In the last episode of SWCIC (episode 44), Mike tackled the Rogue One “sequel” arc from the main run of Star Wars comics called The Ashes Of Jedha, which features Luke searching for further lessons from the Force, Leia & Han travelling to (what’s left of) Jedha to meet with the remaining of Saw Gerrera’s Partisans, including “Two-Tubes” (Benthic), while Queen Trios & Commander Kamchar continue to decimate the Jedha for its resources!
