SWCIC: Visions Special: What Came Before The Duel? Prequel Comic: The Ronin, The Shogun & Battle Scars (Visions 1) – Ep 124

WHAT DID THE WANDERING RONIN DO BEFORE THE DUEL? For ep 124 (& April Fool’s Day), this episode is technically not “canon” as it takes place in a Star Wars Visions continuity, more specifically, The Duel. This comic is a prequel to The Duel animated episode, which is also linked to the Ronin novel. Mike explores The Ronin’s story, confirms connections along the way and gives his interpretations to the ending. Star Wars: Visions 1 was released on October 12th 2022 and it was written by Takashi Okazaki, who also did the artwork and the colours. Aki Yanagi did the English translation and the book Ronin was written by Emma Mieko Candon.
