You can run, but can you hide from the twin lightsabers of Sith assassin Asajj Ventress? Feel her fury in a tale expertly woven by veteran Star Wars comic scribe Jody Houser. And is Jar Jar Binks' role in the Star Wars story over? Not by a long shot! Because Chip Zdarsky has a rancor bone to pick with the galaxy's most notorious Gungan.
