Endings and new beginnings poulate the final issue of IDW's Star Wars -- The High Republic Adventures #13 as Lula and Zeen take a big step together, yet separately, while a pair of padawans are elevated to knighthood. It's a sweet, but not cloying, conclusion to the series' run and IDW's stewardship of all-ages Star Wars comics.

Comics out today and broken down on this week's episode:
_ The High Republic Adventures #13

Star Wars Comics on Marvel Unlimited This Week:
_ Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) #16

The news?
_ Writer Tom Veitch, whose Dark Empire, Dark Empire II and Empire's End for Dark Horse Comics, has died from Covid-19. He was 80.
_ What's up with Poe Dameron? The now-concluded series writer Charles Soule stoked speculation of all stripes with a single tweet. We have an idea what it may be.
_ The series of Star Wars: Rebels Comics that appeared only in Germany and Australia are coming to the U.S. July 6, thanks to a new trade collecting them from Dark Horse Comics.
