UNSPEAKABLE REBEL SUPERWEAPON CONTINUES! Hiding out on the world where she grew up, everyone's favorite scoundreless, DOCTOR APHRA, takes a trip down memory [lane].

Plot summaryEdit

UNSPEAKABLE REBEL
SUPERWEAPON
Part III

Rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra has made
a name for herself as a brilliant scientist…as
well as a thief, swindler and obtainer of
ancient valuable artifacts.

But she's also collected quite a few enemies--
the Rebellion and the Empire, to name but
two. Though the rebels kidnapped Aphra and
her ward, Vulaada, they are willing to put
their differences aside due to Aphra's latest
score--a Jedi weapon called the FARKILLER.

Using plans stolen from the Empire, General
Cracken has a secret scheme to create the
Rebellion's own Death Star using the weapon
and with Aphra's help. But Aphra has no
intentions of joining the Rebel forces....

Notes and referencesEdit

Wookieepedia has 8 images related to Doctor Aphra 34.

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 Star Wars: Doctor Aphra (2016) #34 on Marvel Comics' official website (backup link)
↑ Doctor Aphra 2 has a flashback sequence taken 18 years before the event of the story, in which Chelli Lona Aphra told her father that her mother had just died. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas states the Galactic Empire was founded in 19 BBY. According to Doctor Aphra 32, Lona Aphra left the Second Moon of Thrinittik with Chelli when the Empire was existing and also stated that they lived on the planet for 2 years before Lona's death, which means that Lona had to die during or after 17 BBY. Davits Draven died during the Assault on the Mako-Ta Space Docks, which according to Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition, was one year after the mission to steal the Death Star plans. As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the mission to 0 BBY, the assault must have occurred in 1 ABY. Doctor Aphra 2 took place between Star Wars 30, which takes place in around 0 ABY and Star Wars 50. It cannot have taken place in 0 ABY, as Lona would have died in 18 BBY. If the comic took place in 1 ABY, it would mean that Lona died in 17 BBY, fulfilling the above information. Additionally, Doctor Aphra 32 also has a flashback sequence depicting Lona Aphra's death 18 years prior to the events of the comic. As this comic takes place immediately after Doctor Aphra 32, this must also take place around 1 ABY.
