No offense to Alex, but Molly always has the best shirts. I didn't know until today how much I needed a Darth Maul tie-dye tee in my life.

The new comic announcements were neat and it’s great that we’re FINALLY going to post ROTJ, even if it’s still tied up with stuff pertaining to Jakku. Not quite going into brand new territory, but it’s a start.

Star Wars Explained is one of the most genuine Star Wars YouTubers. He loves all star wars, old and new and how i wish many people can be.

I'm so excited for the new Yord and jecki novel and the undara and vernestra novel!

[derekhill]

A maxi-series is typically 12 issues. It’s the next level up from limited series (usually 4-6 issues) and a step below an ongoing series (like what Star Wars has been doing with their main line)

[Solo]

Inferno Squad did appear as antagonists closer to the end of Bounty Hunters so I'd think there's definitely a fair chance we see them again.

27:27 Doesn't Vernestra literally say in this scene "you're alive"? I think Mollie might be right here

[Tridentboy]

It’s only a matter of time before they finally touch upon Luke’s Jedi temple, most possibly using comic books as the medium.

Q&A: Why didn't Sol try to explain to Osha that he killed Aniseya by mistake because she scared him and he thought she was in danger? Could he have had a bit of a subconscious death wish out of guilt that kept him from making a stronger case for his defense (which he could)?

Thanks to Mollie and Alex! 😎 I think y'all loved DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE (2024) because it's pretty lovable.

[erickepley]

I love that Mollie thought we might think the Stanly Cup was the trophy and not the water bottle, meanwhile I am thinking it was a Stan Lee Cup, which sounds awesome

To the D23 Talk. In 2022 at D23, they premiered a Mando S3 trailer, a final trailer for Andor and a trailer for Tales of the Jedi. All in one presentation! So, it's possible we get some stuff in August!

[Solo]

Definitely agree that 4 issues has not been enough for many of the latest comic minis. Jango Fett was pretty good IMO but that's the exception to the rule. I did like the first Inquisitors issue so hopefully that one will turn out good as well.

[Mattinalf]

Theres a trick with the oreos. Look on the underside of the packaging at one end. Theres a string of numbers that ends with either A or B. Its been a minute so I don't remember which is which anymore but I think B was blue and A was red.

[livliveart]

So excited!!! Operation Cinder is really interesting, and I've wanted to see the Battle of Jakku depicted more. There's a *lot* of room to explore the fall of a fascist regime, so I have high hopes.

[txdrummerboy]

Thanks so much for the shout out at the beginning. It wasn’t necessary but, is very much appreciated … Alex and Mollie, keep being awesome!

[neofulcrum]

Looking forward to the insurgency rising comic

Q&A: Do you think we'll might see Skeleton Crew be releasing as the next Star Wars TV series since The Acolyte Season 1 is done or we might see other Star Wars shows coming before Skeleton Crew comes out?

[TyrannoNoddy]

With Vernestra and Qimir, I'm expecting a Luke and Ben Solo situation, where yeah something happened, Qimir was giving off some major red flags, and at some point he pushed things too far and Vernestra confronted him and things escalated and he was injured. She thinks he died, but obviously he survived, now probably pushed even further into the dark after feeling rejected, and found by presumably Plagueis.

[nadyaakins]

I’ve recently rewatched The Clone Wars animated series, and it’s not really stated how Qui-Gon Jinn was able to become a Force ghost, he only states to Yoda in his disembodied voice that his training was incomplete, so how from that was he able to manifest himself in Obi-Wan Kenobi later, and yes I know he states there that Obi was not ready before that point, but what I want to know, was Qui-Gon training when he was alive?, and how he completed his training after death?
Alex I agree with you, I think Qimir did a dark deed that made Vernestra take action to stop him, and from there he fell into the dark side.
