Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 13: How Luke Lost His Saber to Grakkus The Hutt (Star Wars #8-12)

This week Mike returns to the main run of Star Wars comics, this week focusing on the book/volume 2 story-arc “Showdown On The Smugglers Moon” featuring comics #8-12, set shortly after A New Hope and it includes Grakkus The Hutt’s jedi relic collection, Han Solo’s wife Sana, Dengar the bounty hunter facing off against Chewie and more!



This run of Star Wars comics are written by Jason Aaron, pencilled by Stuart Immonen, inked by Wade Von Grawbadger and Justin Ponsor is the colourist. Issue #8 was released August 2015 and issue #12 was released November 2015. The collection of these was released in January 2016 (which also includes #7, the first in the Journals Of Obi-Wan, which will be covered in a later episode).



Towards the end of the episode, Mike talks about what is coming up as well as the future Q&A episode! Mike will speak about volume #3, issues #16-19 “Rebel Jail” next month, so be sure to subscribe to ensure you don’t miss a single episode of SW Comics In Canon!
