In this episode, we sat down with journalist and comics writer Ethan Sacks to talk about his stories for Marvel's Star Wars comics, including the debut of this week's Halcyon Legacy mini-series, not to mention his stories from the Mace Windu tale in Age of Republic Special, Allegiance, Galaxy's Edge and, of course, the monthly Bounty Hunters. A journalist whose career included a lengthy stint at the New York Daily News, along with writing for NBC News now, he tells us how he got into writing comics, what it was like crafting not just the Galaxy's Edge five-issue mini-series, but the upcoming Halcyon Legacy five-issue mini with artist Will Sliney.

With four issues out today, it's a longer-than-normal podcast, but the extra time is well spent, given the foundations laid in the pages of The High Republic -- Eye of the Storm #1 (of 2) that details how Marchion Ro became who he is and, along with him, the Nihil. In Bounty Hunters #20, it seems that Gands not only have a divine sense of awareness, but hearts that are easy to break. It's a well-crafted story that sees Zuckuss pining for his dearest friend, 4-LOM. Will he find him and can he subvert the droid's new protocols that are aimed at taking the Gand's life?In the penultimate issue of The High Republic Adventures, the bond between Zeen and Lula is strengthened, even as each of them realize that moving on may moving apart. It's a heartening chapter in this series and worth your time.Finally, in Star Wars #20, legends are made real and the mystical aspects of Star Wars that Charles Soule explored in his Darth Vader run gets a light-side exploration that portends so many intriguing notions and concepts.Upcoming Star Wars comics include:Jan. 19 | The High Republic #13, Doctor Aphra #18, The High Republic Adventures — Galactic Bake-Off SpectacularJan. 25 | Ghosts of Vader's Castle TPB (Collects #1-5)Jan. 26 | Trail of Shadows #4 (of 5)Feb. 2 | Crimson Reign #2 (of 5), The High Republic #14, Halcyon Legacy #1 (of 5), Star Wars Adventures #14Feb. 8 | Star Wars Legends: Rise of the Sith Omnibus (Collects Star Wars: Jedi -- The Dark Side #1-5, Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan -- Last Stand on Ord Mantell 1-3, Jedi Council -- Acts of War 1-4, Star Wars (1998) 0-6, Darth Maul 1-4, Episode I: The Phantom Menace 1/2, 1-4, Anakin Skywalker, Queen Amidala, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi and material from Star Wars Tales 1, 3, 5, 7, 9-10, 13-14, 20 and 24)Feb. 9 | Darth Vader #20, Trail of Shadows #5, The High Republic Adventures #13, Crimson Reign #1 (of 5) 2nd PrintingFeb. 16 | Eye of the Storm #2 (of 2)Feb. 22 | The High Republic Adventures, Vol. 2, TPB collecting #6-8, the 2021 Free Comic Book Day story and the 2021 AnnualFeb. 23 | The High Republic #15March 2 | Star Wars #21March 9 | Halcyon Legacy #2 (of 5), Crimson Reign #3 (of 5), Han Solo & Chewbacca #1March 15 | Star Wars Legends: Legacy, Vol. 4 ( Collects Legacy (2013) #1-18 and material from Star Wars Tales #19 and Star Wars Visionaries)March 16 | Bounty Hunters #21, Doctor Aphra #19March 23 | Darth Vader #21March 30 | Star Wars #22, Halcyon Legacy #3April 12 | Trail of Shadows TPB (Collects #1-5), Darth Vader (Vol. 1) Omnibus (New Printing) (Collects #1-25, Annual #1, Vader Down and Star Wars (Vol. 1) 13-14)April 19 | The High Republic, Vol. 3, “Jedi's End” TPB (Collects #11-15)April 26 | Star Wars (Vol. 2), Omnibus (Vol. 1) New Printing (Collects Star Wars #1-37, Darth Vader (Vol. 1) #15-15, The Screaming Citadel, Doctor Aphra (Vol. 1) #7-8 and Star Wars Annual #1-3)May 3 | Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: Tales of the Jedi, Vol. 2 (Collects Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi – The Golden Age of the Sith #0-5, Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi – The Fall of the Sith Empire #1-5, Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi #1-5, Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi – The Freedon Nadd Uprising #1-2); Star Wars Legends: The Empire Omnibus, Vol. 1 (Collects Republic #78-80, Purge, Purge — Seconds to Die, Purge — The Hidden Blade, Purge — The Tyrant's Fist #1-2, Darth Vader and the Lost Command #1-5, Dark Times #1-17, Dark Times — Blue Harvest #0, Dark Times — Out of the Wilderness #1-5 and Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison #1-5)May 17 | Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Clone Wars, Vol. 4 (Collects Free Comic Book Day 2005: Star Wars #1, Star Wars: Darth Maul – Son of Dathomir #1-4, Star Wars: Republic #74-77 and 81-83, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith #1-4, Star Wars: Tag & Bink II #2, material from Star Wars Visionaries #1 and Star Wars Tales #4May 24 | The High Republic -- Edge of Balance, Vol. 2 (Manga)June 7 | Bounty Hunters, Vol. 4, "Crimson Reign"June 14 | Darth Vader (Vol. 3) Vol. 4, "Crimson Reign"; Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) Vol. 4, "Crimson Reign"July 5 | Crimson Reign TPB (Collects Crimson Reign #1-5)July 12 | Galactic Starcruiser: Halcyon Legacy TPB (Collects Halcyon Legacy #1-5); Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Empire, Vol. 7July 19 | 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, 23Aug. 2 | 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)

Valance Beilert is razor-focused, not so much on serving Lord Vader, but keep Cadeliah safe while T'Onga and Losha's band of bounty hunters -- Zuckuss, Tasu Leech and Bossk -- are striving to make sense of a criminal underworld upended by the return of Crimson Dawn in a taught and action-intense Bounty Hunters #19.In Star Wars Adventures #13, the IDW series' penultimate issue, Rey, Finn, Chewbacca and BB-8 ferry a Resistance asset who's being pursued by a pernicious bounty hunter in the employ of the First Order. The second story, by Danny Lore, is a suspenseful and well-paced narrative of three Jedi Temple caretakers who discover Darth Vader has arrived and is heading for them.Also, giveawaway time!

The next episodes that we chat about on our Clone Wars Talk series are included in the Dark Horse / Marvel Comics trade paper back "Star Wars: Darth Maul - Son of Dathomir". This comic book adapted the next arc of four episodes which belonged to either season 6/7 from Star Wars The Clone Wars. Thanks to this story arc, a large gap is filled, the last time we saw Maul he was being tortured by Palpatine on Mandalore. What happened to him? Let's find out before watching the final season of The Clone Wars. We also honor the un-produced episodes today that were never adapted into another format. We chat about where some of these un-produced arc's would have gone, how they would've been. You can listen to Dave and Pablo talk about these in the links below from various conventions. 2015 The Untold Clone Wars Panel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yKM6RExLlI2015 The Untold Clone Wars Panel Summary Live Blog with Pics: https://www.starwars.com/news/swca-the-untold-clone-wars-panel-liveblog Cad Bane vs Boba Fett: https://youtu.be/85Jw-63YNYI?t=2645Thanks to The Clone Wars Legacy and all these past events we are one step closer to a clearer picture of the complete clone wars vision.

Star Wars: Darth Maul - Son of Dathomir: Getting cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi and being rejected by his former Sith Master Darth Sidious isn't going to defeat Darth Maul.
