Title: Star Wars Adventures: Shadow of Vader’s Castle (One-shot)

Writer: Cavan Scott
Artists: Derek Charm, Nicoletta Baldari, Nick Brokenshire, Francesco Francavilla

The oversized one-shot returns to one of IDW’s favorite locales for the Star Wars Adventures title – Fortress Vader. The main story that loosely ties together a collection of tales involves two young Mustafarians who get the idea to blow-up Darth Vader‘s fortress following the Empire’s defeat at the Battle of Endor in which the character will apparently play a major role.

The collection of tales center around stories the boys either know or are told about the castle, it’s legend, and curse. Vader’s assistant Vaneé, briefly seen in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story makes an appearance in more than one of the stories which sets the stage for IDW’s next comic Ghosts of Vader’s Castle.

The Mandalorian – The Marshal

Title: The Mandalorian – The Marshal (Chapter 9)
wiki: link

The Second Season premiere of The Mandalorian sends the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and Baby Yoda back to the planet farthest from the bright center of the galaxy. The return to Mos Eisley also means the return of Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris) and Tusken Raiders as our protagonist searches for rumors of another Mandalorian somewhere in the deserts of Tatooine. Of course, this is all after the season opening action scene in a din of sin where the Mandalorian’s attempt to buy information about the location of others ends in several dead bodies and a rumor sending him back to the desert world. While mostly disconnected from the larger story, other than offering the Mandalorian a starting point on his wild goose chase across the galaxy, it does offer one of two big action sequences for the episode.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – The Bad Batch

Alan Rapp / October 30, 2020 / Television Reviews

Title: Star Wars: The Clone Wars – The Bad Batch
wiki: link

“The Bad Batch” catches up with Mace Windu (TC Carson) and Anakin Skywalker (Matt Lanter) on the planet Anaxes where Clone forces are slowly being overtaken by the Droid Army. Believing the Droids have learned to counter Republic’s battlefield strategies, Commander Cody (Dee Bradley Baker) and Captain Rex (Baker) lead a commando unit of genetic mutated clones known as Clone Force 99 to learn more. Action is fast and furious here, and the mutated clones (each with certain advantages over “Regs”) offer a fun twist to the usual proceedings. Hoping to find and destroy an algorithm, what the troopers actually discover seems to point to Rex’s fears being true that Echo is alive and prisoner on Skako Minor where his knowledge is being used against the Clone army.
