    Aphra cloned, clone killed? So Gillen can scratch his 'killing characters' itch and we can still have adventures with Aphra? :p Though my work-around likely wouldn't be something "loads of people are going to be VERY excited about."

    Oops, sorry. I actually meant "Are we finally going post-TESB" and not post-ANH. When I wrote that post, it was already late in the evening. Now it's not-so-early in the morning and I finally realized my mistake. :p [face_ouch]

    Hmmm... is Gillen implying that we will see Death Star II in issue #50?

    @Darth_Voider sounds like it. If he is talking about the Death Star that pretty much means the series will be switching focus between the Rebels and the Empire during Gillen's run (which would make since he would want to do that). The Rebels can't learn about the second Death Star until just before ROTJ so they couldn't be anywhere in the vicinity when that story is being told.

    Aphra can't die. She is Snoke, Rey's mother, the first jedi...

    Don't forget Aphra also still needs to be little Ben's babysitter. Tell Luke and Leia about Padme. Go hunt down Jedi relics with Luke. Search the galaxy looking for force sensitives to join Luke's acadamey. All kinds of more jazz like that.

    I liked this arc, the ending with Han sort of bumbling into being a Rebel hero was kinda neat and Luke's showdown with the big bad had some action oomfph to it.

    The Ashes of Jedha TPB was released today at $0.99 (!!!!!) on kindle.

    Gotta say, I already debate whether it's worth paying 4 bucks a month for these when you can get 6 issues for 5 bucks by just waiting a few months, but these amazon sales REALLY push me strongly towards waiting.

    Just got round to reading this arc and this is exactly the first thing I thought...when Bail gives Leia the mission he doesnt know about stealing the Death Star plans, her mission was meant to be to find Kenobi...

    Has this ever been explained by anyone?

    Actually I guess this conversation with Bail was after Rogue One goes to Scarif and the Rebels decide to change their plans from just recruiting Kenobi to getting the plans?

    Yeah, all we know from Rogue One is that Bail calls for Captain Antilles, saying he has a mission for him, while the Rogue One team is leaving Yavin 4. Then later the Alliance intercepts an Imperial transmission that Rebels are on Scarif, and Raddus goes off to fight. The panel from #40 actually seems to show Raddus in the hangar, so it seems like he (and Bail) have just got the news, and will have worked out that Jyn's gone there to steal the plans. Bail has his talk with Leia in the comic, and she presumably heads off with Raddus to board the Tantive IV inside the Profundity's hangar.
