Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 44: Rogue One Sequel: The Ashes Of Jedha (Star Wars #38-43)

This week features the Rogue One “sequel” arc from the main run of Star Wars comics called The Ashes Of Jedha, which features Luke searching for further lessons from the Force, Leia & Han travelling to (what’s left of) Jedha to meet with the remaining of Saw Gerrera’s Partisans, including “Two-Tubes” (Benthic), while Queen Trios & Commander Kamchar continue to decimate the Jedha for its resources! All 6 comics were written by Kieron Gillen, with Salvador Larroca as the artist and Guru-eFX as the colourist. The first of the arc, issue 38 was released November 2017, issue 43 was out February 2018 and the trade paperback collection was out April 2018. Check out episode 40 of SWCIC for the previous arc in the main run of Star Wars comics and episode 23 for the Darth Vader comic arc that introduces Queen Trios (although neither of these are necessary to understand/enjoy this episode)! In the last episode of SWCIC (episode 43), Mike tackled the 5 villains stories in the Age Of Rebellion one-shot comic series (from original trilogy); Grand Moff Tarkin in “Tooth & Claw”, Boba Fett in “Hunter’s Heart”, Jabba The Hutt in “Great To Be Jabba”, Darth Vader in “To The Letter” and IG-88 in “The Long Game”, Mike also gives additional information about each of the characters, connections, bounty hunters, species and more!
