Canon Comic Miniseries Review: Galaxy’s Edge

Galaxy's Edge Miniseries Review

– Spoiler Review –

Opening up the first ever Star Wars theme park is quite the big deal, so of course to both build up the location within the universe and hype up the park, a publishing program launched, including the 5-issue miniseries, Galaxy’s Edge. Written by Ethan Sacks, with art by Will Sliney and Dono Sánchez-Almara, the comic explores the background to several objects within Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, tying them into a ‘present’ set heist story for the mythical Sword of Khashyun. While full of some intriguing and fun tales with familiar characters, Galaxy’s Edge doesn’t spend enough time at the park, meaning the heist or new characters don’t steal the show.

Comic News: Star Wars: Empire Ascendant One-Shot Closes Series and Current Era of Star Wars Comics, Including Doctor Aphra

I’d say this news comes out of nowhere, but the writing’s been on the wall, and panels, for some time now. With December’s Star Wars: Empire Ascendant #1, a 56 (!) page one-shot, not only will it wrap up the Star Wars series proper, it signals the end of the current era of Star Wars comics which started back in 2015, while it’ll also reveal the fate of Doctor Aphra (I am SO not ready to hear that phrase) too. More thoughts below on the end of “Phase 1.” Continue reading “Comic News: Star Wars: Empire Ascendant One-Shot Closes Series and Current Era of Star Wars Comics, Including Doctor Aphra”
