Greetings, my bombad friend, and welcome to this edition of Monday Morning Coffee! Let's follow the path that was paved in the past as we review what our community talked about as well as Star Wars news in general! I'm grateful you decided to trek with me, so let's begin!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🗞️ Star Wars News
New Releases
The first new release of the week was volume 5 of the 2020 Darth Vader series, where, interestingly, instead of donning an all-white look like I'm accustomed to, the cover has Sabe wearing a dark black fit under her white cloak. I wonder if this symbolizes that she is becoming more influenced by Vader in some way...
As with all of these, if a new release you see here does not have an official discussion posted for it yet, you are more than welcome to create it yourself if you would like to discuss it.
Episode 3 of Bad Batch: Season 2 released, and, if you would like to discuss it with the rest of the community, you are welcome to join in on the discussion @Lord Lothcat kindly made for us:
Additionally, @BubbleBreeze24680 made the poll for those who want to rate the latest episode:
As volume 5 finishes a section of the Darth Vader series, issue 30 continues it, and, I must say, this series, if nothing else, has some of the best cover art of any comic.
Phase 2 of the High Republic carries on strongly as issue 4 of the 2022 seires came out...
... and following it, the second issue of the High Republic Adventures released with an awesome Kyzuoian Jedi front and center. I still haven't finished up phase one of the High Republic, but phase two looks to have much promise so far!
Rounding us off with the new Star Wars releases, the seventh issue of the first season of the Mandalorian comic series was published.

And, just like that, the trail has ended and, while it was dark at times, we walked it together, and, because of it, we grew as a community, more united, more understanding and more grateful for each other. Thank you for being here, my friend. I pray that you will have a good week. The Force Will Be With You Always.
