May The Panel Be With You

We're in the belly of the beast now as we cross the halfway mark of our coverage of Shadows of the Empire. Boba Fett is a maniac. Jabba needs to find better help. And Luke Skywalker, remember him? Well, we skip all the cool stuff he does to see him get captured. And we get an explanation for that disguise Leia wears in Return of the Jedi! Isn't that neat?!

Side characters? Oh boy do we have side characters! From Darth Vader's best pal to a swoop gang full of weirdos, we've got enough people who aren't really involved in the main plot to shake a stick at! And I guess Luke Skywalker is there too...

Who is your Han Solo when you don't have Han Solo? It's Dash "Totally More Awesome than Han Solo" Rendar, baby! [Insert sick guitar licks here]

We start our coverage of Shadows of the Empire, the Star Wars media project without a movie at its center! Time to live in that sweet, sweet 90s nostalgia for a while.

It's time we wrap things up on Barsoom as we close out this two parter of reused art and backbreaking story concessions.

What if Marvel made a John Carter of Mars comic? What? They did? Wait, why the heck are we talking about John Carter of Mars on a Star Wars comic book podcast?!

We're digging into some good stuff here! Leia kicking butt, an Imperial Officer coup attempt and more Vader than you can shake a lightsaber at!

We're entering a bold new era of the original Marvel Star Wars comic, one full of rad Vader moments and plots that make sense! We won't get too attached but it's fun while it lasts.
