Episode #144 -- Brave Men Run (In My Family)

Rey out-Lukes Luke in terms of impatience.
Jabba has the last laugh.
Leia comes clean.

Last week's Star Wars comics -- Star Wars #73, Star Wars Adventures -- Return to Vader's Castle #4 and Star Wars -- Allegiance #3 -- provided readers with decidedly different stories with overarching characters whose influence runs deep.

We break down what worked, what didn't and why each issue was worth the time and money.

As for news, Doctor Aphra is going to return with Alyssa Wong and Marika Cresta launching volume 2 of the adventures of our ambiguous space archeologist and walking disaster, bringing to three the number of monthly Star Wars comics that take flight in 2020, while everything you knew about Ben Solo/Kylo Ren's involvement with Luke Skywalker at his Jedi academy will be turned on its head in Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #2.

New Star Wars comics out Oct. 30 include:
_ Star Wars -- Allegiance #4
_ Star Wars Adventures #27
_ Return to Vader's Castle #5
_ Doctor Aphra Annual #3
