    Wonder if in issue #5 Ren and his gang will betray Qi'ra and finally become Palpatine's servants.

    I could see that; then they can give me a Knights of Ren monthly.

    Since Fermata Cage was a surprise to Palpatine, seems to me that Ren could start a double play only shortly before Qi'ra contacted him in issue #4.

    That would be one way of filling the gap left by the Vader series.

    Not the best way - while making Knights a gang of comedic bastards was a good idea, IMO, that is also the reason why their presence should be limited to prevent the plot of becoming a farce.

    Comedic in comparison to Luke, Rey, Ben, Vader and Palpatine sure. But to everyone else?

    It seems like they're being given the SCAR Squadron treatment. But then again they did go out like chumps in TROS.

    To most of all too, because Knights have nothing but comicality (well, quite a bad reputation after TRoS too), no drama, they were not even chased much by the Empire. In contrast - Aphra is also quite a comedic character, but as well one of the most tortured (both physically and mentally) characters in NU canon.

    Are there any significant tie-ins to this story? I've only been following the mini and Star Wars, which seems completely unconnected.

    Doctor Aphra is the only series that is tying in with this one

    Finally got the issue; I wonder who Qi’ra was speaking to after the Knights of Ren(!) I’m kinda hyped they’re back to be honest.

    They made one of the classic blunders - engaging force users in melee.

    Yeah it sucks to see your bolts reflected back at you, but you still have a better chance of getting a lucky shot through than beating someone with super reflexes and years of training in a sword fight.

    Cool weapon designs though, fun to see.

    I like how Palpatine is basically treating this as a vacation. No bureaucracy or machinations or dark side experiments, just chopping people up with lightsabers.

    His visit on Ryloth in Lords of the Sith seemed to be his vacation as well, including the hunt on the local population.

    I felt like that just ended up being a supreme waste of time.

    Again, it’s just this mystery box BS style of storytelling that just leads to… nothing.

    Sinre Edit: Unmarked spoilers.

    Crimson dawn is defeated Vader pushes the spark eternal out of aphra , The femata Cage contained nothing that important the Knights of Ren became sheev's pawns. The Archives message was being told to Luke and jedi Padawan Leia And Qi'ra Surives to Post endor
