We open with a remembrance by Jeff of singer/songwriter Michael Knott, an artist who had an outsized influence on him. It's a touching tribute and worth your time.
Then we break down the latest Star Wars comics news (8:45) and dive into Thrawn Alliances #3, Star Wars Visions: Takashi Okazaki #1, The High Republic Phase III #5 and last, but not least, Jango Fett #1, which marks writer Ethan J. Sacks' return to a galaxy far, far away.
