Pathfinders are all about braving the terrors of hyperspace to help people: what happens when hyperspace itself becomes the terror?

And while visiting Batuu, 3PO calls Artoo a “Clumsy Camtono of Cogs,” which is a new low, even for him.

Also, we chat about last week’s Fall of Kylo Ren news, and of course, MandoGrogu

The Rogue Clones plant the seeds of freedom for the Bad Batch, who still have a job to do.

Leia, Luke and Vader all walk into a bar on Batuu…

Ok that’s not what happened but it sounds like a fun joke, right?

This week we travel back to Black Spire to find out just what our legacy heroes and villains were up to. As always, Dok Ondar finds himself right in the middle of it.

Oh and we’re definitely talking more Maul: Shadow Lord too!

This Shadow of Maul comic is everything a tie-in should be. Within days of seeing Janix’s crime lords on screen, we see the mounting tensions in the planet’s underworld that give Lawson such a headache, and Maul such a glorious opportunity.

Going back to the Clone Wars, another monster lurks in the shadows- is General Grievous merely Dooku’s killing machine, or can he be a master of his own destiny?
