Comics Star Wars: Age of Rebellion

Not really.

Spoiler

Papatine influences him through the Force, giving him a vision of everyone around him dying because they didn't listen to him, which then spirals out to show what would happen if Luke followed through on his guilty feelings. We see him abandon the Rebellion, sink his X-wing, and live out a humble life until he reaches old age.

We then return to the present. Luke fights Palpatine's influence off (not that he knows what it is) and helps save the day. It's showing what Luke might do if he's pushed to a particular extreme -- an extreme TLJ presents us with. So it's keeping Luke in-character for both films, I'd say.

 

A follow-up on this:

I just got around to reading Galaxy's Edge #2. Wooro the Aqualish speaks in the same runes as the Jawas in Age of Rebellion: Jabba. Of note:

- The straight vertical line character that I took to be a comma in Jabba is used as both a comma and the letter K in GE#2.
- Both the rhombus-shaped character from Jabba and the ' character are used as apostrophes in GE#2.
- A rune I was unsure about but took to be the letter C in Jabba is also used as a C in GE#2.
- GE#2 gives us the rune for the letter B.​

Process of transliterating the Aqualish lines in Galaxy's Edge #2:

Spoiler: Aqualish runes

First speech bubble (which has a minor line-wrapping error): Applying our known Jawa runes, we get

I C A N '
T T A K E M U C H
M O R E O F
T H I S .​

The straight vertical line character that I took to be a comma in Jabba seems to be used as a K here. A rune I was unsure about but took to be the letter C in Jabba is also used as a C here and in later panels.
Second speech bubble:

Y E A H ,
Y E A H .​

Now the straight vertical line character that I took to be a comma in Jabba also seems to be used as a comma here.



We're given a direct translation here that matches character-for-character with what we've deduced so far.

I W A S W A T C H I N G . . .
Y O U W E R E I N M Y W A Y.​

But here there is a line given in the translation that does not appear in the speech bubbles, as well as some extra/miscellaneous runes surrounding the sensical words in the speech bubbles.

E D I D Y O U
S E E T H A T W O O K I E E
A T T A C K M E H G .

E H E ' S
P R O B A B L Y
R E S I S T A N C E
S C U M ! G .​

We learn the rune for B here.

Ugly table of runes we've learned so far: (missing J, Q, V, X, and Z)

EDITED TO ADD: I should make special note of this rune from the Jabba issue: I can't tell from the single instance it appeared in a strange context (see the last section within the 'Jawa runes' spoiler quoted above) which letter (or possibly punctuation mark) it's associated with.
ALSO: This rune is occasionally used as an apostrophe:

As @Daneira noted, Dok-Ondar in Galaxy's Edge speaks in the same set of characters as Benthic in the main SW series and the Tuskens in the Jabba issue. Since Marvel has already made repeated use of both that set and the above set, hopefully this reference table will be of use in the future... If not, maybe I'll justify the time sunk into it by using it in fan art or RP stuff or something.

 

Given enough time... those runes will end up on a soda can.

 

Darth Vader preview.

Spoiler

 

This is great, an Imperial Venator and V-Wings.

 

Vader's comic came out, completing this series of comics. And... I loved it very much!
In principle, I like all cartoons with Vader's participation, this not a secret.

Spoiler

To be honest, I was very angry with the story. Again, Vader was put in a humiliating position. The Emperor is a bastard... But this fat bureaucrat is much worse. Such an ugly guy, honestly. He dared to push Lord Vader around, yell at him and send him on pointless, suicidal missions! Prick... In the end I was so much pleased with the cosmic crab (oh, I adore GFFA!), and milord did cleverly and rightly.
This picture caught the feelings...

 

Spoiler

Space crabs are the worst. I'm surprised Vader didn't use shampoo and a comb to kill him.

 

Spoiler

It's GFFA! Are you still not used to it?
Everything is possible there!
Galaxy of my dreams... Honestly...

 

Spoiler

Honestly the Vader comic is the first time I've seen were working for Watto looked actually harsh.

 

Spoiler

Watto treated Anakin badly. He beat him. It's written in the novelization of the prequels. And there is the comic "Anakin Skywalker: Adventures", there Watto, too, far not chamomile...

 

Spoiler

So, considering the technology showed in this issue puts the story closer to ROTS in the timeline, and that the planets in which the battles take place are all in the Mid Rim, could we say that this story is part of the Reconquest of the Rim?

 

Read all of these issues basically haphazardly but they're all one shots anyway so it doesn't matter what order, I think the Tarkin issue ended up being the last one I read. I loved the weird Jacked Tarkin in his own mind, but I'd say the Luke having a Force psychic fight with the Emperor was great and the Vader one because it promised on the "To the letter" in the title.
