For multiple reasons, the past few mainline issues of The High Republic Adventures have fallen flat on their face. Chalk it up to these issues containing too many characters and storylines, transitions between artists, or a seeming lack of focus; it’s a sad ending for one of the best in the publishing initiative. Sadly, it’s a similar refrain with Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures issue #18.

Entertainment Weekly has published a new interview with Benjamin Bratt about what it was like taking over the role of Bail Organa from Jimmy Smits, his interactions with series creator Tony Gilroy, and the possibility of returning for the role. Bratt first appeared in the sixth episode of the second season of Andor, and had a slightly larger role in the second half of the season. Smits was unavailable to reprise the role.

The official Star Wars YouTube channel has shared behind-the-scenes footage of Diego Luna, Adria Arjona, and Genevieve O’Reilly’s last days on set for Andor. With the series finale later tonight, it marks the conclusion of Luna’s nine-year journey as Cassian Andor, beginning with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The footage highlights a full day of work for the three cast members, going from makeup and costuming to filming, to the actors getting their farewell gifts.

Something that Star Wars:Hyperspace Stories – The Bad Batch: Ghost Agents has nailed from the start is its tone. Replicating the goofy, wisecracking, and sometimes absurd antics of Clone Force 99, the series is perfect for fans of the animated series. It also helps that many other fan-favorites make a return. The Bad Batch: Ghost Agents issue #3 keeps that streak alive with humor, intense action, and more guests.

Over time, the characters of Padawan Gavi Takitaken and double agent Driggit Parse have really grown on me. First introduced in the middle-grade novel The High Republic: Escape from Valo, and further developed via other one-shot comics, the story of these two is one of finding themselves and learning to make an impact in whatever “small” way they can. Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures – The Battle of Eriadu helps to bring these two’s story some finality.
