Monday Morning Coffee is the weekly news roundup for Star Wars Discussions. This week: One new comic, Featured posts, toy announcements, and more!
Hello there guys! You may notice that it is not Monday, it is not the morning, and I am not your usual host! That's right, this week our moderator and journalist @Givinname is snowed under in Texas. We are unsure of when he will be able to return, so for this week, I will be doing the edition of MMC.
I think we could all use a cup of caf to warm up, so grab one, and let's dive into this week of forum news.
