Episode #422 -- No Body, No Crime

The Battle of Jakku -- Insurgency Rising mini-series concludes with its fourth and final issue, yet sets up the next four-issue tale -- Republic Under Seige -- quite nicely. So far the only thing that's left us baffled is simply this: Who is that Azanti on the covers of issues 2 and 3?

In Ahsoka #5, the fifth episode of the Disney+ show is adapted quite well, yet offers no deleted scenes or context.
