SW LoreCast Ep. 5: Why Scum and Villainy in SW Comics is so great & tons of Doctor Aphra talk!

After we start with about 15 minutes of giddy excitement about cast announcements for EPISODE IX and J.J. Abrams’s brilliant forethought to shoot extra Leia for THE FORCE AWAKENS that we will now see repurposed for the final chapter, we immediately dive head first into Star Wars comics in the Disney “canon” era. We of course spend most of our time on Vader series one and two and especially the magnificent, electric, stereotype-busting, lovably roguish Doctor Aphra and her incredibly unique and downright hilarious relationship with the Dark Lord as well as her own (mis)adventures. The Bizzle read over 3,000 pages of Star Wars comics over the past few weeks (no lie) in preparation for the first of what promises to be an entire mini-series of discussion about what have mostly been good to really good to occasionally excellent comics by Marvel in the Star Wars universe (see: “The Screaming Citadel” with Luke, Aphra, Han, Leia and company). ***Comics talk starts at 17 minutes!
