#SWPD2023: What Is Star Wars Revelations? Vader’s Vision Of The Future; A Droid Threat, Doctor Aphra, Luke’s Saber Crystal & More (Star Wars Revelations 1) – Ep 120

IT'S #STARWARSPODCASTDAY2023! DARTH VADER HAS A VISION OF THE FUTURE, SHOWING THE RESURRECTION OF AN ANCIENT DROID THREAT! For ep 120, Mike delves into the one-shot special by Marc Guggenheim which stretches across all ongoing runs of Star Wars comics (excluding The High Republic) to give an idea of what new threat is looming during & after the Hidden Empire crossover event. Vader sees many potential futures thanks to the Eye Of The Webbish Bog, but what do these futures all mean and can Vader change any of them? Mike gives his interpretations, but would love to hear yours! This is a must-listen for fans of the 2020 runs of Star Wars, Darth Vader, Doctor Aphra and Bounty Hunters comics!

Star Wars Revelations 1 was released November 23rd2022 and was written by Marc Guggenheim. Guru eFX & Dono Sánchez-Almara are the colour artists, while Salvador Larroca, Pere Perez, Emma Kubert, Justin Mason, Paul Fry & Wayne Faucher are all pencil/ink artists who worked on the comic.
