Episode #399 -- Down In It

Star Wars Splash Page

The trial of Lando Calrissian comes to its conclusion, amid some heartfelt testimony and, dare we say it, potential clues to the next volume of the flagship Star Wars title in issue #47. In The High Republic Phase III #8, seeds are planted for what's likely to be a wildly chaotic conclusion to the 10-issue maxi-series.
Comics Discussed This Week:

• The High Republic Phase III #8 (11:59)
• Star Wars (Vol. 3) #47 (29:31)

Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:

• Thrawn Alliances #2
  News:

• That Star Wars: The Acolyte one-shot we mentioned before? It's Kelnacca and will be written by Cavan Scott with art by Marika Cresta and due out Sept. 4. Full details when September's solicits come out in a couple of weeks.
• Scores of retailer-exclusive variants are being revealed for the first Ahsoka #1, due out July 10.
• The Acolyte debuted this week on Disney+ (but you probably already knew that).
