Darth Vader: Black, White & Red #2

The second issue of the black-and-white anthology continues the ongoing story of “Hard Shutdown” with a captive Darth Vader turning the tables on his would be tormentor Dr. Sendvall who may have found a way to immobilize the robotics of the Dark Lord of the Sith but foolishly underestimated the power of the Force (which is fun, but you wouldn’t miss much from the larger story by skipping the issue).

Young Jedi Adventures – Nash’s Race Day

  • Title: Young Jedi Adventures – Nash’s Race Day
  • wiki: link

In an episode about good sportsmanship and not cheating, Kai Brightstar (Jamaal Avery Jr.), Lys Solay (Juliet Donenfeld), and Nubs (Dee Bradley Baker) join Nash Durango (Emma Berman) onboard her skiff the Crimson Bolt in an attempt to win the Kublop Classic race. Nash’s rival, the rich and super-competitive Raena Zess (Danielle Guilbot), is the group’s only real competition. Presented as a mean girl, who cheats to win, the episode softens on her when she learns the Jedi weren’t using the Force to help Nash leading to a final stretch of honest racing and good sportsmanship all around. While the shift in Raena might give you whiplash, there’s a nice message here for kids.
