Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 4: After The Battle Of Endor & Operation Cinder

This week Mike delves one of the first comics released under the new canon (from April 2014) set in the final moments of the Battle of Endor (in Return Of The Jedi) giving an insight into what the characters did directly after the second Death Star was destroyed, with an introduction to Poe Dameron’s parents, some details of Operation Cinder (including its other mentions) and more!  Shattered Empire is written by Greg Rucka with Andres Mossa as colourist and the artists Marco Checchetto, Angel Unzueta & Emilio Laiso. Issue #1 released in September 2015 and issue #4 was released in October 2015 – the mini-series is part of the “Journey To The Force Awakens” line of comics & books released. For more details of Operation Cinder & more detail into what happened to the Imperial Remnant after Return Of The Jedi, Mike recommends playing Battlefront II’s campaign mode and reading the Aftermath Trilogy books by Chuck Wendig.  Last week Mike spoke about how C-3PO got his red arm, in episode 2 he talks about Darth Maul beyond The Phantom Menace and the week before that The Rise Of Kylo Ren comic mini-series was talked about.  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
