We're so deep in smit with Doctor Aphra right now it's not even funny. The latest issue, #22, found Jeff and Matt enjoying the rollicking tale, despite the awkwardness of having not one but two lovers show up!

The woes of Poe are compounded by Black Squadron's inability to rally allies to the cause in this, their most desperate hour in the pages of Poe Dameron #29, while Han Solo proves his mettle, skill and pluck as the best pilot in the Galaxy in Star Wars #51 in what portends to be a head-to-head duel with Darth Vader.Finally, in the pages of Darth Vader Annual #2, writer Chuck Wendig weaves associated elements of Star Wars lore from film and the printed page to tell an engaging, if not spirited, whodunit that further cements the oddly balanced relationship and mutual non-aggression pact that is Wilhuff Tarkin and the Dark Lord of the Sith.This week's Star Wars comics include:Doctor Aphra #22Lando: Double or Nothing #3Star Wars Adventures #12A Star Wars Comic #16Stay in touch and up to date by following us on Twitter and Facebook.Like what you hear?

There's a sublime yet stellar feeling through out the milestone Star Wars #50 as readers' notions of hope, and all that word portends, takes a sinister turn.In the pages of The Last Jedi Adaptation #4, we're entranced with how the creative team has added some complex context to that film's story without detracting from the action in the slightest.We're also keenly interested in how Poe Dameron's actions in The Last Jedi film will play out during his mock court-martial at San Diego Comic Con on July 20 when The Legal Geeks mount a vigorous case against the hot-shot pilot and Black Squadron leader for his mutinous actions against the Resistance during its escape from the First Order.Legal Geeks' Josh Gilliland explains how the court-martial came about, what to expect and more about the law in Star Wars, not to mention whether Doctor Aphra is running afoul of galactic law with her, ahem, acquisition of rare artifacts!Also, we say it's episode #70, but it's episode #69.

It's as if thousands of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. Well, not so much silenced as they learned that Marvel's Star Wars: Poe Dameron series ends its run in September with issue 31, bringing the title that debuted in April 2016 to its conclusion.As fate would have it, Poe Dameron #28 is the topic du jour of this week's episode -- Hey! Thanks, fortuitous timing! -- and if "The Awakening, Part III" is any indication of how the series will end, it's in very good hands.This week's Star Wars comics include:Doctor Aphra #21Lando: Double or Nothing #2Stay in touch and up to date by following us on Twitter and Facebook.Like what you hear?

A darkly disturbing yet satisfying end to the "Mutiny at Mon Cala" story arc in the pages of Darth Vader leaves Jeff and Matt in a reflective mood, while the appearance of Nightswan -- again! -- has them wishing Thrawn was more than six issues long.Also of note is the belated news that Doctor Aphra is getting the exclusive treatment at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, coming as a 3.75" figure and joined by Triple Zero and BT-1.
