Light week coming for Star Wars comics with only one new issue coming out on Wednesday March 22, 2023 in Star Wars: Darth Vader #32. I already posted the preview for this book a few days ago. If you missed that you can check it out right kriffin’ here.
There are also two comics with a final order cutoff this upcoming Monday in Star Wars: Sana Starros #3 (I’ve LOVED this mini-series so far) and Star Wars: Yoda #6 (which has the coolest 1:25 variant I’ve seen in a minute.)
No obvious keys at the moment but that doesn’t mean they won’t be a key. Just nothing in the publisher’s description that tipped anything off.
Check out everything new coming up below and get your pre-orders in over at TFAW.

HANDMAIDEN NO MORE?
Few bonds in the galaxy are as strong as the sisterhood of the former handmaidens of Padm? Amidala. But all that was threatened when Sab? entered the service of Darth Vader, the man the handmaidens always believed was responsible for Padmé’s death.
Now Dormé, Saché, Rabé and Eirtaé are determined to save Sabé – or stop her, no matter what. But the influence of the Dark Lord is strong and dangerous – and not just to Sabé. What path will the handmaidens choose? And how does all this play into Darth Vader’s true plans?

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 3/20/23 this week.
Let’s dive in…
