Witches, Bugs, and Body Horror

Three articles in this issue get spooky just in time for Halloween! The first is an interview with Ahsoka and Tales of the Empire star Diana Lee Inosanto, talking all about the witches of Dathomir. The other is a look at the Frankenstein-like transformation of Darth Vader as well as a look back at the horror-inspired comic book event, Dark Droids. Last, a conversation with author S.T. Bende and illustrator Iris Compiet about their upcoming book The Star Wars Bestiary, Vol. 1: Creatures of the Galaxy, including the creepy crawlies of the universe.
