What a lovely comic! It was a fountain of inspiration for my Kenner plays during my childhood. Specially all involved with the city aestethics and the diplomatic plot.

I miss those times that Vader's sidekicks weren't Force users... Just random pawns with weird skills :D

The Black and White art looks great, TBH. This is the colorist's goof, 💯

First off, this awesome issue was written by Larry Hama!

Secondly, it's a battle over a bank loan!!

Thirdly, it introduces the world to Darth Vader's manservant*, his haberdasher* and his footman*!!!

*Pretty much.

Vader vs Leia on the cover to Marvel #StarWars 48! Their first confrontation after EMPIRE! Any strong feelings about this cover? Sounds like the editor wasn't happy with Vader's head!

We've certainly got some strong opinions we'll share this Sunday on the EMPIRE TO JEDI Podcast! #StarWarsComics

Lando having faith in Han, in trusting him and his team to see through their end of the mission, is still one of the most emotional moments for me in Return of the Jedi. #StarWars

Episode #487 -- Nothing From Nothing Leaves Nothing We're in a two-week stretch of no new Star Wars comics but that's not going to stop us from providing the high-value, cheap-as-free content you've grown accustomed to from other podcasts (not us). Still, we've got the latest news and some conjecture. Listen on! Comics Discussed This Week: - Not a one. Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:
 - Jedi Knights #8 (of 10) 
News: - Mad Cave Studios has partnered with Lucasfilm Publishing to tell new, original stories set in the Star Wars galaxy via graphic novels via the former's Papercutz imprint that's aimed at middle-grade readers. The first two -- Star Wars: Smugglers and Scoundrels -- The Race for Jabba's Bounty and Star Wars: Tales From the Outer Rim -- The Legend of Beggar's Canyon -- are due out Sept. 15 and Oct. 13, respectively. Creative teams on the books are Cavan Scott and Christian Colbert and Greg Pak and Brent Schoonover. - Marvel to debut Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge -- Echoes of the Empire #1 (of 5) on April 22. It's by Ethan Sacks, with art by Jethro Morales and Roi Mercado. Also coming in April and May? Mandalorian and Grogu movie variant covers. - Full details on the April Star Wars comics solicits from Marvel and May solicit from Dark Horse Comics are on the Facebook and Bluesky pages, as well as Digg and Reddit outposts. - Release dates for the Dark Droids and Poe Dameron omnibuses are Aug. 19 and Sept. 9, respectively. If you're looking for a good, discounted price on either -- or any Marvel omnibus for that matter -- checkout CheapGraphicNovels.com and InStockTrades.com. - Artist Sal Buscema has passed away, according to a colleague of his, Sterling Clark, who spoke to Buscema's wife, Joan. He was 89 and just shy of his 90th birthday. Buscema did the pencils for Marvel's Star Wars (Vol. 1) #93 and #102.
