Behind the scenes
Although this issue has widely become known by the title Brothers in Arms, the title is nowhere to be found in either the original issue, or in the collection. Randy Stradley, of Dark Horse Comics, has stated that he originally wanted to call it by this title, before they discovered that the title had already been used on one of the three chapter titles of Star Wars Republic 50: The Defense of Kamino. Despite the "titlelessness" of this issue, the name has still stuck.
