Episode #457 -- The Cutter

In Marvel's Jedi Knights #5, Yaddles come to the aid of Count Dooku, helping save his life in an issue that not only channels the recent Disney+ show Tales of the Jedi but adds to the Prequel Trilogy lore about the Jedi Order's demise. In Dark Horse Comics' Hyperspace Stories -- Codebreaker #2 (of 4), Poe Dameron is the man with a plan, even if it's questionable, as he strives to save the Codebreaker from the First Order, thanks in part (or a lot) to BB-8's driving skills.
