This week Mike delves one of the first comics released under the new canon (from April 2014) set in the final moments of the Battle of Endor (in Return Of The Jedi) giving an insight into what the characters did directly after the second Death Star was destroyed, with an introduction to Poe Dameron’s parents, some details of Operation Cinder (including its other mentions) and more! 

Shattered Empire is written by Greg Rucka with Andres Mossa as colourist and the artists Marco Checchetto, Angel Unzueta & Emilio Laiso. Issue #1 released in September 2015 and issue #4 was released in October 2015 – the mini-series is part of the “Journey To The Force Awakens” line of comics & books released. For more details of Operation Cinder & more detail into what happened to the Imperial Remnant after Return Of The Jedi, Mike recommends playing Battlefront II’s campaign mode and reading the Aftermath Trilogy books by Chuck Wendig. 

Last week Mike spoke about how C-3PO got his red arm, in episode 2 he talks about Darth Maul beyond The Phantom Menace and the week before that The Rise Of Kylo Ren comic mini-series was talked about.
