Marvel Comics announced today that they will be issuing reprints of multiple comics based on “Isolated printer flaws,” including Star Wars: Darth Vader #41 and Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #39 according to Bleedingcool.com.
This kind of thing has become all too common as I’ve heard a lot of comic shops have received damaged copies of Star Wars 42 which is due out tomorrow and appears to be a pretty significant comic issue for the main Star Wars run.
Hoping they get it figured out soon… or find some new printers/methods of printing their comics… or use better paper… SOMETHING!
But I am happy that they are rectifying the issue and making sure no one who was expecting a copy of either of these two Star Wars comics… goes without.
Here’s the solicit info if you’re a retailer needing to fix any issues.

Also, if you’ve been super busy or live on Jakhu or something, Star Wars announced a brand new Star Wars movie today, The Mandalorian & Grogu! It will be directed by Jon Favreau and is currently scheduled to start production later this month.
This is a brand new movie and is not replacing any Star Wars movies currently on the slate for Lucasfilm. Including the Dave Filoni movie that appears to be a new canon version of Heir to the Empire.
Speaking of Filoni, the same release also said that he is currently developing a season 2 of Ahsoka! I expected this to be the case and it’s not surprising at all but still nice to get the official word from the mothership.
That’s all for now you beautiful wookiees.
For light and life!
