Publisher's summary[]
AFTER THE DAWN… COMES THE REIGN! The story that began with WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS continues here, in the second installment of a trilogy that will reshape the history of the Star Wars Galaxy during the Age of Rebellion. Featuring the return of beloved characters, shocking twists, epic feats of the Force and a story that will reach from Star Wars' darkest underworld all the way to the Imperial Palace on Coruscant, Crimson Reign is a Star Wars saga like no other!
Continuity[]
- One panel erroneously states that the Black Sun smash-processing lab was located on Lothal.
- The issue depicts Deathstick as a human, even though she was previously established to be a Dathomirian Zabrak by the 2015 video game Star Wars: Uprising.[3]
- Ochi is seen with the Blade of Ochi of Bestoon. However Shadow of the Sith established that he didn't receive the blade until the quest for Exegol in 21 ABY. Also, Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker established that the blade was inscribed with information about the DS-2 Death Star II Mobile Battle Station's wreckage meaning that the blade must've been created after Battle of Endor.
