Farzala and Qort are ready to take the next steps, but Lula can’t shake her emotions, as is the Jedi way.

Through it all, though, they are guided by wise words of the Jedi: for light and for life.

FOC
For those who aren’t familiar, FOC, or Final Order Cut Off, is when publishers and distributors require retailers to get their orders in. Printers then print according to that number (sometimes with overages). So, if you want to absolutely guarantee you get a book, best bet is to order it before FOC. Final Order Cut Off is Monday 2/21/22 this week.
First up, we’ve got the continuation of Darth Vader’s storyline in the Crimson Reign event. The Sprouse variant has the first cover appearance of Moff Gideon and the first canon comic cover appearance of the Dark Troopers.
