    The wait is in all likelihood going to kill me, mind you.

    You omitted to specify the quantity then! Has to be a few gallons, hmm?

    September 2, on the other hand, will be a day that will kill us. So much Star Wars ALL AT ONCE.

    That's a brilliant cover, I like it better than the original.

    It's kinda fun how TCW and Rebels were all, "When something with Kyber Crystals 'splodes, or gets 'sploded by it, rings are the norm."

    I might wait for the Trade as well. I've been buying monthlies for the ongoing series, but since this is coming out so quickly I can wait until November.
    Though who knows how well my willpower will hold up when I'm in the comic shop with issue #1 right in front of me... :p

    All these special edition explosions are just die-hard fans of The Undiscovered Country.

    If it's only four issues long and there are a few remaining pages in the trade paperback, it's 128 pages so probably the remaining 30-something pages will be the C-3PO comic which could be identified if true a one-shot issue.

    Or they'll just do a 4-issue, 96-pager..... Don't think it's beyond them, it's not.

    The TPB is 128 pages long but the 4 issues will come to be 96 pages so the remaining 32 pages could be the C-3PO one-shot definitely.

    Could be - will it? I wouldn't put anything past Marvel, could easily fill that out with a load of variant covers and behind-the-scenes material.

    Or they just change the page count.

    Once it's solicited, probably in the Nov solicits, then we'll know for sure.

    The Threepio one-shot is most likely going to be tagged onto the end of the Shattered Empire trade. It's also a way to sell a 5 issue deep trade paperback of a miniseries that is technically only 4 issues. But, hey look, here's a Threepio Shattered Empire one-shot too!

    I'm guessing in the October Solicits will have 2 issues of Shattered Empire plus the Threepio one shot probably out each week.
