Today we discuss Out of the Closet: The Assassin's Tale. Dannik Jerriko has come to Jabba's Palace, and he's ready to reveal himself to increase people's fear and make their soup taste even better.
Today we discuss the Shadows of the Empire comic. In public, Prince Xizor is the head of a powerful shipping company, but in private he is in charge of Black Sun, a vast criminal empire. He is the third most powerful being in the known galaxy, behind only Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. Xizor hates Vader and looks for ways to undermine him. When he learns of Vader’s interest in Luke Skywalker, he decides to kill the Rebel to make his rival look bad. Luke, Leia, Lando, and Chewbacca are trying to rescue Han after the events at Cloud City. Boba Fett still hasn’t made his way to Jabba’s Palace and they are trying to intercept Slave I before he gets there. To help them, they’ve hired a hotshot pilot named Dash Rendar.

Today we discuss Tongue-tied: Bubo's Tale, the story of Bubo, the frog-dog we see a number of times in Return of the Jedi, who has been in the background of a few stories in this collection. In particular, he really hates Ree-Yees. He’s also friends with the B’omarr Monks.

There’s just one problem: a certain Jedi shows up and disrupts things.

Today we discuss Specter of the Past, the first book in the Hand of Thrawn Duology. The Empire is on its last legs. If not for infighting in the New Republic it would be destroyed by now.
