rewatched Rogue One again last night. The stormtroopers are pretty good shots in that too, apart from when they are shooting at Chirrut in one scene,

Same-old-planet-wise, it's really only touched on Tatooine, but as we know the destiny of the galaxy swirls around those twin suns: changing the branding of the whole saga to Tatooine Adventures wouldn't be misrepresenting it much.


Perhaps it's time that Tatooine opened up a second cantina though - one drinking place on the entire planet!  No wonder Tosche Station gets used as a general meeting place (the Anchorhead Hunting Lodge doesn't count, as you have to be a hunter).
We see a different bar in Mos Pelgo in chapter 9

I'm sorry if I've missed something, but isn't [spoiler]Boba Fett dead[/spoiler]? 

[spoiler]Boba being alive[/spoiler] has been part of Star Wars lore for decades. If you don't see a body in Star Wars, death is never certain.

[spoiler]Going only by the evidence of what's presented in the OT, of all the characters to return Boba's is the most plausible: he wasn't struck a fatal blow; he has armour and a jet-pack, and Jabba's sail barge blew-up rather spectacularly over the mouth of the Sarlacc – all that fiery debris probably damaged it severely, or killed it.[/spoiler]
The sarlacc kills you by digesting you over 1000 years (which makes no sense as it'd have to keep you alive and feed you that long) so 4 years or so since jedi its probably only digested a part of bobas face, the beskar is probably reasonably sarlacc proof.
[spoiler]The other part is potentially answered earlier in the season. Going from memory but isn't it mentioned the Krait Dragon got his cave by eating a sarlacc from below? Now we don't know if it was 'the mighty sarlacc' but it probably stopped digesting boba when it started getting chewed on itself ? [/spoiler]

There is a Billy Joel song (and album) actually called Storm Front. With lyrics that would kinda fitted .. and they didn't use it  :o

I have three pics here, none of which match your description, though one does feature the ring of stars in the design:
I mean, all those panels appeared in the comic in the decade following Dark Jimbo's post so he was probably unaware of them at the time :D
welcome aboard.

Phew, I took the risk of not changing my delivery address with Hachette during lockdown, as they were bound to fudge something up, and rely on the postal service handling the books till our office reopened. 10 books waiting for me today

Volume 2 hardback seems to be up now and available to order

Has to be Dabnett for me. I loved Nemesis back in the day but other than Savage (and not always Savage) Pat's recent work does nothing for me I'm afraid. Abnett is constantly inventive, witty and fun to read. Uncle Pat isn't any more.

They tried to usurp Tharg in a way Joko Jargo hasn't even thought of yet. No wonder he's grumpy about their largely forgettable contribution

Mine arrived this morning. I can finally look at retiring my folder of old look and learn clippings. The second vol HB isn't available for pre-order yet is it? I'm going to get paranoid about missing it

black plastic bag. Mashed corners on my Dante. Mail sent to Hachette. How long do they usually take to reply ?

I'm so in. I've got a folder of pages cut from Look and Learn I've had for decades I can finally retire. The stories are very much of their time and its very similar to Dan Dare in that aspect if not genre. The art elevates it well above where it would be otherwise though. Every page is a joy.
