This is a comic series that will be divided into 3 distinct eras within the timeline, and will focus on particular characters within that era.

-"Age of Republic" (set for release December 2018)
-"Age of Rebellion" (set for release April 2019)
-"Age of Resistance" (set for release July 2019)

Here is a list of the character one-shots that will be released for each 'age'...


Age of Republic
-Qui-Gon Jinn
-Darth Maul
-Obi-Wan Kenobi
-Jango Fett
-Special
-Anakin Skywalker
-Count Dooku
-Padme Amidala
-General Grievous


Age of Rebellion
-Lando Calrissian
-Jabba the Hutt
-Han Solo
-Boba Fett
-Luke Skywalker
-Grand Moff Tarkin
-Princess Leia
-Darth Vader


Age of Resistance
-Poe Dameron
-Supreme Leader Snoke
-Finn
-Captain Phasma
-Rose Tico
-General Hux
-Rey
-Kylo Ren

no windu again, eh

Nope, but at least they're cramming more Maul down our throats, lmao.


That said, several of these one-shots do have the potential to be pretty good, so we'll see.

Zentrex just filled his underwear with jizz.
We do need some of that Snoke time stuff though. I'm just worried about how potentially limited they are with the new movie coming out and the canon. Hope they can actually make new stories and add shit.

The Resistance issues are being written by Tom Taylor, so they might be decent. I am very curious to see the direction he goes with the Snoke and Kylo issues.

The Rebellion stuff is being written by Pak, though, so that should be...interesting. ermmnone

I wonder if we will find out anything significant about Snokes background prior to Episode 9.

I lost any hope of them giving us what I actually want a while ago. But if this issue is actually seeing Snoke in his prime, in the Unknown Regions, getting to find out about what he did with the past two hundred years of his life...I don't want to get my hopes up, though.

Really?


1)Where did he get his training from?

2)Where was his during Palpatines reign?

3)How does he know everything about Palpatine and Vader?

4)How did he get deformed? Can he use a lightsaber, or is he too physically damaged for that? If he can What is his level of Saber skill?


I want sources and quotes for every answer you give so I know it is not just made up.

As far as I am aware the only answer that has been even eluded to in canon is the answer to question 2.

We're talking about one-shot issues here. Even if they're 40 pagers, there's only so much 'detail' you're going to get about each character.

The last one, he was bombed by the resistance which left him crippled, so his guards do his fighting for him.

He said he had "masters" in the Unknown Regions who told him never to fully trust visions of the Force in the TLJ novel. I don't have the exact quote, I don't own the novel.

He was in the Unknown Regions. Aftermath books, TLJ novel, TFA novel, Visual Dictionaries, Interviews, The Art of the Force Awakens, this museum exhibit in late 2015 which revealed some behind the scenes ideas.

Well, he doesn't know everything, but he did know what happened on the death star, and while we don't know, I think it's fair to say that he just used a force vision.

According to the TLJ novel, the Resistance is to blame for that. In the Aftermath books, there was a team of scouts who went into the Unknown Regions as part of a contingency plan in case the Empire falls. In the Thrawn Novel, many imperials were to go into the Unknown Regions to find whatever is inside. In Battlefront 2, Luke goes to Pillio and discovers plans to go into the Unknown Regions. In the Visual Dictionary for TLJ, it says that some imperials came into the Empire and would "surely have perished were it not for the attendants" who are these tall, mute people who were found in the unknown regions with Snoke.
So I say that he got them defending the Imperials from the Resistance.

The sources which have mentioned him make a big note of his phyiscal impairments, even saying that him walking and talking gives him extreme pain. So wielding a lightsaber would be out of the question.

Oh really? So I was right about his guards protecting him.

Where was that confirmed?

"Age of Rebellion", "Age of Resistance"

lol, even the marketing team couldn't figure out a way to hide how unoriginal the new trilogy era is compared to the OT.

I'm always down for a Qui-Gon story though.

It's also weird that they would use the First Order insignia to mark the sequel era. The "Age of Republic" is the Republic logo, makes sense, The "Age of Rebellion" is the Rebellion, okay, so I guess we're going by who our good guys are, and then the "Age of Resistance" is the First Order? Did they just think the logos looked too similar?

Well, the Resistance' logo is literally a carbon copy of the Rebel Alliance' logo. So they couldn't use it twice.

I think I've realized why I'm not that engaged with this new canon as I am with the old one. Kudos for any of you that are, especially Galan who even goes through the extremely cheesy stuff(Resistance....).

The pieces are there, but a great deal of the puzzle just doesn't fit right to me. If that makes sense.

Zen, could you elaborate? Is it that the universe isn't as well connected, is that there's not enough of an overarching theme, or that there's no personal connection you have to any of the material?

The biggest thing is that the narrative just doesn't hold for me. In either the GCW era or the Resistance/FO era.

For GCW, it started with Rebels. What exactly is threatening about the Empire here? Their best and most threatening guy that wasn't from the OT or Legends, was killed in the first season and replaced by 2 morons. It doesn't help that in some episodes, the Rebels crew clearly should have all died but didn't.

Even when Thrawn came into the picture, that just made things worse. I get it that it was for fan service, but narratively...why send a ****ing Grand Admiral...THE Grand Admiral to deal with a Rebel cell? They could have easily put in Captain Piett who by all accounts given he ends up Admiral of Vader's personal fleet and the Executor, should be enough.

Also they try to excuse Thrawn's losses in this show by him saying he has some bigger plan, or he allowed to happen...but honestly doing it so many times I wasn't buying it all that much.

Agent Kallus turned traitor because.....reasons, spending a day with Zeb I guess. I didn't believe he became a Rebel, it didn't work right. The guy committed genocide of a species years ago(oh I'm sorry, supposed genocide) and I'm suppose to believe he's gonna defect because of....something? He was another wasted enemy that could have been used.

Also they take concepts from Legends into this series and just....I hated them. I'm not saying to have a complete carbon copy, but what they did was just....no. The Inquisitors, where's their differences? Why does it look like they come off an assembly line with their spinny lightsabers? They aren't any better in the comics either.

The TIE Defender....what a complete waste this was, only in for a few episodes, ship is destroyed by something it should have been able to destroy easy and the project halted completely because...unique fuel or some stupid reasoning. Also the pilot was a stupid hypocrite, says to follow orders in one episode...goes onto completely ignore his superior.

Rukh the Noghri Assassin. ......First impressions and he failed hard. Even later he wasn't much.

The comics, I did like Vader's first series, the other....ehh...some issues were ok. Art is on point, but other than that...meh didn't find em that engaging. The main SW series even less so apart from Obi-Wan's issues, SCAR squad was a complete waste imho, sgt Kreel was the only interesting one and that's only because of his lightsaber...which I don't really think he should have had but whatever.

But you know one of the biggest things? That the GCW ended a year after the Battle of Endor, that is probably what grinds me the most. Yeah, yeah, Palps designed the Empire to fall because he was petty....ok? So? It was pretty much like that in the previous continuity, difference was...it took a hell of a lot longer which makes a lot more sense given the scope of the Empire.

The Resistance/FO era isn't holding any better, if not worse because the movies seem disconnected from one another, this new Resistance series....I don't wanna talk about it, I'm still trying to get over what I watched.

The Clone Wars era is....alright I guess, probably because we haven't gotten much other than TCW, I find it ok. I wasn't big on Maul's series though didn't hate it but didn't really like it either, his older series from the early 2000s was much better imo.

1.) It was explained that Admiral Konstantine had tried, and failed, to handle the Rebel cell on Lothal. Thrawn was brought in by Tarkin at the special request of Pryce to not only handle the insurgents on Lothal, but deal with the entire Rebellion as a whole.

2.) Tbf, Thrawn's only true losses in his entire time with the Empire were the battle of Atollon(due to the Bendu's direct intervention), and the final battle of Lothal(due to Ezra summoning the Purrgil behind the scenes.) Not trying to make excuses for Thrawn, but there was really no way for a non-force sensitive to have contingencies in place for force-related randomness like that. Thrawn himself admitted that "the mysteries of the force were an enigma to ." As they should be.

3.) The Defenders themselves were vastly superior to any other type of fighters in the Empire -- this is driven home multiple times in Alliances, for example, and also why Palpatine felt that the need for them was of =/> importance than the Death Star project itself. The fact that the entire fuel supply for the Defenders was kept in a single yard on Lothal, however, was indeed stupid.

4.) Yeah, wasn't much of a Rukh fan either. He was given some redemption in Alliances as well, but still not enough to make him enjoyable.

I'd put it more due to plot rather than force related shenanigans...but meh. Cause in more than a few episodes, you can blatantly see plot armor.

Who the frack is Admiral Constantine?? That's another thing, I can't remember any characters aside from the main crew and the OT/Legends people, all of the others were just forgettable frankly.

Oh, they were undoubtedly cases of plot induced stupidity. But from an in-universe POV, that's why Thrawn has those losses.


Admiral Konstantine was that douchey looking officer who was introduced in Rebels:
https://i.imgur.com/GmIVAC7m.png

He met his end in the season 3 finale when he disregarded Thrawn's orders at the battle of Atollon and broke ranks.

@Zenwolf

I see. Bad decisions early on, lots of bad content, and simply the overall story they told not making sense. Thanks.

I am surprised that Snoke is part of it.

Why?

I do want the happenings on Malachor during the Jedi/Sith war to be explored, but aside from that I'd like to get something fresh. Unfortunately, It'll probably just be a rehash of the previous Maul works. Meh.

I imagine it'll just be similar to the Jedi: Mace Windu fight, but longer. I still wish we could get a proper Dooku vs Windu duel though, or Anakin vs Grievous. Something new at least.

I'd honestly like to get some material that details Dooku's history when he was a Jedi. That era of his past is criminally unexplored.

^^agreed 100%

I've been asking for that for years.

They'd just butcher it, honestly.

I'm interested in the Dooku, Tarkin and Hux one-shots. Let's see where those go

I'm looking forward to several of these issues... But others just seem like a complete f*cking waste. A Rose Tico issue? Really? ermm

Cool.

It's nice to see that they depicted Dracula next to Van Helsing in those covers.

Holdo would've made for a better one-shot than Rose tbh thinking

Liked the Maul issue. But I have to wonder why Sidious didn't use the super Sith weapon on Malachor considering he obviously knew all about it?

1.) I do not recall if the Temple/weapon was stated to be mobile. If not, then a weapon that was restricted to a single planet wouldn't have been particularly useful to Palpatine at the time, so he would not have bothered unleashing it. He wanted a mobile super-weapon(ie. the Death Star.)

2.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76QnHMSDWwc&t=0m49s
Vader: "You have unlocked the secret of the Temple. How did you accomplish this?"
Ezra: "You're smart. Figure it out."
Vader: "No matter. The power within will soon serve the Emperor."

This could indicate that Palpatine knew the Temple was indeed a weapon, but simply did not know how to activate it. Maul, however, had been stranded on Malachor for untold years, and in that time was able to discern how to unlock it.

Witwer said Maul and Sidious tried to unlock it but couldn't since it required trust in one-another to get to the Holocron.

That doesn't make sense to me at all. Maul lived to serve Palpatine's every whim, and Palpatine trusted him enough to carry out those whims.

I hate when VAs chime in on the story.

I dont. Simply because Filoni discusses their character arc in depth with them. Witwer especially pretty much knows TCW/Rebels Maul as well as Filoni does.

Anyway makes sense to me that Sith by their nature just are not trustworthy. Also as Sith they might not have been aware exactly WHY they couldnt unlock it.

Witwer's comment in this case doesn't make sense, though. Moreover, Maul and Palpatine supposedly attempting to obtain the Holocron decades prior wasn't part of Filoni's plot in Rebels at all, so it seems odd that he'd randomly discuss something like that with a VA when it holds absolutely no relevance to that particular story. Do we know for sure that Witwer got this information from Filoni, or are your just speculating?

Either way, Maul's sole purpose as an apprentice was serving Palpatine's every whim, and Palpatine trusted Maul enough to do so. Additionally, Maul knew exactly where he stood in comparison to Palpatine, and would have never betrayed him back then -- he was a loyal dog, and Palpatine knew this. That being said, the notion that a lack of trust is what prevented them from obtaining the Holocron is silly. All they had to do is lift a few walls and hop to and from the central pillar that was housing the Holocron, ffs.

Did they trust one another implicitly? No, that is the fundamental nature of the Sith. But did they trust one another enough to preform such meager tasks? It seems ridiculous to assume otherwise, imo. Maul was able to snag the Holocron with the help of an unbalanced Padawan that he'd just met a few minutes prior, ffs.

Filoni usually has a backstory which he discusses with the VAs whether thats specifically addressed in the plot or not.

Then of course Filoni will advise the comic book/novel writers on stories they are undertaking which is expanding on one off his arcs.

So the source should be the same.

I dont even know of the quote in question, just pointing out Witwer is a fairly reliable source when it comes to Canon Maul.

That's just it: the notion that Maul and Palpatine attempted to retrieve the Holocron, but couldn't due to a lack of trust between them, was never mentioned(or even alluded to) on the show, or in a comic book/novel. It's just Witwer saying this.

I don't mind actors chiming in on things when their thoughts align with established canon, but it's simply not in their 'scope' to create new aspects of the story as they see fit. If it were, then Hamill's comment about Luke "overdosing on the force like a heroin junkie" in TLJ would be irrefutable fact.

So unless Witwer's statement did come straight from Filoni(or some other official SW figurehead), then it's hard for me to accept, because again, it makes no sense at all.

Seemed more about little Boba than Jango.

Would prefer some pure Jango Fett.

Pumped for the Special, get to see more Mace and Asajj.

Evidently the Special is going to have 4 separate stories: a Mace story, a Asajj story, a Jar Jar story, and a Captain Rex story:


So it doesn't sound like we'll get a confrontation between Mace and Asajj, like the original solicits made it sound.

I'm a little sad, seeing the Komari Vosa/Jango Fett origin story become overwritten. Star Wars: Bounty Hunter was one of my favorite games as a kid.

This is outrageous.

This is really chugging along. From some surface reads everything seems alright. Nothing offensive like the Sequels. I'll give it an in depth look over when it's almost done

A friggin Jar Jar story...

I don't understand why they're trying to keep this character relevant. We already know what happens to him after RotJ, ffs -- he becomes little more than a court jester with dementia/alzheimers... No one cares.

Really good comic

Yeah, he left before. This is made clear in TCW. Or, at very least, he was already a Sith Lord by that time and was calling himself "Tyranus".

Meh

Artwork is nice at the least.

So was this the first time we saw Dooku's Jedi lightsaber? Glad to see it was blue.

Nah we've seen it before in the previous continuity, as a Knight he had a green lightsaber. As a Jedi Master he had a blue one. Unless you're asking within the current continuity then I believe so yeah.

Nothing is missing.

That 'fight' was just Tarkin imagining himself slaughtering his subordinate. Didn't actually happen.

Anyway, I thought the issue portrayed Tarkin's 'Tarkinness' decently enough(better than I expected from Pak, at least.) I also appreciated its direct references to the Tarkin novelization.

Wait. That was written by Pak? THAT Pak?

Greg Pak? The Pak Equation Pak? Hulk Smash Everyone Pak???

I mean TW, previous continuity, Tarkin landed a Republic warship on a group of protesters doing a sit-in at a starport, killing dozens and wounded hundreds.

Of course Tarkin is an ass.

So is the Tarkin comic taking place during ANH?

Near the start of the issue it is noted that Krennic has already been killed. Mid-issue we see Leia aboard the Death Star and the destruction of Alderaan. At the end of the issue Tarkin is critiquing his officers' performances during the operation, and 'disciplining' them accordingly.

Same here, but I was also pleasantly surprised with the Boba issue.

Pretty solid feat for Sheev, yeah. Started mind-phucking Luke from across the galaxy.

A few covers/solicits from the upcoming Resistance arc...

Aside from the Rose Tico issue(lmao), they all sound pretty good.

If there's a single shred of interest I have, it's really just to see what this training for Kylo consists of...and that's pretty much it. Although given these are one-shot issues, I'm trying to not expect much.

It sounds like both the Snoke AND Kylo issues are going to focus mainly on Kylo's training/story. Seems redundant.

I'd rather one issue focused on Kylo's training under Snoke, and the other issue give us some backstory on one them -- either something on Snoke's rise to power, or Kylo's time with Luke as a Jedi.

srug

I honestly feel like Rose could've been an enjoyable character if she was properly introduced in TFA. She feels so much of an afterthought to the franchise that it comes out as shoehorned and not very interesting.

Rose was absolutely terrible. I'd take TPM Jar Jar over her any day of the week.

Doesn't look like she'll be an EP 9 character either, talk about a one and done character. Heh..

I feel like you just massively disrespected Jar Jar by even comparing them.

I mean Jar Jar was far more useful so...

The problem I have about Rose is that it makes Finn go to waste and he's the most original character in the new trilogy (the other original one would be Kylo). But TLJ plot in general went nowhere with most characters.

^ Yeah Finn was the highlight of TFA. But TLJ destroyed him.

So Vader was above everyone in the Empire EXCEPT bureaucrats? Am I reading that right?

I think it was just that particular setting/circumstance, as Palpatine was making Vader subservient to Governor Ahr in order to teach him a lesson. Same basic thing he did when he made Vader serve Tagge in the wake of the first Death Star's destruction.

It is now well-established that the *only* beings who ever properly outranked Vader on a day-to-day basis were Palpatine himself(duh) and Tarkin.

I actually felt some pity for poor vader in this issue

Yeah, Sheev humiliated the shit out of him.

....??.....The First Order makes zero sense.

Man, in a real life scenario soldiers would have already mutinied and shot her in the back

Funny enough, one of her subordinates tried killing Phasma in this issue:

Lol that was to be expected

If you don't wanna lead from the front, then why Captain Phasma are you wearing armor and wielding a blaster?

Also the FO is said to have better troops more akin to Clones, yet...I'm not seeing any of that here.

Maz's Rocket Raccoon moment with Chewie was cringe.

...But is that the Mask of Lord Momin at the end?

I think so, looks very similar

Maz is such an awful character.
