Episode #431 -- Where Were You Hiding? (When the Storm Broke)

Star Wars Splash Page

Desperation and determination take hold in the pages of Marvel's Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku -- Last Stand #2 (of 4) as the rebels and imperials strive for their own last stand, while Moff Adelhard is poised to throw a spanner in the works ahead of the confrontation on Jakku.
Dark Horse's The High Republic Adventures -- Echoes of Fear #4 (of 4) is supposed to be out today. The publisher even confirmed to us that it would be, yet we're doubtful, so we're holding off on a review of the issue until its PRH release date of Jan. 29.
