| In the Star Wars galaxy, automatons are so much necessary property, but even first-degree droids are considered expendable! Set before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope and the formation of the Empire, Droids features the adventures of protocol droid See-Threepio and astromech droid Artoo-Detoo in the Kalarba system (as seen in DHC #17, 18, and 19). Despite their differences, See-Threepio and Artoo-Detoo know that the best way to survive is to stick together. Thank the maker! | |||||||||||||||||

| A gang of interplanetary thieves steal See-Threepio and Artoo-Detoo from the Pitareeze family, and take the droids to Kalarba’s moon, Indobok. The droids meet a nefarious character from their past, and realize that their troubles have just begun! | |||||||||||||||||

In this issue, Corellian rogue Jace Forno leases the dysfunctional duo for a deadly mission to the moon Indobok! | |||||||||||||||||
Droids #5 – Short Cut | |||||||||||||||
|  | ||||||||||||||
| In the droid trade the only use for old units is as spare parts and scrap. So even See-Threepio is impressed when he and Artoo meet veritable antiques Q-E and 2-E, two diminutive Model-Es who have operated a nursery for several generations of Kalarbans. But despite their longevity, Q-E and 2-E carry a horrific secret that could spell the end for all droids! | |||||||||||||||

As Olag Greck makes his final stand, Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio race against time to save the industrial moon… but first they’ll have to survive Greck’s droid armada! | |||||||||||||||||

Droids : The Kalarba Adventures | |||||||||||
|  | ||||||||||
| Years before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio journeyed to the Kalarba system where they encountered the notorious Olag Greck for the first time. After Artoo and Threepio were acquired by the Pitareeze family, the droids found themselves in a series of misadventures with pirates, bounty-hunters, and rock monsters! These stories brim with the wonder and whimsy that made the characters so popular in the films, as Artoo and Threepio do their best to stick together in an often dangerous galaxy. This volume collects the three chapter serial (featuring bounty-hunter droid IG-88) from Dark Horse Comics #17-19, Droids #1-6, and the 8-page story first published in Topps Star Wars Galaxy magazine. It includes all of the original cover art and is wrapped in a new foil-enhanced cover by Kilian Plunkett! | |||||||||||
