HOW DID LUKE OBTAIN HIS GREEN LIGHTSABER CRYSTAL? For ep 140, Mike continues with the 2020 run of main Star Wars comics, where we find out how Luke obtained his iconic green kyber crystal and learn more about kyber crystals & purification along the way, all while Leia plans for a group of rebels, including Lando & Chewie, to attack a very specific location on the surface of Imperial centre, on Coruscant! Plus Mike talks about the planets of Ilum & Christophsis, the Fallanassi and more!
Star Wars 34-36 were all written by Charles Soule with Rachelle Rosenberg as colour artist and for issues 34 & 35, Madibek Musabekov was artist while Andrea Di Vito was artist for issue 36. Issue 34 was released May 3rd 2023, issue 36 was released July 4th 2023 and the trade paperback collection was released 26th September 2023.
Mike delved into issues 30-33 of the 2020 SW comics in ep 138 and the issues 26-29 in ep 115, and if you want to hear about Vader bleeding his kyber crystal, check ep 62 of SWCIC and for Kylo bleeding his, check ep 109.
