Things get interesting between Tey and Vildar Mac as Oliviah lays dying in the desert in the pages of The High Republic (Vol. 2) #8 (of 10), while in Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) #30, Chelli seemingly gets her wish to die surrounded by beautiful women.

In Bounty Hunters #33, Inferno Squad lays its trap for the hunters, while IG-88 disrupts the grab for power within the Unbroken Clan, much to Vukhora's delight.

Finally, the Ewoks one-shot delivers a dialogue-free mix of stories featuring some prominent murder bears in a wholly satisfying, utterly entertaining story that blends love, fear, murder and optimism. It's an instant classic.
