On one such night, Anakin Skywalker and his Twi’lek friend Daesha try to summon the ghost of a much-loved relative for a final goodbye. But when Anakin makes contact with the Nightlands, the answer is anything but friendly…

Excellent

Wasn’t sold on this storyline going in, but Cavan Scott (as usual) flipped my initial impressions on their head and delivered. He is brilliant
