Episode #211 -- The Stars We Are
from Star Wars Splash Page · host Jeff McGee and Matt Moore
With the release of Marvel's Star Wars (Vol. 3) #9, the series begins a new three-issue arc dubbed "Operation Starlight." The Charles Soule-written, Jan Bazaldua-illustrated, Rachelle Rosenberg-colored and Clayton Cowles-lettered issue sets the stage for a desperate gambit by the Rebellion to preserve what's left of their codes and, in the process, restore a long-dead language back to the galaxy. It's evocative of not just World War II's Navajo codetalkers, but also shows how desperate times call for desperate measures.In news, we examine October's sales stats, new variants for January's launch of Marvel's Star Wars: The High Republic series and more.Upcoming Star Wars comics include:Dec. 16 _ Darth Vader #8_ Star Wars Adventures, Vol. 1, “Heroes of the Galaxy” TPB_ Star Wars Adventures, Vol. 3, “Endangered” TPB_ Star Wars Adventures, Vol. 5, “Mechanical Mayhem” TPBDec. 23 _ Star Wars Adventures: Smuggler’s Run #1 _ Bounty Hunters #8Dec. 30 _ Star Wars Adventures #3 Jan. 6_ Star Wars #10_ Star Wars: The High Republic #1 _ Darth Vader #7 (2nd Printing)Jan. 13 _ Darth Vader #9_ Star Wars Adventures #4 _ Star Wars Adventures #5Jan. 20 _ Doctor Aphra #7Jan. 27 _ Bounty Hunters #9 _ Star Wars Adventures: Smuggler’s Run #2 (of 2)_ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2), Vol. 1, “Fortune and Fate” TPB _ Beware Vader’s Castle (Collects Tales From Vader’s Castle and Return to Vader’s Castle mini-series) HC _ Star Wars Adventures, Vol. 11, “Rise of the Wookiees” TPB _ The Clone Wars — Battle Tales TPBFeb. 3 _ Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures #1_ Star Wars #11_ Star Wars: The High Republic #2 Feb. 10 _ Darth Vader #10_ The Phantom Menace Graphic Novel Adaptation from IDWFeb. 17 _ Star Wars Adventures #6_ The Rise of Skywalker Graphic Novel Adaptation TPB (IDW)Feb. 24 _ Doctor Aphra Omnibus HC_ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: “The New Republic,” Vol. 5 TPBApril 7_ Star Wars (Vol. 3), Vol. 2, “Tarkin’s Will” TPB Announced But as Yet Unscheduled Comics _ The Mandalorian titles from Marvel & IDWAnnounced But Marked Canceled by the Publisher_ The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation by Marvel (5-issue mini-series)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Star Wars Splash Page is a weekly podcast dedicated solely to contemporary Star Wars comics published by Marvel, Dark Horse and previously IDW, featuring views about the current week's comics, interviews with the writers, artists, colorists, letterers and editors who create them, as well as the latest details on publishing schedules, upcoming series and mini-series, so that you, the listener have more detail and context about the comics that are a vital part of Star Wars canon, lore and legends.
