What’s up every Wookiee! It’s a new week and that means new Star Wars Comics and new Star Wars comics hitting their final order cutoff deadlines.
On deck for for August 17th is Star Wars 26 and Star Wars The Mandalorian #2.
Quick note on Star Wars 26. The other day I posted some spoilers about that book and how there are a lot of first appearances in it. Since that post a lot of stores have sold out and people are getting mad fomo.
Saw some listings for $30 on eBay. Do not overpay for that. Your local stores should still have copies coming in. No need to go crazy when we have no idea if anyone of the 7 first appearances will survive the next 4 issues.
Other than the new books we have a tasty slate of books on FOC TODAY (this post is late sorry) so be sure to get your pre-orders in if you want to lock in your copies.
Let’s dig in.
Marvel Star Wars 26
(W) Charles Soule (A) Andres Genolet (CA) E.M. Gist

The Rebel Fleet is reunited at last, and Leia Organa, Mon Mothma and the other Alliance leaders send a strong message to the galaxy that the resistance to Palpatine’s rule remains as strong as ever. Meanwhile, Lady Qi’ra of Crimson Dawn has activated her sleeper agents across the galaxy, instructing them to cause chaos for the Empire by any means necessary!

Star Wars Comic Book FOC Deadlines
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 8/15/22 this week.
Let’s dive in…

Star Wars Obi-Wan 5
(W) Christopher Cantwell (A) Adriana Melo (CA) Phil Noto
Obi-Wan has closed his journals for now and looks ahead as night falls and the sandstorm that has sequestered him begins to clear. But he discovers something unexpected in the hazards of the Jundland Wastes-a squad of ambushed stormtroopers left to die. But one still has a fighting chance-and Obi-Wan may very well risk everything to save a single injured imperial stormtrooper that can’t help but remind Kenobi of the clones he served with so long ago.
