Darth Vader #20

Using the list provided, Darth Vader begins killing off suspected members of Crimson Dawn. Knowing that only half the list is accurate before starting to paint a bloody swath all the way to the Emperor’s own chambers doesn’t deter the Dark Lord of the Sith. Is this something he’s proving to his Master, or to himself?

The comic also sees the return of the former handmaiden Sabé who has joined Crimson Dawn basically to fuck with Vader (she’s the one who is responsible for the flawed list) and to keep better tabs on his movements. Still having questions about Vader’s connection to Padmé Amidala, Sabé finds the birthing chamber and droid which reveals that Anakin Skywalker had a son and that Vader is hunting him. However, a very big piece of that puzzle has still yet to reveal itself to her.

  • wiki: link

Another episode that primarily focuses on an extended flashback, “Chapter 4” offers us Boba Fett‘s (Temuera Morrison) discovery of the wounded Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen), his decision to save her life, and the beginnings of the pair’s working relationship involving reclaiming Slave I from Jabba’s Palace and taking some revenge on both the Kintan Striders and the Sarlaac. Sneaking into, and escaping from, Jabba’s Palace is given the most time in the episode getting us closer and closer to who Boba was at the time of his first appearance in The Mandalorian.

Star Wars: Halcyon Legacy #1

The times are different, but the setting remains the same. Star Wars: Halcyon Legacy #1 introduces us to the luxury cruise ship Halcyon which has a habit of inviting trouble over the years.

In the present, pirates under the command of Crimson Jack arrive looking for a Resistance spy aboard the ship to sell to the First Order. In one flashback we are teased with a battle between Anakin Skywalker and Asajj Ventress. And, in the flashback that takes up the bulk of the issue, we get Jedi Knight Nib Assek and her Padawan Burryaga Agaburry fighting to save the ship from the Nihil.

Earning the cover, the comic is really of interest for the inclusion of a Wookiee Jedi who gets to show off some piloting skills keeping the Nihil at bay until help can arrive.
