It's a new era of Star Wars and Star Wars comic storytelling as Marvel debuts Star Wars (Vol. 4) #1 featuring the Original Trilogy characters in the aftermath of the Return of the Jedi and the Battle of Jakku maxi-series that focuses on the New Republic attempting to rebuild and restore the galaxy. But where there's hope, despair cannot be far behind.
In Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch -- Ghost Agents #3 (of 5), Task Force 99 and Aurra Sing realize who's behind the mask and it's a devious foe in the service of the separatists.
Free Comic Book Day featured a pair of titles from Dark Horse and Marvel, with Young Jedi Adventures delivering yet another whimsical and fun all-ages story, while FCBD: Star Wars #1 provides a very solid foundation for Marvel's current monthly titles -- Star Wars, Legacy of Vader and Jedi Knights.
