Rodney Barnes returns to Star Wars comics with his second series this year, adaptating the Ahoska Disney+ TV show. Though it, like the prior Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi adaptations, is a word-for-word telling of the series, the artwork by Steven Cummings, Wayne Faucher and Rachelle Rosenberg and letters by VC's Travis Lanham makes this issue, indeed this eight-issue mini-series, worth having.

Zeen and Lula come to a momentous decision, albeit independently of one another, in The High Republic Adventures Phase III #7 by Daniel José Older, Harvey Tolibao, Le Beau Underwood and Elisabetta D'Amico, Michael Atiyeh and Comicraft's Tyler Smith and Jimmy Betancourt. Readers are also treated to a new member of the Tarkin (yes, that Tarkin) family as Krix Kamerat takes a major gamble.

• Ahsoka #1 (5:39)
• The High Republic Adventures Phase III #7 (10:28)

Rodney Barnes is back in Star Wars, with free rein to script the Inquisitors story and the result after the first issue is stupendous. The issue also features the return of artist Ramon Rosanas and he has been very much missed. What follows is a look inside the Grand Inquisitor and what is to come, not to mention a plethora of new Jedi.

In the penultimate issue of Marvel's The High Republic Phase III, Cavan Scott again proves he's not worried about readers' attachment to fan-favorite characters. The issue has many twists and turns but they all point to a cataclysmic conclusion in issue #10.

Comics Discussed This Week:

• Inquisitors #1 (of 4) (11:49)
• The High Republic Phase III #9 (of 10) (31:15)

Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:

• Obi-Wan Kenobi #6 (of 6)

News: 

• The Age of Resistance -- Kylo Ren one-shot is getting a reprint as part of Marvel's "Trick or Read" free comics this October.
• Checkout the fan-made High Republic Comic "Enemy Within." You'll be glad you did.
• In his latest Substack, Daniel José Older proffers a panel from The High Republic Adventures Phase III #7, due out July 10, by Harvey Tolibao and colors by Michael Atiyeh, featuring sweet Aloxian baby Zint and brand new very old Tarkin.
• First Dark Horse on its Star Wars High Republic titles, and now Marvel, too. The Acolyte branding game is robust as the comics feature that show's logo and the words: "A century before ..."

Star Wars Splash Page is a weekly podcast dedicated solely to contemporary Star Wars comics published by Marvel, Dark Horse and previously IDW, featuring views about the current week's comics, interviews with the writers, artists, colorists, letterers and editors who create them, as well as the latest details on publishing schedules, upcoming series and mini-series, so that you, the listener have more detail and context about the comics that are a vital part of Star Wars canon, lore and legends.

Ty Yorrick is picking up enough sidekicks to form her own Jedi Order, while Drewen realizes he may have bitten off quite a bit more than he can chew as Dark Horse's The High Republic Adventures -- Saber for Hire #3 sets the mini-series up for its conclusion.

In Darth Maul: Black, White & Red #3, Maul appears to be questioning not his devotion to the Sith and the Dark Side, but Palpatine's people skills.

Comics Discussed This Week:

• Darth Maul: Black, White & Red #3 (of 4) (12:12)
• Saber for Hire #3 (of 4) (20:18)

Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:

• Jango Fett #1 (of 4)
• Thrawn Alliances #3 (of 4)
• Star Wars Visions: Takashi Okazaki #1

News: 

• Star Wars and Darth Vader will both end at #50 in September; Marvel promises a new batch of stories somewhere different. What might those be?

The trial of Lando Calrissian comes to its conclusion, amid some heartfelt testimony and, dare we say it, potential clues to the next volume of the flagship Star Wars title in issue #47. In The High Republic Phase III #8, seeds are planted for what's likely to be a wildly chaotic conclusion to the 10-issue maxi-series.

• Star Wars (Vol. 3) #47 (29:31)

Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:

• Thrawn Alliances #2
  
  News: 

• That Star Wars: The Acolyte one-shot we mentioned before? It's Kelnacca and will be written by Cavan Scott with art by Marika Cresta and due out Sept. 4. Full details when September's solicits come out in a couple of weeks.
• Scores of retailer-exclusive variants are being revealed for the first Ahsoka #1, due out July 10.
