Yoda pulls an all-too familiar Jedi move by walking away when the results aren't what was expected yet pulls a humility shocker by returning to the Scalvi people he abandoned in Yoda #3 (of 4). In The Blade #2 (of 4), Porter Engle and Barash play it cool and level-headed, to a certain point, as a siege situation quickly spirals out of control. In Doctor Aphra #28, Sana Starros and the crew learn the finer points of corporate raiding and takeovers as Domina Tagge shows why any acquisition, no matter how hostile, is nothing but smoke and mirrors.Comics out today and broken down on this week's episode:_ Yoda #3 (of 10) (9:58)_ The Blade #2 (of 4) (28:08)_ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) #28 (49:28)Star Wars Comics on Marvel Unlimited This Week:_ Darth Vader (Vol. 3) #28News_ Marvel's Doctor Aphra Series is among the nominees for the 34th GLAAD Awards in the Outstanding Comic Book Category._ April solicits are out for Marvel and Dark Horse.

After five books the week prior, we're down to just one new Star Wars comic this week -- Star Wars (Vol. 3) #30 -- but the lone title has much to offer in terms of advancing the story arc as well as linking to Lucasfilm's ambitious new era, The High Republic.Featuring classic Original Trilogy stalwarts, Lando, Leia, Luke and Chewbacca, along with the Sequel Trilogy's Amilyn Holdo, the Rebels are adrift in No-Space in a bid to find fuel for the Rebellion. What transpires is a confrontation with Nihil droids and a surprising final page that leads into the next issue.Comics out today and broken down on this week's episode:_ Star Wars #30 (6:01)_ The High Republic #2 (2nd Printing)_ The Mandalorian #5 (2nd Printing)Star Wars Comics on Marvel Unlimited This Week:_ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) #24_ Han Solo & Chewbaca #6 (of 10)News_ It's a new year!Upcoming Star Wars comics, TPBs and omnibus editions:Jan. 10 _ Darth Vader (Vol. 3), Vol. 5: The Shadow's Shadow TPB (Collects #23-27Jan. 11 _ Darth Vader #30, The Mandalorian #7 (of 8), The High Republic #4 (of 10), The High Republic Adventures #2 (of 8), Hidden Empire #1 (2nd Printing)Jan. 18 _ Bounty Hunters #30, Han Solo & Chewbacca #9 (of 10), Revelations #1 (2nd Printing), Yoda #1 (2nd Printing)Jan. 24 _ Star Wars Legends: The New Republic Vol. 1 Omnibus (Collects Star Wars: Mara Jade - By the Emperor's Hand #0-6, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire - Evolution #1-5, Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Leader #1-3, Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron #1-35, Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron Special #1, Star Wars Handbook #1 and material from Star Wars Tales #10, 12, 15, 23)Jan. 25 _ The Blade #2 (of 4), Doctor Aphra #28, Yoda #3 (of 10), The High Republic Adventures #3 (of 8)Jan. 31 _ Doctor Aphra Omnibus, Vol. 1 (2nd Printing) (Collects Doctor Aphra (Vol. 1), #1-40; Annuals #1-3; Darth Vader (2015) #3-4, 8, 21, 25; Star Wars (2015) #13, 19, #31-32; The Screaming Citadel #1; and material from Empire Ascendant #1); Bounty Hunters, Vol. 5 "The Raid on the Vermillion" TPB (Collects #23-28)Feb. 1 _ Sana Starros #1 (of 5), Hyperspace Stories #4 (of 12)Feb. 7 _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Menace Revealed, Vol. 3 (Collects Star Wars #36-45, Star Wars: Jedi Quest #1-4, Star Wars: Jango Fett #1, Star Wars: Zam Wesell #1)Feb. 8 _ The High Republic #5, Hidden Empire #3, Darth Vader #31Feb. 15 _ Star Wars #31, Bounty Hunters #31, The Mandalorian #8 (of 8), Hyperspace Stories #5 (of 12)Feb. 22 _ The Blade #3 (of 4), Doctor Aphra #29, Yoda #4 (of 10), The High Republic Adventures #4 (of 8), The Nameless Terror #1 (of 4)March 1 _ The High Republic Adventures -- Quest of the Jedi #1 One-Shot, Star Wars #32, Hidden Empire #4 (of 5), Han Solo & Chewbacca #10 (of 10)March 7 _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Old Republic, Vol. 5, TPB (Collects Star Wars: Knight Errant 1-5, Knight Errant -- Deluge 1-5, Knight Errant -- Escape 1-5, Star Wars: Jedi vs. Sith 1-6 and material from Star Wars Tales #16)March 8 _ Bounty Hunters #32, Sana Starros #2 (of 5), The High Republic #6 (of 10)March 14 _ Star Wars Legends: The Rebellion Omnibus Vol. 1.

It's feast day for Star Wars comics this week with three new comics -- the Revelations one-shot, Yoda #1 (of 10) and Hyperspace Stories #3 (of 12) -- and the Tales From the Rancor Pit original graphic novel.As a result, this is a longer episode than normal, but it should offer up some guidance, particularly where Marc Guggenheim's Revelations one-shot is concerned. Meanwhile, Hyperspace Stories #3 captures the endearing aspect of Finn and Poe perfectly, while we're treated to a side of Yoda that's rarely seen. Rancor Pit is creepy and fun and continues the tradition of Star Wars horror.Comics out today and broken down on this week's episode:_ Yoda #1 (8:38)_ Star Wars: Revelations #1 (30:10)_ Tales From the Rancor Pit (57:38)_ Hyperspace Stories #3 (of 12) (01:12:40)Star Wars Comics on Marvel Unlimited This Week:_ Star Wars #26_ The Mandalorian #2 (of 8)News_ Marvel will celebrate the 40th anniversary of "Return of the Jedi" with a series of one-shots, the first of which, "Jabba's Palace" is due out March 1._ Several delays to Dark Horse's titles._ Star Wars: Hidden Empire #1 (of 5) is getting a 2nd printing, including an Art Adams ratio variant.

Before we begin, we had some audio-quality issues that couldn't be surmounted. For that, we apologize.Major week for Star Wars comics, what with the launch of Hidden Empire #1 (of 5), the third and final part of the "Soule Trilogy" that, if the debut is any indicator, is going to be a wild ride filled with nods to legends and lore while setting up the next step for Qi'ra.In Doctor Aphra #26, the Spark Eternal is seemingly garnering more power in a frenetic story that may well leave readers gasping for air by the last page.In Han Solo & Chewbacca #7 (of 10), Phaedra steps up and into a greater role as Maz Kanata helps advance a daring plan to bust themselves, and Chewbacca, out of prison. What of Han? Read the book to find out.Comics out today and broken down on this week's episode:_ Han Solo & Chewbacca #7 (of 10) (5:35)_ Doctor Aphra #26 (21:20)_ HIdden Empire #1 (of 5) (36:33)Star Wars Comics on Marvel Unlimited This Week:_ Han Solo & Chewbacca #5 (of 10)_ Bounty Hunters #26Upcoming comics, graphic novels and omnibuses:Nov. 22 _ Han Solo & Chewbacca, Vol. 1, "The Crystal Run, Part One" TPB (Collects #1-5, Star Wars: Life Day One-Shot)Nov. 23 _ Star Wars: Revelations #1 (One-Shot), Yoda #1 (of 10), Hyperspace Stories #3 (of 12), The High Republic #1 (2nd Printing), Star Wars: Visions #1 (2nd Printing), Tales From the Rancor PitNov. 30 _ Darth Vader #29, The High Republic Adventures (Vol. 2) #1 (of 8)Dec. 6 _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Rebellion, Vol. 5 (Collects Star Wars: Splinter of the Mind's Eye #1-4, Star Wars: Shadow Stalker #1, Star Wars: Rebel Heist #1-4, Star Wars: A Valentine Story #1, Classic Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back #1-2, Star Wars: Tag and Bink Are Dead #2; material from Star Wars Tales #4-6, 15-17, 20)Dec. 7 _ Bounty Hunters #29, Hidden Empire #2 (of 5), Hyperspace Stories #4 (of 12)Dec. 13 _ Obi-Wan: A Jedi's Purpose TPB (Collects #1-5); War of the Bounty Hunters Omnibus (Collects War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha, War of the Bounty Hunters #1-5, WotBH -- Jabba, WotBH -- 4-LOM & Zuckuss, WotBH -- Boushh, WotBH -- IG-88, Doctor Aphra #10-15, Darth Vader #12-17, Bounty Hunters #12-17 and Star Wars #13-18)Dec. 14 _ The Mandalorian #6 (of 8)Dec. 21 _ The High Republic #3Dec. 27 _ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2), Vol. 5 The Spark Eternal TPB (Collects #21-25)Dec. 28 _ Doctor Aphra #27, Han Solo & Chewbacca #8 (of 10), Yoda #2 (of 10), The Nameless Terror #1 (of 4), The High Republic Adventures #2 (of 8), The Blade #1 (of 4)2023Jan. 4 _ Star Wars #30, The High Republic #4, The High Republic #2 (2nd Printing), The Mandalorian #5 (2nd Printing)Jan. 10 _ Darth Vader (Vol. 3), Vol. 5: The Shadow's Shadow TPB (Collects #23-27Jan. 11 _ Darth Vader #30, The Mandalorian #7 (of 8), Hyperspace Stories #5 (of 12), Hidden Empire #1 (2nd Printing)Jan. 17 _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Menace Revealed, Vol. 3 (Collects Star Wars #36-45, Star Wars: Jedi Quest #1-4, Star Wars: Jango Fett #1, Star Wars: Zam Wesell #1)Jan. 18 _ Bounty Hunters #30, Han Solo & Chewbacca #9 (of 10)Jan. 24 _ Star Wars Legends: The New Republic Vol. 1 Omnibus (Collects Star Wars: Mara Jade - By the Emperor's Hand #0-6, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire - Evolution #1-5, Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Leader #1-3, Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron #1-35, Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron Special #1, Star Wars Handbook #1 and material from Star Wars Tales #10, 12, 15, 23)Jan. 25 _ The Blade #2 (of 4), Doctor Aphra #28, Yoda #3 (of 10), The High Republic Adventures #3 (of 8)Jan. 31 _ Doctor Aphra Omnibus, Vol. 1 (2nd Printing) (Collects Doctor Aphra (Vol. 1), #1-40; Annuals #1-3; Darth Vader (2015) #3-4, 8, 21, 25; Star Wars (2015) #13, 19, #31-32; The Screaming Citadel #1; and material from Empire Ascendant #1); Bounty Hunters, Vol. 5 "The Raid on the Vermillion" TPB (Collects #23-28)Feb. 1 _ Sana Starros #1 (of 5)Feb. 8 _ The High Republic #5, Hidden Empire #3, Darth Vader #31, Hyperspace Stories #6 (of 12)Feb. 15 _ Star Wars #31, Bounty Hunters #31, The Mandalorian #8 (of 8)Feb. 22 _ The Blade #3 (of 4), Doctor Aphra #29, Yoda #4 (of 10), The Nameless Terror #2 (of 4), The High Republic Adventures #4 (of 8)March 1 _ The High Republic Adventures -- Quest of the Jedi #1 One-Shot, Jabba's Palace #1 (One-Shot), Star Wars #32, Hidden Empire #4 (of 5), Han Solo & Chewbacca #10 (of 10)March 7 _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Old Republic, Vol. 5, TPB (Collects Star Wars: Knight Errant 1-5, Knight Errant -- Deluge 1-5, Knight Errant -- Escape 1-5, Star Wars: Jedi vs. Sith 1-6 and material from Star Wars Tales #16)March 14 _ Star Wars Legends: The Rebellion Omnibus Vol. 1.
