Only love can, and will, break your heart, as Valance learns in the pages of Bounty Hunters #31 with his hope for a quiet life with Jyala brutally erased. It's T'onga who steps up to carry him away in a bid to find some sort of peace, be it inner or outer, though it's clear than an inferno is brewing.
In Star Wars #31, Amilyn Holdo gives new meaning to "the Holdo Maneuver," as she, Luke, Leia, Lando, Chewie and Lobot find themselves mystified yet intrigued by the No-Space locale and the history of a long-dead Jedi from The High Republic Era.
