The woes of Poe are compounded by Black Squadron's inability to rally allies to the cause in this, their most desperate hour, in the pages of Poe Dameron #29, while Han Solo proves his mettle, skill and pluck as the best pilot in the galaxy in Star Wars #51 in what portends to be a head-to-head duel with Darth Vader.

Finally, in the pages of Darth Vader Annual #2, writer Chuck Wendig weaves associated elements of Star Wars lore from film and the printed page to tell an engaging, if not spirited, whodunit that further cements the oddly balanced relationship and mutual non-aggression pact that is Wilhuff Tarkin and the Dark Lord of the Sith.
