An absence of official Star Wars comics is no reason not to podcast, not when we have the chance to talk with Aaron Russell, the writer of Jace Wars, a stirring and heartwarming comic that frames family, awareness and kindness using Star Wars as a lens for hope.

New Star Wars comics out Feb. 26, including:
_ Star Wars (Vol. 3) #3
