Star Was official

FN-2187. Finn. General. No matter what you call him, Finn is a hero. While the former First Order stormtrooper never intended to be a leader, much less a member of the Resistance, the friends he makes on his journey show him there’s so much worth fighting for. 

Throughout the sequel trilogy, Finn is adept at making both quick quips and rousing speeches. Here are just a few of our favorite lines from a hero who really is a big deal in the Resistance.

1. “Finn. I like that.” (Star Wars: The Force Awakens)

In the midst of a daring escape from the First Order, Poe Dameron takes a moment to help his new friend choose a name instead of a designation. It’s Finn’s first step into a larger galaxy

On Dol’har Hyde, deep in the Outer Rim, what remains of an ancient Nihil battleship has been swallowed by the trees.

But Doctor Aphra and Sana Starros are intent on unearthing the secrets enshrined in the mechanical remnants left behind by the fearless marauders. What awaits them inside the devastation of the ancient battlefield? Judging by StarWars.com’s exclusive first look, untold treasures and one very long fall.

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #8, from writer Alyssa Wong and artist Minkyu Jung, with a cover by Joshua “SWAY” Swaby, arrives March 24 and is available for pre-order now on Comixology and at your local comic shop.

ATTACK OF THE HUTTS!

The HIGH REPUBLIC JEDI clash with HUTT forces. GAMORREANS! NIKTO! BATTLE RANCORS! STARLIGHT BEACON over-run by a creeping

The High Republic is a period of prosperity. But in the dark corners of the Republic, something sinister is creeping in the shadows…the Drengir! These plant-like predators want little more than to sink their teeth into the creatures of the galaxy. Monstrous mounds of vegetation-like bodies with writhing thorny vines and a blaster in “hand,” the Drengir are formidable foes even for a Jedi Knight.

You would never keep these verdant villains as a houseplant, but you can make your own DIY Drengir planter to add a nod to the High Republic to your home décor. Add a spiky or unusual plant inside and you’ve got a creepy, creeping conversation piece like no other.

This droid doesn’t just co-pilot starfighters anymore. Now he’s cooking up breakfast.

It’s taken almost 40 years, but we will finally see a Jedi ride a rancor.

On the cover of Marvel’s Star Wars: The High Republic #6, revealed below on StarWars.com, Jedi Master Avar Kriss sits perched atop the towering creature, lightsaber ignited and ready. Illustrated by modern Star Wars comics great Phil Noto, it’s a completely arresting image, both fun and surprising, with an ironic wink at audiences’ first introduction to the creatures; rancors debuted in 1983’s Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, becoming an instantly iconic movie monster when Luke Skywalker tussled with one of the beasts in Jabba the Hutt’s underground pit. 

In addition, you can get a first look at Peach Momoko’s beautiful, watercolor-style variant cover below, featuring a dreamlike take on Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis.

Just like in our galaxy, the dog-like creatures of Star Wars make great best friends. Some may look like monsters, and some might actually be monsters, but all of them are fond of a gentle pat on the head and a yummy treat. These creatures aren’t exactly pups — some of them don’t even have a patch of fur — but they are just as steadfast as any canine pet on our own planet.

Let’s meet six creature companions who live in the galaxy far, far away; whether they’re at the side of a scoundrel or a faithful friend of a Jedi, these good “doggos” all deserve a good belly rub.

1. Barghest (Star Wars: The Force Awakens)

They look absolutely terrifying with all those teeth and red eyes,

133: “Victory and Death” (Season Seven, Episode 12)

Synopsis:

In the wake of Order 66, Ahsoka and Rex must work together to survive.

Analysis:

What does it mean to let go? At different points in her life, it’s a Jedi teaching that has surely meant different things to Ahsoka Tano.

In her youth, perhaps it meant allowing herself to conform to the Jedi Order, letting go of her attachments to her family,

“Oh, poodoo!”

Even with Dengar joining forces with the Ohnaka Pirate Gang, the Weequay scoundrels are no match for Beilert Valance. Thanks to Han Solo, the cybernetic bounty hunter is now determined to help aid the crew of the rebel transport, even if it means risking his own life and limb in the process.
