Needless to say, Jabba the Hutt and […]

The mystery surrounding Dok-Ondar’s artifacts in the Black Spire Outpost thickens considerably in this issue.

There are a lot of roads leading to Batuu, but the story presented in the second issue of Galaxy’s Edge goes all the way back to […]
Review – Get Under The Hood Of The Empire With TIE Fighter: Owners’ Workshop Manual
Even to the most casual of Star Wars fans, the angry roar of twin-ion engines screaming past the frame of a shot, their green turbo laser bolts relentlessly seeking the destruction of an X-wing over Scarif or one of the Death Stars inspires a certain amount of uneasiness. The TIE Fighter is easily one of the most […]
Review – Problems of His Own In Marvel’s Age of Rebellion: Lando Calrissian
Age of Rebellion continues this week with Lando Calrissian in “Cloud City Blues”. The charming rogue faces some very real problems of administrating a city, balancing a budget, and realizing if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Review – A Fan Fiction Love Letter To The Prequels In Pete Fletzer’s Duel of the Fates
Pete Fletzer covered Star Wars in the years leading up to The Phantom Menace, what some of us remember as the wilderness years.

Things are heating up on Shu-Torun…literally. Bad puns aside, Leia Organa leads a mission to bring down Queen Trios for her double cross that cost the Rebel Alliance a promising fleet.

Review – The Diverse Species of the Galaxy Far, Far Away Catalogued In Star Wars: Alien Archive
It’s been a wild, near forty-two years of cruising through the various imaginations who brought the Star Wars universe to life, not least of which have been the make-up artists, costume designers, and visual effects artists making the aliens inhabiting this universe real. Whether the creatures thrill you, terrify you, or make you laugh, it’s certainly a […]
Review – The Galaxy Is Tuned In For Marvel’s Doctor Aphra #31
Doctor Aphra and Triple Zero seem to have reached the end of their journey.

In 1999, George Lucas pulled back the curtain and for the first time, we saw the golden age of the Jedi. Before The Phantom Menace, we had no idea what that would look like. Our first demonstration at the hands of seasoned veteran Qui-Gon Jinn and his capable Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, exuded nothing but strength and […]
