    Whether he survives or dies, he has to disappear (hiding, presumed dead) some time before ANH.

    Yep, sadly I'll miss this celebration too, I did make it to C3, which was some time ago now, but it was amazing. You have to get to one someday, it's a great experience, total blast.

    It's like... it's like... it's like you've been accepted by one of your kind. At long last.

    NIce!
    • So it for sure starts with a 'present day Rebels' frame story (looks like during the middle or so of Season 1).
    • Also suggests that 'The Last Padawan' is the arc title, and it's given a chapter/issue title as well. (Chapter 1: Fight)
    • Clone Wars are defined as lasting "Three Plus Years".
    In the last preview panel, there's a nice reference to some of Caleb's thoughts as presented in the prologue of A New Dawn.

    So this series is one massive flashback?

    Can't wait for our first prequel centred star wars series from Marvel

    Be interesting if each Arc starts with a 'current' Rebels frame story.

    Appetite status: whetted.

    Definitely picking this up Day 1; for all its flaws, I do love me some PT-era. Plus, I'm curious about the Dark Times and really, really curious about how eager-for-conflict Caleb Dume became the Kanan Jarrus we saw in A New Dawn.

    From the description of this series on wookiepedia I sort of get the impression that each arc of will jump around the timeline of Kanan's life.

    Eg

    Arc 1 (last padawan)- Caleb Dume as a fugitive padawan
    Arc 2- Kanan post A New Dawn

    Hmm. Jordan D. White, any light you are authorized to shed on this? At the very least timeline placement of the framing story? Thanks!

    The thought of seeing Kanan and Hera post A New Dawn just got me really excited. It would be cool if they also covered the circumstances under which Chopper, Zeb, and Sabine joined their group in this comic, but I also wouldn't mind if those stories were told somewhere else.

    I think it'd be cooler if Zeb and Sabine's Ghost origins were told in novels like A New Dawn, that way they'd work as a sort of novel series.

    I'd buy ten copies of a John Jackson Miller novel covering Sabine's origins.

    There's a story begging to be written - comic, novel, or whatever - about Zeb, Kallus, the massacre on Lasan, and Zeb eventually ending up aboard the Ghost. Begging, I tell you.

    This really looks like the only SW Marvel comic series that seems really worth reading.

    I'm enjoying all the Marvel titles, but this still continues to have my favorite art of the lot.

    Still hope arc 2 is a new dawn adaptation just so I can see if vidian actually looks like that terrifying guy from Shark Tank
