Star Wars: Droids #6

The six-issue Star Wars: Droids series from Dark Horse reaches its conclusion with a cover by Kilian Plunkett that puts C-3PO front and center in a surprisingly dramatic light — the golden protocol droid stands atop a massive, smoldering war machine, one arm raised as wreckage and defeated figures scatter around the glowing, molten core below him. It's a striking image that reframes everyone's favorite anxious translator as a figure of unexpected triumph. A fine send-off to a 1994 miniseries that gave the galaxy's most put-upon droids their moment in the spotlight.
