Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 33: Yoda’s Stonepower Master & Secret War Before TPM (Star Wars #26-30)

This week Mike delves into the arc of the main Star Wars comics featuring the near-900 year old jedi master Yoda, set before The Phantom Menace! This arc includes Yoda saving a force sensitive child from pirates, learning a “new force power” from an unexpected master, living rock and how Yoda’s involvement in a secret war catches up to Luke nearly 35 years later!

For the first two & a half minutes of this pod, Mike talks about the new weekly Mandalorian show under the SWCIC banner on this feed, there are no spoilers in this episode (so fear not!), but you can just skip to the 2 minute mark if you aren’t fussed!

Mike also recommends checking out the last four episodes of season 6 of The Clone Wars (episodes 10-13) as they centre around Yoda learning about force ghosts, Dagobah and other Force-related things (you don’t need to watch any other episodes of CW as these four standalone).

For Yoda's Secret War, Jason Aaron was the writer, with Salvador Larroca as the artist and Edgar Delgado as the colourist. The cover artist was Stuart Immonen. Issue 26 was released December 2016 and issue 30 was out April 2017, the trade paperback (vol 5 of SW) was out July 2017 and this arc is included in the Journals Of Obi-Wan Kenobi collection released mid-November 2020.

Last week, in episode 32, Mike tackled the other 4 stories present in the Journals Of Old Ben/Obi-Wan which focus on his time on Tatooine, so be sure to check that out too!
