In the first issue of Star Wars: Dark Droids #1, we saw The Spark – now The Scourge – making its way across the Empire, taking over every droid it encountered and putting them to work to murder their human masters in the Imperial star ships. In Star Wars #37 out from Marvel Comics today, we see the infection spread…

…first among the Rebel Alliance themselves, with C-3PO taken over by this new sentient force, who sees no difference between Rebellion and Empire, it's all just meat sacks in control..

…. but also, it seems, to the droids captured and tortured in Jabba The Hutt's Palace back on Tattooine. Which way will the cyborg Lobot go? Will he be a pawn of a champion? And when will anyone notice that something is weird going on with these robots? And, set as this is before the Return Of The Jedi, how long will it be until Jabba The Hutt is torturing droids again? Today's Star Wars: Max Rebo reminds us of how that could go as well…

First, it comes for the metal, then for the muddle, then for the mind…
