Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 1: The Rise Of Kylo Ren & Kyber Crystal Bleeding

This week Mike talks about the four-part comic series about Kylo Ren, delving into more details of what happened at Luke’s jedi temple, Kylo’s relationship with Snoke, the Knights Of Ren, Mike explains what “bleeding” a kyber crystal (lightsaber) is and more!  For the best listening, ensure you’ve seen The Force Awakens & The Last Jedi, and while seeing The Rise Of Skywalker is suggested, it is not essential and there will be no spoilers for it within – this comic series takes place around 6 years before the events of Episode VII: The Force Awakens; so as TFA is 34 ABY, this comic mini-series is around 28 ABY (flashbacks between 18-25 ABY).  The Rise Of Kylo Ren is written by Charles Soule, with Will Sliney as the artist and Guru eFX as the colourist, issue #1 released December 2019 & issue #4 released March 2020.  If you have any questions, pointers or just fancy a chat, send Mike an email at [email protected]  Mike is also the host of a podcast called Genuine Chit-Chat where he speaks with a different guest each week about a wide array of topics where no subject is off limits – GCC can be listened to in the same place you’re listening to this show, so there’s no excuse to not check it out!  Chris & Dave of Comics In Motion were on episodes 63 & 75 of GCC and Mike was on episodes 75 & 100 of Comics In Motion!  Find Mike @GenuineChitChat on Twitter, @Genuine_ChitChat on Instagram and /GenuineChitChat on Facebook!  Intro theme arranged by Mike Burton, backing music by Eric Matyas at www.soundimage.org
