How many easter eggs did you find? We found lots that connected the classic films and TV series. We may have forced some but we got them to work. We also discuss the “gospel” word of the Lawgiver. And was Proximus Caesar inspired by Caesar the ape or Julius Caesar? We also read your comments on the film. We were surprised by the outcome.

With their reward money from the Rebel Alliance stolen, the smugglers decide to lay low on the planet Aduba-3. There, they take a job defending a moisture farmer from a local gang known as the Cloud-Riders. However, they can’t defend the village alone so they hire several mercenaries, including Jaxxon!     During the Cloud Rider attack, The Behemoth, a giant reptilian monster, is summoned and Han Solo may be the village's only hope for survival.     This arc was written by Roy Thomas, Howard Chaykin, and Donald F.
