New Star Wars comics this week: Darth Vader, The Mandalorian, and more
It’s a BIG day for Star Wars and Dork Side of the Force!
ANDOR IS HERE! The new series, with the first three episodes up on Disney+, enforces that Wednesday belongs to a galaxy far, far away. When your down catching up with Andor, be sure to take a look at the new Star Wars comics that dropped this week.
New Star Wars Comics: Darth Vader #27, The Mandalorian #3, and Hyperspace Stories #2
In Darth Vader #27, Darth Vader and Sabé’s collaboration has always appeared doomed to failure. How much longer can the idealistic Padmé Amidala handmaiden and the Dark Lord of the Sith find common ground, after all? Something will snap as Vader and Sabé engage in the decisive conflict with an evil Imperial governor. Which will win—icy Vader’s resolve or Sabé’s genuine affection? How long will it be before Ochi of Bestoon finally acts?
In a preview on StarWars.com, we see Vader stand in the way of the corrupt Governor Tauntaza as she thinks her sandstorm-creating fortress will destroy him. Vader, however, has plenty of tricks up his sleeve that Tauntaza doesn’t know about.

Darth Vader #27 is written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Raffaele Ienco, with cover art by R Rahzzah.
Also releasing this week is The Mandalorian #3. Injured and returning to his client to collect his prize and receive medical attention, the bruised Mandalorian encounters circumstances that make what should have been a straightforward task far worse than anyone could have imagined.
StarWars.com also provided a preview for The Mandalorian #3, we see Mando turning in the credits he was given for his bounty to the Armorer; the fact that they were beskar credits, purged by the Empire, draws ire from some of his Mandalorian brethren.

All is not as it seems when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa explore a world with mountains that might be beneficial as a new base. Luke and Leia must take a risky journey over a harsh environment while fleeing imperial stormtroopers in order to avoid being captured or worse, suffering at the hands of the Empire.
