Sana Starros' family expands as her brother, Phel must reckon with his betrayal, in an intriguing conclusion to the five-issue mini-series that delves into The High Republic yet sets the stage for more stories to come (which would be quite welcome!).

In Darth Vader #35, Doctor Aphra finds comfort -- and a modicum of safety -- in known that only she can help her tormentor to try and find out why his Force powers are out of whack.

The Empire looms large over a simple technician working on the Endor moon and striving to make just one friend in The Empire one-shot. In Yoda #8, Anakin and Yoda put the maxim of "size matters not" to a physical test.

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.

Vildar Mac sees the light, literally, as Tey Ferrick proves his mettle, as The HIgh Republic (Vol. 2) #10 concludes with a Jedi victor, but not without stinging losses.

In Dark Horse Comics' Hyperspace Stories #5, a familiar doll proves to be a sought-after token by Assaj Ventress who encounters a pair of new Jedi, along with another pair of rather familar faces (Obi-Wan and Anakin), in a fast-paced story that sheds more light on her dysfunctional relationship with Count Dooku.

Darth Vader may be down, but he's not out, much to the chagrin of Cyn, who has vastly underestimated the power of the dark side in Darth Vader: Black, White & Red #2 (of 4). Meanwhile, two more stories feature a ghastly alien encounter aboard a seemingly derelict ship, while a young villager sees Vader not as a villain but a hero.

And, weirdly enough, this episode marks our 350th since we began the podcast back in June 2015.

News:

• Per Diamond, some comic shops may find themselves without certain issues of Star Wars comics that are due out this week. That's due to a truck accident in New York last week. Look for the titles (The High Republic #10, Darth Vader: Black, White & Red #2 and the Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years, Vol. 6) on May 31 and June 7. Again some shops aren't affected, but some will be. (If your shop uses PRH, you're OK.)
• Actor Ray Stevens, who voiced Gar Saxson in "Star Wars: Rebels" and "The Clone Wars" and will play Baylan Skoll in the upcoming "Ahsoka" series, died on May 21.
• Titan Magazine's Aug. 2 issue of Star Wars Insider #220 features a comic-store-only variant cover that uses Walt Simonson's cover for Star Wars (Vol. 1) #52 as its cover.

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.

Seven Star Wars comics are out today, with five from Marvel and two from Dark Horse. It's atypical to have so many release on a single day but, hey, it's not a bad problem to have. Still, that means a rather long episode this week, along with ads (12 of 'em) and for that we apologize, though we've no control over it.

Plenty of great stories this week, with some standout issues that will chart new paths for characters like Sabe, Chelli Aphra and Luke Skywalker. Let's dive in.

(Again, sorry about the ads.)

The long-delayed The High Republic Adventures -- Quest of the Jedi from Dark Horse Comics is available and, to borrow a steady cliche, it was was worth the wait. The creative team has created a lavishly illustrated, tightly written one-shot comic set during The High Republic era that features Jedi, the light and dark sides and adds to that era's steadily expanding lore.

In Marvel's Darth Vader: Black, White & Red #1 (of 4), the publisher's penchant for black & white comics finds firm footing in the galaxy far, far away, with Vader the prime subject in three different tales (one of which will anchor all four issues. There is no sparseness in the visual medium, rather clean, precise lines that brim with detail. One tale, by Peach Momoko, will have you forever looking at TIE fighters in a different way.

Comics Discussed This Week

• Quest of the Jedi One-Shot (11:09)
• Darth Vader: Black, White & Red #1 (of 4) (32:32)

Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:

After a long wait, Dark Horse Comics's The High Republic Adventures: The Nameless Terror #2 (of 4) returns, and what transpires is a wonderful melange of Alien, Star Wars and cosmic horror as our High Republic-era Jedi deal with nasties that go knock in the night (and day). It's a long issues, at 34 pages, and captures a perfect balance between suspense, cosmic horror and space fantasy.

Marvel's Sana Starros #3 (of 5) is a splendid bridging issue that pitches the Starros family's quest into high gear, while at the same time paying homage to the sights and sounds and events of the first phase of The High Republic era, too. Come for Sana's outrage, stay for Deva Lompop's machinations and revel in the reveal of Phel's less-than-honorable intentions.

Finally, Jody Houser's three-issue arc, accompanied by artist Luke Ross, comes to a well-paced conclusion in the pages of Yoda #6 (of 10), and readers are afforded a side of Yoda who is well aware of the dark side and its insidiousness, while acknowledging that the light side cannot exist without it.

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.

Things get interesting between Tey and Vildar Mac as Oliviah lays dying in the desert in the pages of The High Republic (Vol. 2) #8 (of 10), while in Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) #30, Chelli seemingly gets her wish to die surrounded by beautiful women.

In Bounty Hunters #33, Inferno Squad lays its trap for the hunters, while IG-88 disrupts the grab for power within the Unbroken Clan, much to Vukhora's delight.

Finally, the Ewoks one-shot delivers a dialogue-free mix of stories featuring some prominent murder bears in a wholly satisfying, utterly entertaining story that blends love, fear, murder and optimism. It's an instant classic.
