Star Wars Celebration Japan has come and gone and since there's no new Star Wars comics this week, we break down the key comics news that was made the semiannual event celebrating all thing Star Wars.

One thing that was notable was convention-exclusive Star Wars: Beyond Victory #1 by Ethan Sacks, Steven Cummings, Will Sliney and Shogo Aoki, with a cover by Phil Noto. The one-shot was only available at the ILM/Meta booth at Star Wars Celebration in Japan. It serves as prequel story to the Meta Quest experience "Star Wars: Beyond Victory -- A Mixed Reality Playset."

So far (as of April 23), four copies are on eBay, with one at $305. We don't have a copy -- it's unclear if it'll ever be released outside of SWCJ -- but when we get one, we'll offer up a review.

One thing that drew our attention? Marvel editor in chief C.B. Cebulski, at Star Wars Celebration's Lucasfilm Publishing panel, said the company is doing a Millennium Falcon-focused comic later this year.

Comics Discussed This Week:

• Star Wars: Beyond VIctory #1 

Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:

Kyio Ren in chains! A hutt triumphant! Or is it the opposite? 

Marvel's Legacy of Vader #3 continues the quest for clarity by the Supreme Leader of the First Order, but will it lead to only more confusion?

Comics Discussed This Week:

• Legacy of Vader #3

Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:

• Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku -- Last Stand #2 (of 4)

News: 

• Star Wars Celebration Japan starts this week. Our predictions? Lots of books and comics. What sort of comics? Definitely something related to The High Republic from Marvel (perhaps the finale one-shot) as well as the next round of Hyperspace Stories from Dark Horse. Look for the reveal of Daniel José Older's variant cover for June 25's finale of The High Republic Adventures Phase III #20.
• Dark Horse is collecting the 12-issue Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories maxi-series as a hardcover library edition on Oct. 21. That was a fun title and we hope to see more of it this year and next.

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.

It's all starting to converge for The High Republic as Keeve, Sskeer and the others take care of business on Naboo and head with great haste to Eriadu to help out the team there as The High Republic -- Fear of the Jedi #2 (of 5) meshes with the story in Dark Horse's The High Republic Adventures.

In The Rise of Skywalker #2 (of 5), we get a deeper look into what's driving Kylo Ren and Rey as they clash with each other, with Chewie a casualty (or is he?)

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.

Marvel's Star Wars: Jedi Knights debuts and it's a case where the hype wasn't wrong. The series captures the Jedi Order before the events of the prequel trilogy, sporting a case of familiar faces, some new ones and a fair amount of intrigue. It's a superb debut and is going to be a fun read month in and month out.

Dark Horse's long delayed first Hyperspace Stories: Qui-Gon original graphic novel has arrived and the creative team has weaved a truly unique story that melds flashbacks, callbacks to The High Republic, certain myths and fables as well as space-borne suspense in a story that builds upon the Qui-Gon Jinn lore and features Obi-Wan Kenobi and Count Dooku, too.

And after the comics discussion, stay on for a new segment that we're trying out. We think you'll like it.

Marvel's The High Republic phase III returns with the first issue of Fear of the Jedi and it's a doozy. An expansive story that sets the stage for some intriguing developments through its five-issue run and, much to our joy, editor's notes throughout that refer not to just previous Marvel Comics, but those Dark Horse and even the books!

The Ahsoka adaptation concludes with the eighth and final issue of the mini-series in a lavishly illustrated story that sees Ezra return home and Ahsoka and Sabine prepare for a new leg of their respective journeys.
