Description

Day 28. Thirty-one days of Star Wars (2026 edition).

As we near the end of Star Wars month time to post my most recent acquistion.

The Darklighter story arc within Star Wars: Empire strongly contributed to the expanded universe fleshing out of this character. Before the deaths of Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen, Biggs Darklighter's presence among the Rebel Alliance was one of the primary motivators for Luke Skywalker to join the Rebellion, making him one of the most consequential - yet least prominent - characters in the Star Wars films. This page finds Biggs after the mutiny on board the Rand Ecliptic led by Hobbie Klivian, as he finds Hobbie was also in charge of a Rebel sleeper cell as they interrogate an Imperial officer. Fun fact - a minor ESB character but a deep EU dive, I chose the name Hobbie for one of my SW hockey jerseys, IYKYK).

This is the May!

Dark Horse was moving digital at this stage, and the pencils went straight in the computer for contrast adjustment and coloring. Makes for a nice board though!

Right about now, you're about to be possessed by the sounds of Wheatley, Rob Base, and D.J. E-Z Rock

It takes two to make a Biggs go right
It takes Luke to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a Biggs go right
It takes Luke to make it outta sight

I wanna rock right now
Rebel Base and I came to get down
I'm not ecliptically known
But I'm known to rock acquisitions
Because I get stupid, I mean courageous
Stay away from me if you're Las Vegas
Cause I'm the winner, no, I'm not a loser
To see an Wheatly is what I choose-a
Ladies Hobie, girls adore me
I mean rebellions who never saw me
Like the way that I rhyme at a show
The reason why, man, I Doug know
So let's go, cause

It takes Luke to make a Biggs go right
It takes Baru make it darker light
It takes Luke to make a Biggs go right
It takes Luke to make it outta sight

RIP Rob Base. So many high school dances.

Man, Wheatley does some really outstanding work here. The precise, tight, finely detailed lines are a sight to behold!

Wheatley's highly detailed penciling work when he worked on Dark Horse Star Wars was so damn good! He gives me Quitely vibes but with even more clear definition in his lines (not as soft as Quitely). It works so well. I'm so glad I picked up that Dark Times cover he did several years ago (I also updated that scan so you can see the amazing linework more clearly. Go check it out when you have a chance even tho you already didn when I posted the original lighter scan I had on file)

This was such an outstanding series.  Along with Crimson Empire, this was the best of the Dark Horse books (in my opinion).
