Episode #391 -- The Rose

Star Wars Splash Page

The adaptation of Thrawn Alliances ends with a cliffhanger and what's surely to be another four-issue mini-series collecting the second half of the Timothy Zahn novel. In Darth Vader #45, Enric Pryde proves his mettle -- and loyalty -- to Vader, despite his fellow Schism Imperial members' bewilderment. Finally, The High Republic travels to Phase II as Tey Sirrek takes center stage in Phase III in a story that provides clarity and romance in The High Republic #6.
