This Week in Star Wars Comics: Battle of Jakku carries the week

As a lifelong Star Wars enthusiast who has been following the comics since the days of the old Expanded Universe, I must say that this week’s offering, “The Battle of Jakku – Republic Under Siege #4,” was nothing short of thrilling. The narrative tension and character development have been top-notch, making it a must-read for any Star Wars comic fan.

Instead of Next Wednesday sharing its issues, next week boasts an impressive six issues or trade paperbacks, among them being The High Republic wedding spectacular, perfectly timed for the holidays. But this post doesn’t discuss all those titles; instead, it focuses on just one title that is wrapping up phase two of the current comic event, a significant milestone.

This Week in Star Wars Comics, we discuss The Battle of Jakku — Republic Under Siege #4

In the ongoing conflict between the developing New Republic and the remaining Imperial forces, both parties are grappling with the consequences of victories and defeats. Mon Mothma faces a damaging revelation about someone near her, while assassinations pose a threat to the Resistance. Meanwhile, Imperial Warlord Moff Ubrik Adelhard is grappling with the deception of the Kijimi Spice Runners, orchestrated by their leader, Zeva Bliss, who has chosen to act independently, a characteristic common among scoundrels in the Star Wars universe.

Lando Calrissian is grappling with difficulties since his troops have been defeated. Luke Skywalker needs to make tough decisions quickly in order to reunite with his companions. Meanwhile, Adelhard plays the deadliest card possible, concluding this installment of the The Battle of Jakku comic series.
