Luke – Genuine Chit-Chat

What Is Star Wars Revelations? Vader’s Vision Of The Future; A Droid Threat In Ajax Sigma, Doctor Aphra, Luke’s Lightsaber Crystal & More (Star Wars Revelations 1) – Ep 120

DARTH VADER HAS A VISION OF THE FUTURE, SHOWING THE RESURRECTION OF AN ANCIENT DROID THREAT! For ep 120, Mike delves into the one-shot special by Marc Guggenheim which stretches across all ongoing runs of Star Wars comics (excluding The High Republic) to give an idea of what new threat is looming during & after the Hidden Empire crossover event. Vader sees many potential futures thanks to the Eye Of The Webbish Bog, but what do these futures all mean and can Vader change any of them? This is a must-listen for fans of the 2020 runs of Star Wars, Darth Vader, Doctor Aphra and Bounty Hunters comics!

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in February 2023.

Star Wars Revelations 1 was released November 23rd 2022 and was written by Marc Guggenheim. Guru eFX & Dono Sánchez-Almara are the colour artists, while Salvador Larroca, Pere Perez, Emma Kubert, Justin Mason, Paul Fry & Wayne Faucher are all pencil/ink artists who worked on the comic.

The other comic episodes set between Crimson Reign & Hidden Empire are 114 for Bounty Hunters, 115 for Star Wars, 117 for Doctor Aphra, 119 for Darth Vader and Crimson Reign 5 was tackled in ep 110. Also listen to episode 81 of SWCIC for the story how Fortress Vader was built!

Last episode, Quest For The Hidden City was the focus, where Mike provided an overview of Phase 2 of The High Republic, including how it differs from Phase 1 and what Pathfinder teams are, before providing his spoiler-free thoughts on the novel. He then reads the blurb and provides more information on the book, lightly speaking about characters and themes. After reading the crawl, Mike gives the final spoiler-warning and talks in-depth about the characters and gives an overview of the book’s plot, some connections to other content and more!

Star Wars: Comics In Canon – Ep 33: Yoda’s Stonepower Master & Secret War Before TPM (Star Wars #26-30)

In this episode of Star Wars: Comics In Canon, Mike delves into the arc of the main Star Wars comics featuring the near-900 year old jedi master Yoda, set before The Phantom Menace! This arc includes Yoda saving a force sensitive child from pirates, learning a “new force power” from an unexpected master, living rock and how Yoda’s involvement in a secret war catches up to Luke nearly 35 years later!

Please note this episode was originally released on the feed of Comics In Motion in November 2020.

For the first two & a half minutes of this pod, Mike talks about the new weekly Mandalorian show under the SWCIC banner on this feed, there are no spoilers in this episode (so fear not!), but you can just skip to the 2 minute mark if you aren’t fussed!

Mike also recommends checking out the last four episodes of season 6 of The Clone Wars (episodes 10-13) as they centre around Yoda learning about force ghosts, Dagobah and other Force-related things (you don’t need to watch any other episodes of CW as these four standalone).

For Yoda’s Secret War, Jason Aaron was the writer, with Salvador Larroca as the artist and Edgar Delgado as the colourist. The cover artist was Stuart Immonen. Issue 26 was released December 2016 and issue 30 was out April 2017, the trade paperback (vol 5 of SW) was out July 2017 and this arc is included in the Journals Of Obi-Wan Kenobi collection released mid-November 2020.
