Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 48: The Mutiny At Mon Cala; Ackbar’s Homeworld (Star Wars #44-49)

This week, Mike tackles the 6-part arc in the main run of Star Wars comics; Mutiny At Mon Cala, which includes the rebels trying to break the Empire’s stronghold on the Mon Calamari’s fleet and their people, a rescue mission, a space battle, a shapeshifter in a 5-hour long opera and more!

These stories were written by Kieron Gillen with Salvador Larroca as the artist and Guru eFX as the colour artist. Issue 44 was released March 2018, 49 was released June 2018 and the trade paperback collection was released August 2018.

Be sure to check out episode 7 of SWCIC for the Allegiance mini-series (a Mon Cala story set in the sequel era), plus check out the first 3 episodes of season 4 of the Clone Wars for the Mon Cala civil war arc – also keep an eye out for future episodes of SWCIC where Mike will tackle the 2017 run of Vader comics, issues 13-18 serve as a prequel story to this one!

The last episode of SWCIC was a book review, where Mike gives some information on The High Republic era before delving into the 3-part review - the first is completely spoiler free, with some vague information on the book’s themes, vehicles & etc while the second will have some very light spoilers, plot details and character information with the last part giving more information about certain aspects and Mike does not spoil the story or what happens to any characters in this recording!

Mike now has a Patreon, where this review was released a day early and there’s an exclusive new show “Afterthoughts”, with 2 episodes being *FREE* to anyone – one of which is S1 of the Witcher series and the other is The Phantom Menace, as Mike & Megan have started a full Star Wars run-through!
