Before we begin, we had some audio-quality issues that couldn't be surmounted. For that, we apologize.
Major week for Star Wars comics, what with the launch of Hidden Empire #1 (of 5), the third and final part of the "Soule Trilogy" that, if the debut is any indicator, is going to be a wild ride filled with nods to legends and lore while setting up the next step for Qi'ra.
In Doctor Aphra #26, the Spark Eternal is seemingly garnering more power in a frenetic story that may well leave readers gasping for air by the last page.
In Han Solo & Chewbacca #7 (of 10), Phaedra steps up and into a greater role as Maz Kanata helps advance a daring plan to bust themselves, and Chewbacca, out of prison. What of Han? Read the book to find out.
