If you thought Jedi diplomacy was all peace and calm, think again. Star Wars: Jedi Knights #4 drops us right into the galaxy’s most chaotic crime caper yet—featuring criminal masterminds, bounty hunters, stolen credits, and yes, a Hutt-sized problem. 1x5q5j
The new issue ramps up the tension in “The Phaedra Gambit,” and the result is part Jedi thriller, part galactic dodgeball match, and all classic Star Wars. You can pre-order Jedi Knights #4 on Amazon here while avoiding the wrath of a Hutt yourself.
It’s not all chaos. The Galactic Bank of Coruscant has been hit, and the fallout reveals that Senator Bea has been doing some “creative investing” on behalf of less-than-legal clients. The Jedi—specifically Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Shaak Ti—are brought in not to fight, but to unravel a fraud scandal that could shake the Republic.
Oh, and who does this shady tie back to?
You guessed it: Jabba the Hutt.
Enter Phaedra – The Mastermind on the Run 5i72h
Phaedra is a criminal with style, strategy, and sarcasm—think Andor’s brain with Hondo Ohnaka’s charm. Issue #4 opens mid-chase, with Phaedra running from Jedi and bounty hunters alike. She’s got the credits. She’s got the plan. And she’s got exactly zero patience for Jedi interference.
And who’s hot on her trail? None other than Jango Fett. Yeah, it’s that kind of issue.
Jedi vs Bounty Hunters: Galactic Dodgeball Escalates 575jy
From Malastare to Coruscant, the dials up the heat—blasters, lightsabers, and clever verbal sparring fly as fast as Republic credits.
Even the usually stoic Jedi are losing their cool, trying to outmaneuver both criminals and politicians.
Variant Covers: From Retro Hutt Mayhem to High-Gloss Saber Poses l273y
Let’s talk about those covers.
We’ve got a few visual treats in this issue, from the nostalgic cartoon-style Jabba variant (complete with ridiculous planetary backdrops), to a moody and painted Qui-Gon cover that looks like it stepped off a vintage VHS box. Oh, and the “power stance with glowing lightsaber” variant? It’s as dramatic as it is effective.
A Star Wars Heist Worth Betting On 1d1f28
Phaedra might be a thief, but she’s stealing the show here. This isn’t your typical Jedi-vs-Sith showdown—it’s layered, clever storytelling that blends financial corruption, political power plays, and bounty hunter brutality.
Marc Guggenheim (writer) and Madibek Musabekov (artist) deliver an issue that feels like Ocean’s Eleven if Qui-Gon Jinn was the guy keeping Danny Ocean in check.
