Star Wars-Licensed Tissues To Be In Much Demand On Back Of Shattered Empire #1….
Today sees the launch of Star Wars: Shattered Empire, or to give it it's full name, Journey To Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Star Wars: Shattered Empire #1 by Greg Rucka, Marco Chechetto and Andres Mossa.
And amidst all the post-Return of The Jedi shenanigans regarding blown up Death Stars and retreating Imperial forces cross Endor, at its heart is a love story between a married, couple, the kind that rarely get told in such works of fiction, preferring stories about the start of relationships.
So meet Lieutenant Shara Bey, part of the Rebel Alliance, and the second successful assault on the Death Star. But she has other concerns….
And then there is Kes, one of the Pathfinders working with Han Solo.
And a journey through select Star Wars cast, characters and setting.
But no worries…not for now at least.
As there are other concerns. Meet Sergeant Kes Dameron.
And a moon of Endor to explore during the big end-of-film party.
Which does give us, our first new-canon bed scene, but at least it is with a married couple. Not sure of one of them kept their foot on the floor at all times, in accordance with the old Hollywood Production Code Administration…
But then things all go wrong again.
And you can just bet that a little conflict-of-interest pulling rank as a result…
Will only lead to terrible things, panic and guilt…
Of Mice And Ewoks?
I get the feeling these will be needed soon….
