Podcast Stardust #766: Dark Side Princess Leia – Star Wars News

by Podcast Stardust

This week’s Star Wars news begins with Jay’s take on news from San Diego Comic Con announcements, and then we discuss the upcoming “what if?” story where Leia joins the Dark Side of the Force.

Jay is back from her travels, so she and Dennis begin the show catching up on the Star Wars publishing news from San Diego Comic Con. Next, they turn their attention to the recently announced Reign of the Empire trilogy and their thoughts on the setting and how it relates to other Star Wars stories both on the screen and in the books. After that, they are discussing an upcoming “what if” story from the pages of Darth Vader #50. The show ends with a brief discussion of some more guest announcements for Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025.

In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:

  • Jay’s interest and excitement for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,
  • A longer discussion of the Star Wars publishing announcements from San Diego Comic Con,
  • Some deeper thoughts on “Reign of the Empire,”
  • The announcement of the back-up story from Darth Vader #50 where Princess Leia joins Darth Vader on the dark side of the Force, and
  • New guest announcements for Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025.
