So they rob the idea of a space born city/base on the back of a space fading creature...

I'm really diggin Dr, Aphra character. I'm sure it's reminding Vader of his free spirit ways when he was Anakin Skywalker. I'm sure deep down he's enjoying Dr. Ahpra on these missions but I'm afraid that she is going die in the end by either Vader or possibly sacrifice herself for Vader.

Good book over all so far. I only wish this was made as an TV series.

Soo darth vader actually had a sense of humor? Sort of? I mean he didn't seemed to get pissed when she said she was joking he went right along with it.... I can see Anakin having a sense of humor but not darth vader.

Can someone please fix the CBM calendar? I'm pretty sure there's only one FF4 reboot coming out this year.

Doctor Who was far from the first to coin that trope.

@TheBeard I am the same way, I always here the live action voices in my head when reading comics. Glad I'm not the only one. Awesome ginger beard pic! As far as people copying ideas... It is what it is. People will find anything to complain about.

Why do people keep saying Star Wars is sci-fi? Sci-fi means a type of story set in a futuristic setting that could actually exist in the future with plausible technology. Star Wars is space fantasy, a universe with tons of cool but implausible stuff in it, pseudo magic/mysticism heavily prevalent and a lot of classic fantasy tropes engraved into its setting, story and characters.

Calm down nerds, you're both right. This is why the term science fantasy exists.
