We're remembering Peter Mayhew, discussing Han Solo's struggles when it comes to duty now for the future and if extreme violence is allowable to topple evil as we engage in a robust conversation about Star Wars #65 and Star Wars: Age of Rebellion -- Han Solo #1.
Joining us this week is writer Ken Lowery whose fan-made, head-canon comic, Rebel: A Rogue One Story, gives readers an entertaining Jyn Erso story about the lengths she's willing to go to protect a child from the Empire.
As for news, we'll be getting a four-issue, weekly mini series from Marvel in October under the Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker aegis called Allegiance by Ethan Sacks and Luke Ross, while the Wookiees of Kashyyyk will defend their planet against the First Order, along with a backup tale about R2-D2, C-3PO and BB-8, in the pages of Star Wars Adventures #27-29 in stories by Michael Moreci, Derek Charm, Tony Fleecs and John Barber.
