Show notes
Mike embarks on the final issues of the 2015 main Star Wars run of comics; Rogues & Rebels! In this finale, Luke recovers his lightsaber, Han is captured by Boss Carpo, Chewbacca goes head-to-head with Darth Vader and C-3PO makes some new friends, while Empire Ascendant’s “An Echo Of Victory” provides a small window into the mindset of Poe Dameron’s parents; Shara Bey & Kes Dameron! Plus Mike provides information on the Wampas of Hoth and some history of A-Wings!
These stories are all set just before Empire Strikes Back, around 3 ABY.

Issue 73 of Star Wars was released October 2019, issue 75 was released November 2019, Empire Ascendant was released December 2019 and the trade paperback collection was released March 2020.
