In the 25th century, humanity’s quest for a new home leads to a startling discovery about Earth’s unique value—just as a new cobalt fuel promises to power their search. Star Wars Weekly #96 continues its bold exploration of galactic consequences with "Way of the Wookiee!, Part 3: Switch!"—a story drawn with precision by Don Heck and lettered by Artie Simek. The cover, a dynamic blend of Carmine Infantino’s pencils and Mike Esposito’s inks, captures the tension of a universe on the brink.
