Young Jedi Adventures - Lys and the Snowy Mountain Rescue

Lys Solay (Juliet Donenfeld),  Kai Brightstar (Jamaal Avery Jr.), and Nubs (Dee Bradley Baker) get a snowy adventure on the planet Andraven where they help locals Gumar (Liam James Ramos) and Jam (Julian Edwards) herd a group of Nubs (Dee Bradley Baker) (think tauntauns mixed with seals) over a mountain. As with all the episodes of the series, the trio of young Jedi learn a lesson in their snowy trip which is complicated first by an avalanche and later by the loss of Jam in a snowstorm. However, not loosing her cool, Lys takes a moment, calms herself, and lets the Force guide her reuniting the group and allowing them all to slide down the mountain together for a warm reception and celebration.

Star Wars #56

Star Wars #56

Staying with stories of Lando Calrissian, Star Wars Saturday takes a look back at Lando’s return to Cloud City. Published one year after The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars #56 features Lando’s return to the all but abandoned mining colony on Bespin. The only life he finds are his old friend Lobot half out of his mind and a group of Imperials led by the duplicitous Hugo Treece who are struggling in ridding the city of bombs left by the Ugnaughts (who apparently didn’t take kindly to Imperial rule).

Star Wars: The Bad Batch - The Return

“A Different Approach” picks up events with Omega (Michelle Ang) and Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker) on the run together and the new pup teaching the old dog a few new tricks as Omega takes the lead in less murdery plans on getting back to the rest of the squad. It’s a nice little episode building the comradery of the two characters even more before delivering them to a remote location in time for a reunion.

Star Wars #44

Star Wars #44

In a desperate, but ultimately successful, move to save Lobot‘s life, Lando Calrissian‘s treachery in selling information about the Rebel Alliance to Jabba the Hutt has been revealed. Rather than run from the truth, Lando has admitted his crimes. While Admiral Ackbar and General Madine seem perfectly at ease with jettisoning the traitor out of the nearest airlock, Leia makes an impassioned plea for the Rebellion to prove they are better than the Empire setting up a trial over the fate of Lando Calrissian.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Shadows of Tantiss

“Shadows of Tantiss” makes good use of a ticking tock trope using the blood sampling we saw introduced in “Confined.” With Omega‘s (Michelle Ang) blood now in the system, she’s forced to escape with Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker) before the sample is tested leading to a hurried, but ultimately successful, escape from Tantiss. However, now that the Empire knows the secret they have been searching for so relentlessly is locked in Omega’s genetic code you would expect them to redouble their efforts to capturing her again.
