We're doing the time warp as Star Wars continuity takes a hit, then course corrects (at least digitally) as we dive into Darth Vader #13 and see Imperial philosophy up close and personal in Thrawn #2.

There's even a mystery Jedi that has us pondering the events of Christie Golden's Dark Disciple novel.

Not included? News that inaugural line editor Jordan D. White is stepping down to take over as group editor Marvel's X-books. Taking his place as Star Wars group editor is Mark Paniccia.

A change at the top is likely to augur even more down below. What's to come? We'll find out. We'll have thoughts about the change in next week's episode.

The new Star Wars comics out this week include:
_ Star Wars #45
_ Poe Dameron #25
