In the first part of a three-issue story, the Republic's air superiority on the world of Khorm is rendered moot by storms of unnatural origin. Grounded, Jedi Kit Fisto and Plo Koon plan a daring assault mission with a squad of tougher-than-nails Republic Commandos. But if going up against determined and dug-in Separatist forces wasn't enough, the Jedi must also contend with a glory-seeking young Republic officer in their midst, Captain Kendal Ozzel.

An unprecedented new adventure begins -- leaving former Padawan Zayne Carrick clinging to the side of a comet!

When Zayne and crew infiltrate a comet mine, his partner Gryph believes it's another clever con to capture some quick cash. Little does Gryph know, Zayne and Jarael have other intentions -- like rescuing the miners enslaved by this ruthless mining operation.

Of course, the noble intentions of the team will all be for naught if their plot is discovered. Swimming through stardust is no place to be when enemy ships open fire!

Star Wars: Legacy #38 "Tatooine" (Part 2 of 4) Written by John Ostrander; Pencils by Jan Duursema; Inks by Dan Parsons; Colors by Brad Anderson; Cover by Chris Warner On sale July 29. 40 pages

Living a pirate's life is as easy as bilaberry patogga when you're an ex-Jedi with loyal compatriots -- especially if you're stealing from Black Sun pirates who are stealing from the Empire. Well, it is until both sides figure out your game.

Now under the scrutiny of Black Sun and the Empire, Cade Skywalker and crew are anxious to get away from Tatooine. Agents Gunner Yage and Morrigan Corde are hot on Cade's trail, one of them still having a chip on her shoulder from a past encounter. And Black Sun's Vigo is planning something special for Cade and the Imperial agents. If only the Mynock's engines would start, all this trouble could be left behind...

Q – It was almost like the character won you over despite yourself?   I've heard other interviews where it was almost as if he - Threepio - won you over.  

A – Oh, 100%, because he - or more correctly we should say 'it', although he finds it difficult when he hears 'it'.  Reminds him that he's not a real robot, you know, he's not a real human, just sort of - he, 'it', did win me over because he's a completely different personality so I can look at him from sideways, and admire him or be irritated by him or like him.  It's not me I'm talking about, so when I'm asked to see him on film I can see it in two modes, being picky and thinking 'I wish I hadn't done that, or I wish I'd done less or I could have done more there, or why didn't I do that', and the other bit is thinking 'he's fun really isn't he'.

Be sure to read the entire first part of this interview!
