _ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2), Vol. 1, Fortune and Fate TPBFebruary _ Star Wars: The High Republic from IDW (Date TBD) Feb. 10 _ The Phantom Menace Graphic Novel Adaptation from IDWFeb. 17 _ The Rise of Skywalker Graphic Novel Adaptation TPB (IDW)Feb. 24 _ Doctor Aphra Omnibus HC Announced But as Yet Unscheduled Comics _ The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation by Marvel (5-issue mini-series)_ The High Republic series from Marvel _ The Mandalorian titles from Marvel & IDW

Today's episode centers on Marvel's Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #5, an action-oriented romp sure to appeal to fans of Boba Fett as the first arc of the series comes to a conclusion, albeit, in our minds, one issue too soon.While not as controversial as the preceding issue, this one's likely to cause some consternation.Yet the story does come full circle as the antagonist turned protagonist Nakano Lash lays bare why she turned the initial outing by herself, Valance, Boba Fett, Bossk and T'ongor into such an explosive mess, even as she girds for a future where she's not around.In news, we're discussing plans for Marvel and IDW's "The High Republic" comics, the pandemic-enveloped sales figures for May, June and July as well as December's Star Wars comics solicits.Upcoming Star Wars comics include:Sept. 30 _ Doctor Aphra #4 _ Star Wars Adventures: The Clone Wars — Battle Tales #5 Oct. 7 _ Star Wars Adventures (Vol. 2) #1 _ Star Wars #7 _ Leia, Princess of Alderaan, Vol. 1, Manga (Hope Yen Press)Oct. 14 _ Darth Vader #6 _ Shadow of Vader’s Castle One-ShotOct. 21 _ Star Wars Adventures #2 _ Bounty Hunters #6Oct. 28 _ Doctor Aphra #5 _ From the Journals of Obi-Wan Kenobi TPBNov. 4 _ Star Wars #8 _ Star Wars Adventures Annual 2020 _ Star Wars Rebels, Vol. 1 (Manga from Yen Press)Nov. 11_ Darth Vader #7 _ Star Wars (Vol. 3), Vol. 1: The Destiny Path TPBNov. 18 _ Bounty Hunters #7Nov. 25 _ Doctor Aphra #6 _ Star Wars Adventures #3_ Bounty Hunters, Vol. 1: Galaxy’s Deadliest TPB _ Darth Vader (Vol. 3), Vol. 1: Dark Heart of the Sith TPB _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: Tales of the Jedi, Vol. 1 TPB _ The Rise of Skywalker Graphic Novel Adaptation TPB (IDW)Dec. 2 _ Star Wars Adventures #4Dec. 9 _ Star Wars #9 _ The Clone Wars — Battle Tales TPBDec. 16 _ Darth Vader #8 _ Bounty Hunters #8 _ Star Wars Adventures, Vol. 11, Rise of the Wookiees TPBDec. 23 _ Star Wars Adventures: Smuggler’s Run #1Dec. 30 _ Doctor Aphra #7 _ Beware Vader’s Castle (Collects Tales From Vader’s Castle and Return to Vader’s Castle mini-series) HCJan. 27 _ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2), Vol. 1, Fortune and Fate TPBFebruary _ Star Wars: The High Republic from IDW (Date TBD) Feb. 10 _ The Phantom Menace Graphic Novel Adaptation from IDWFeb. 24 _ Doctor Aphra Omnibus HC Announced But as Yet Unscheduled Comics _ The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation by Marvel (5-issue mini-series)_ The High Republic series from Marvel _ The Mandalorian titles from Marvel & IDW
This week's episode brings us a pair of weighty issues as we conclude the first of Star Wars (Vol. 3) and Darth Vader (Vol. 3) with a pair of issues (#6 and #5, respectively) that meld both the traditional lore of the Star Wars Saga with callouts to 2021's The High Republic era as well and even the 2017 film, The Last Jedi.Each issue takes the fundamental basis of loss, regret and resentment and folds it into something bigger and wide, but without losing sight of the characters' development process.As for news, there's info about the upcoming Marvel High Republic comic series, new release dates of IDW titles and Jim Mello's latest twitter-based short stories (https://twitter.com/astarwarsmoment),Upcoming Star Wars comics include:Sept. 23_ Bounty Hunters #5 _ Star Wars Adventures: The Clone Wars — Battle Tales #5 _ Bounty Hunters #2 (2nd Printing)Sept. 30 _ Doctor Aphra #4 Oct. 7 _ Star Wars Adventures (Vol. 2) #1 _ Star Wars #7 _ Leia, Princess of Alderaan, Vol. 1, Manga (Hope Yen Press)Oct. 14 _ Darth Vader #6 _ Shadow of Vader’s Castle One-ShotOct. 21 _ Star Wars Adventures (Vol. 2) #2 _ Bounty Hunters #6Oct. 28 _ Doctor Aphra #5 _ From the Journals of Obi-Wan Kenobi TPBNov. 4 _ Star Wars #8 _ Star Wars Adventures Annual 2020 _ Star Wars Rebels, Vol. 1 (Manga from Yen Press)Nov. 11_ Darth Vader #7 _ Star Wars (Vol. 3), Vol. 1: The Destiny Path TPBNov. 18 _ Bounty Hunters #7Nov. 25 _ Doctor Aphra #6 _ Star Wars Adventures (Vol. 2) #3_ Bounty Hunters, Vol. 1: Galaxy’s Deadliest TPB _ Darth Vader (Vol. 3), Vol. 1: Dark Heart of the Sith TPB _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: Tales of the Jedi, Vol. 1 TPB _ The Rise of Skywalker Graphic Novel Adaptation TPB (IDW)Dec. 9 _ The Clone Wars — Battle Tales TPBDec. 16 _ Star Wars Adventures, Vol. 11, Rise of the Wookiees TPBDec. 30 _ Beware Vader’s Castle (Collects Tales From Vader’s Castle and Return to Vader’s Castle mini-series) HCFeb. 24 _ Doctor Aphra Omnibus HC Announced But as Yet Unscheduled Comics _ The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation by Marvel (5-issue mini-series)_ The High Republic comics from Marvel & IDW _ The Mandalorian titles from Marvel & IDW
