What is the media like in the Star Wars Universe? Are there 24-hour news channels? Well, tomorrow's Star Wars Free Comic Book Day 2025 special looks at the emergence of the character Venee by Charles Soule and Stefano Raffaele. It also reveals the in-house media reports of the destruction of the second Death Star in orbit around Endor and how the media reported the news, presumably before it was systematically disassembled by the New Republic.

Reporting the Death Star as a "major imperial battle station" as you wouldn't want its official name to be so… final. The emperor, as well, of course, would there be a conclave to follow? Puffs of white smoke? But there was another death to report and the hand of the media to play.

The death of Darth Vader, with far more obsequious propaganda from the media, and the death of everyone on board the Death Star. I think Kevin Smith did a thing about that in Clerks.

You can catch up with all of Bleeding Cool's extensive Free Comic Book Day coverage this year, with announcements, giveaways, signings and spoilers with our handy FCBD tag. I guess there will be quite a lot today and tomorrow.
