We learned something new about Star Wars from this past week's comics: Everybody poops. The Solo: A Star Wars Story trailer came out just before we began recording. Our thoughts? "I've got a good feeling about this." We had good feelings about Star Wars #46 and A Star Wars Comic #14, too. March's Star Wars comics orders, they weren't so low, either, with Star Wars 44 ranked No. 14 on Diamond's Top...

There's a soap-opera style appeal to the latest issue of Doctor Aphra, the lone Marvel Star Wars comic that Jeff McGee and Matt Moore sat down to discuss in detail in this episode. Also in the fray with issue 18? Weird but wonderful horror and bio-warfare experiments never seen before. As for news? Jaxxon's back in canon and he's bringing Amaiza with him! While we were aware the Lepi's return was...

Marvel's Star Wars comics have a new group editor, while Charles Soule has offered up some splendid detail about the Poe Dameron series in an interview at Marvel.com about its past and its future, making our discussion of Poe Dameron #25 that more involved. In Star Wars #45, Kieron Gillen was very prescient about the role milk plays in the life of Luke Skywalker. We also want to be sure you're awa...

We're doing the time warp as Star Wars continuity takes a hit, then course corrects (at least digitally) as we dive into Darth Vader #13 and see Imperial philosophy up close and personal in Thrawn #2. There's even a mystery Jedi that has us pondering the events of Christie Golden's Dark Disciple novel. Not included? News that inaugural line editor Jordan D. White is stepping down to take over as g...

Vader tells his haters "Later!" and learns a lesson about what it means to not just hold power, but be its fist, too, (here's a hint: Friend are hard to come by), as Comics With Kenobi tackles Star Wars: Darth Vader #12, talk about the news of Jaxxon's return to the canon and toss out some recommendations for those seeeking to dive deeper into the Dark Horse Comics-published library of Star Wars c...

Doctor Aphra's feeling conflicted and Hera Syndulla finds herself in a dangerous situation as Comics With Kenobi celebrates its 50th episode by doing exactly what we've done since we began back in 2015! Jeff McGee and Matt More breakdown the events of Marvel's Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #17 and discuss the edifying interview that Newsarama's Chris Arrant did with Marvel Star Wars comics editor Jordan...

Terex has a bolt loose, Vader's got a price on his head and Thrawn's locks are luscious. We're beyond head canon in this episode of Comics With Kenobi as Jeff McGee and Matt Moore dive into Star Wars: Poe Dameron #24, Star Wars: Darth Vader #11 and the much anticipated debut of the first issue of the six-issue Star Wars: Thrawn adaptation of Timothy Zahn's 2017 novel. We also break down the reveal...

Kieron Gillen's first arc on Marvel's flagship monthly Star Wars title comes to an end and sets the stage for something more hopeful going forward. With just one issue to discuss, that gives us time to address some listener mail and what great questions we got from Ryan Sime, Cameron Kieffer and Sam Bradbury, too. We think you'll like what they asked and what we answered. The new Star Wars comics...

Mon Cala features in April's issues of Star Wars and Darth Vader. Matt Leahy asks: Should there be more opportunities for tie-in stories, such as the Vader Down crossover event? Free Comic Book Day is May 5 and IDW will release a Cavan Sc...

It's a pair of powerful stories as both Marvel and IDW Publishing's Star Wars comics deliver potent writing that ties into ongoing events in Star Wars: Rebels and builds a bridge to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Writers Kieron Gillen and Devin Grayson have penned separate yet equally weighted missives on on what it means to lead and be led in the pages of Star Wars #42 and Star Wars: Forces of Des...

From Phasma to Porgs, writer Delilah S. Dawson is a fan favorite among Star Wars literati and, now, thanks to her work on IDW Publishing's Star Wars Adventures and Star Wars: Forces of Destiny, comics, too. A writer of renown and long-time Star Wars fan, she joined us to talk about her stories in Star Wars Adventures #5 and #6, as well as the upcoming Forces of Destiny -- Rose and Paige, along wit...

This week's episode brings us news about the upcoming The Last Jedi: Storms of Crait one shot out Dec. 27, some decidedly nonspoilery talk about Star Wars: The Last Jedi film as well as conversation about the preceding week's Star Wars comics from Marvel and Jim Mello and Alex Ray's first-ever annual for A Star Wars Comic.

It’s an extra-special special episode as we sit down with Alex Ray and Jim Mello, co-creators of the wildly popular and strikingly imaginative A Star Wars Comic as we mark the completion of a year’s worth of stories and tales from a galaxy far, far away in our respective head canon. They’ve taken us — and you — from one end of the Star Wars galaxy to another, introducing new characters alongside w...

Plenty to be thankful for when it came to Marvel's November slate of Star Wars comics, including a pair of double-dips for the Star Wars and Darth Vader series. Reading Poe Dameron gave us all kinds of feels, especially if you harbor affection for not just Leia Organa, but Padme Amidala. Meanwhile, Alex Ray and Jim Mello struck gold with their latest issue of A Star Wars Comic where a Gonk droid s...

It’s another episode of our youngling — and not so youngling — focused Young Padawans Edition.

Walker, Alan Tudyk and Shannon Denton, with art by Eric Jones, Arianna Florean, letters by Tom B. Long and Christa Miesner and colors by Mo...

Views, news and reviews as Jeff McGee and Matt Moore tackle October’s prodigious output of Star Wars comics from Marvel Entertainment. Plenty of hits, some misses, but definitely a full complement far-reaching stories that continue to add to the complex layers of characters we’ve been following for years, if not decades, along with some careful consideration about events between Revenge of the Sit...

You wondered, aloud even: "Where's the discussion about IDW Publishing's Star Wars Adventures?" It's right here! We were intrigued when IDW, in announcing the new series earlier this year, noted that its stories were aimed at younglings and younglings at heart. After two issues, it's obvious there's no better way to explain the delightfully scripted and superbly illustrated stories. In the spirit...

It's autumn up here in our hemisphere. While leaves are falling, and the countdown clock is flipping closer and closer to Star Wars: The Last Jedi, we're slating our Star Wars thirst with a bevy of Star Wars comics from Marvel and IDW Publishing, as well as a couple of young upstarts from down in central Florida, too. September's comics ran the gamut from Prequel Trilogy-era events in the Clone Wa...
