Star Wars (Marvel 2015)

So new issue was pretty nice, I have a tad complaint though about it. But the stuff with luke is shaping up to be interesting.

What was that monster on the cover that was standing above Luke?

has this comic made any new developments?

Between these comics and the Luke novels the new canon is going out of its way to show how hard Luke trained between ANH and ESB in the ways of the force and lightsaber combat.

Him not having a Master was clearly compensated by his curiosity to learn more, his eagerness to become a Jedi and the harsh combat situations he was constantly put in.

So the newest issue was good, Luke fighting some giant mechanical rancor thing of sorts, wonder how he's gonna get out of that one.

The Gamemaster is...pretty interesting, I would like to know more about him.

Yeah and he gave Luke sine hardcore Gladiator training.

He reported back to a Tie Fighter, so I'm guessing he's an Imperial spy.

He also seems to be a Force User, given he's able to use a lightsaber and seems to have knowledge of the Jedi and could tell how far along Luke was with his training.

Inquisitor perhaps?

Guess we'll see I suppose, though it's nice this new canon is also giving out some interesting characters like the old canon did.

Any news on this current issue/scans?

Just downloaded Star Wars 12. But am I supposed to read this before or after Vader Down?

I have no idea, I am only now catching up on this series.

Ah yes it somes first. Vader Down is the first part of Vader Down which will continue in Darth Vader 13 then Star Wars 13:

I was confused because up to Star Wars 11 it hadn't caught up to where Vader 12 was saying Luke is, or to a point where they can crossover.

I like how TIE pilots laid wasted to Magnaguards. 😛

Also I'm kinda disappointed that the Gamemaster was just a Stormtrooper.

I was kinda hoping he'd be apart of Imperial Intelligence, as I feel this would have made a great re-introduction of the Imperial Agents.

I'm not too disappointed, but slightly...although interesting enough, Kreel doesn't seem to be human given his red skin. So perhaps the Empire has Near-Human species in their Stormtrooper ranks?

Damn, Kreel is the most badass Stormtrooper ever. Very glad he is still alive. Hopefully we see more of him in the future.

Are you implying red skin stops you from being human?

Never said he wasn't human or well full but near human. Though the red skin could just be from something he did to himself or the hutt did.

Still though, near human Stormies sound interesting.

Near-humans aren't human. Like at all. It would be like saying a tiger is a lion it vice versa.

Closely related. Regardless though, moving on from petty words.

I find it kinda odd with Han and Chewie wielding lightsabers along with the Gamemaster and those two Panther guys, are they getting rid the lightsaber being a Jedi/Sith only weapon now?

I was going more of the he could be Sith-Human, which means he's completely human because Sith aren't aliens punchline.
