May The Panel Be With You

This week we cover a sequel issue to Star Wars Annual #3, so if you're unfamiliar with that issue, maybe go get a refresher on our 100th episode! Because, yeah, this issue is a direct sequel to that one for reasons we cannot explain! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to Kashyyyk, a world of Wookies! The Empire may be "gone" but somehow these big hairy guys are still getting worked over. What gives? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Everyone is felling conflicted this issue! Leia is torn between soldier and diplomat. Luke is afraid of teaching. Rik Duel is trying really hard to not be a dirt bag... okay, maybe not that hard. Meanwhile Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar are trying to decide if these kids have what it takes to lead the newly minted Alliance of Free Systems. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This one is a weird one, so strap in folks. The legendary Ann Nocenti and Bret Blevins take the creative reigns in this issue and so we get Luke Skywalker, kids with a bad case of grownup face and morality tales about the nature of conflict. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're starting to think the Empire isn't quite as defeated as all those dancing ewoks would have had us believe. Leia embarks on a diplomatic mission, only to discover some rats are still scurrying around in the walls of the galaxy at large. Also a new villain makes her debut! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I hope you weren't sick of Rik Duel, Dani and Chihdo, everyone's favorite z-list scumbags, because they're riding shotgun with Luke for now, along with a psychic rabbit-thing and a samurai fish-guy. Anyway, this gang of weirdos needs to diffuse a galaxy destroying super weapon. Classic! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Time for some character introspection for Princess Leia and a random stormtrooper. Interesting ideas abound in this issue about why we fight and the cost of doing what is right. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Oh no, we have to acknowledge the Holiday Special... Yeah, we're headed to Kashyyyk and Lumpy is now recognized as Chewbacca's son. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Okay, so in this issue a character played by Harrison Ford uncovers an ancient artifact that is being threatened by the remnants of an overthrown fascist regime. I can understand why you might be confused about which franchise we're reading a comic book of. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's a Lando issue! Is it relevant to the ongoing plot? Absolutely not. But it's a fun Lando story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What's this? Ongoing continuity within the comic? *GASP* We're heading back to Iskalon this week as Luke begins to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of the Rebellion's victory against the Empire. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're finally beyond Return of the Jedi, which of course means it's time to head back to Tatooine! We simply cannot escape that dust ball of a planet... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We end of coverage of the Star Wars Infinites, both this miniseries and the larger brand, on a decidedly medium note. Ewoks are little killing machines and Vader is redeemed. Too bad we'll never see the follow-up to this... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This Infinites is almost done but we've still got time for a few swerves. Han is finally here but with a few problems from spending way more time in carbonite. Also Leia gets to drive Slave 1 around, so that's fun! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Luke's running late and Leia has a sniper rifle. We're not completely off the rails, but this Infinites sure is going places quick! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Okay, enough Return of the Jedi! Now it's time for more Return of the Jedi... Infinities! What could possibly go wrong as Leia's thermal detonator goes off unexpectedly? A whole lot, it turns out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
