ah yes Palpatine's iconic Fortnite message....

The problem with movie adaptions nowadays is there not based on early drafts so we don't see things cut from the final film. If this comic had been published 30 years ago we might have gotten to see the giant spider.

God, what I'd give to see the Duel Of The Fates script adapted.

"I made Snoke. I made him tell you to take that ridiculous mask off... However, because we need to shift merchandise, I'm going to have to tell you to put it back on. Say, have you heard of the art of Kintsugi?"

"It'll also make the ADR work much easier when they try and give the movie a plot during editing"

"Look at me with my *crafts*. Perhaps I really am at retirement age! Eh heh heh heh."

Clones begin swarming around and making reassuring "Oh stoppit you look marvellous" noises

So does this actually fill in any of the massive gaps in the film or just - repeats it?

Like all these adaptations (Mandalorian et al) it's just the movie, only in comic form. There must be a market for these since they keep making them, but I don't see the point, personally.

Almost as pointless as the novelisations. But hey, at least this way we get to see some purty pictures!

Slightly purty, anyway.

[shakalooloo]

Movie novelisations do sometimes feature internal monologues adding some otherwise unseen/unknown context, but the comics don't seem to have that amount of leeway.

The one for The Last Jedi did.

Hopefully Finn gets to do anything cool in the comic. Also maybe Rey and Rose speak to each other.
