Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Two new comics and a trade collection are on the shipping list for Wednesday, June 23. Galaxy’s Edge #3 features Hondo Ohnaka and Batuu in the Imperial Era, while Age of Rebellion: Darth Vader is yet another drop in the vast sea of Vader-focused Marvel content. Meanwhile, Doctor Aphra Volume 5 collects #26-31 of the series, plus Annual #2.
Galaxy’s Edge is everywhere this morning, as Disney finally let a bunch of journalists (and StarWars.com, of course) at the upcoming park. Dan Brooks at StarWars.com has the making of, aliens/droids/shops, food/beverages and an additional 27 things. Anthony Breznican of EW, Amy Ratcliffe of Nerdist, and io9’s Germain Lussier also got the FastPass.
There’s a lot to pour over here!

The elusive Qi’ra Forces of Destiny short is live now, and it also features Hondo Ohnaka and IG-88.
The rest of S3 went up on May 4. All eight episodes will air tonight at 8:30 p.m. on the Disney Channel.
A new middle-grade series based around the Millennium Falcon is coming, just in time for October’s Star Wars Reads day. The Flight of the Falcon series will begin with Lando’s Luck, a middle grade novel written by Justina Ireland with illustrations by Annie Wu. Further installments will feature Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca and James’ boy Hondo Ohnaka.
Landing at a docking bay or bookseller near you in time for Star Wars Reads in October, the series of books and comics about the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy will help connect different eras of Star Wars storytelling through the adventures aboard the beloved ship. Each fiction title will include a map to trace the literal flight path and help readers understand the time and place where each story is set.
Bazine Natel, the spy seen on Takodana in The Force Awakens, is on the hunt for the Falcon, and her intel leads her across the galaxy to Batuu, a remote outpost on the galaxy’s edge. In order to find the Falcon, Bazine must learn all she can about the infamous YT-1300 freighter—the ship that countless bounty hunters and Imperials have almost caught over the years.
“These tales take us from a time just before Solo: A Star Wars Story, when Lando and L3 had the Falcon, through the original trilogy, and into the new trilogy, ending on the incredible world of Batuu,” says Michael Siglain, Creative Director, Lucasfilm Publishing.
The series will continue with the choose-you-own-adventure A Luke and Leia Adventure, written by Cavan Scott with art by Elsa Charretier and Pirate’s Price, written by Lou Anders with art by Annie Wu, starring Han Solo, Chewbacca and Hondo Ohnaka.
