The Age of Republic comic series by Jody Houser wrapped up earlier this year, and each issue was terrific. Each of these issues centered on a different character from the prequel era - both heroes and villains - and the stories they told were really well-done and insightful. The final issue was focused on General [...]
The Age of Republic comics by Jody Houser have all been terrific, and the series wrapped up a little while ago - and we're now getting ready to begin the Age of Rebellion comic series, which I'm also super excited about! But in catching up a bit on the Age of Republic stuff, I wanted [...]
The main Star Wars comic line is currently telling the stories of what happened to our heroes in-between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. One of the major moments came in the "Hope Dies" arc of the series, released in 2018, as the Empire traced the Rebellion to the Mako-Ta Space Docks. The [...]
Did you know that Han Solo actually helped the Resistance before The Force Awakens? It's true. All of it. It's possible that Han helped the Resistance in a more formalized way in the very early days of the Resistance, since that happened before Ben Solo's rebellion and Han and Leia's split, though we know nothing [...]
In The Force Awakens, it is revealed that Han Solo lost the Millennium Falcon, his beloved ship, and that he and Chewbacca had been searching for it. They of course find it, but in doing so they find a whole lot more: they find a look into their past and into their future, as they [...]
Earlier this week, Lucasfilm announced a new Star Wars comic miniseries coming this spring, called Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. This miniseries will of course be a tie-in to the brand new Star Wars theme park opening later this year at both Disney Land and Disney World, called "Galaxy's Edge." This park takes visitors to the [...]
Recently, I came across an article from Mike Ryan at Uproxx asking the question of whether Han Solo was actually a "captain" in the Rebellion in The Empire Strikes Back or whether he was simply referred to "captain" because he was captain of the Millennium Falcon. I want to be clear here that Ryan acknowledges [...]
In this week's Star Wars comic "Age of Republic Special 1," we get three different short stories about three different people from the Republic era. There's a story about Mace Windu, about Asajj Ventress, and about Rex and Jar-Jar Binks. It's that latter story that was particularly exciting, because we get to see Jar-Jar and [...]
I have really enjoyed the Age of Republic comics so far, written by Jody Houser, and each issue focuses on a hero or villain from the prequels. The most recent issue, which was the fourth overall, tells a story about the infamous bounty hunter Jango Fett. This issue tells of a mission Jango Fett takes [...]
One of the more recent Age of Republic comics was about Obi-Wan Kenobi, the legendary fan-favorite Jedi Master. This comic series, which has been very enjoyable so far (and is written by Jody Houser), focuses on a different character from the prequel era each time. First it was Qui-Gon Jinn, then Darth Maul, and now [...]
