Ep 319: GALAXY's EDGE with Ethan Sacks
Q: How did you get picked for Galaxy's Edge five-issue miniseries?
I had a mix of prior work, a good relationship with the Star Wars editor, and an opportunity to pitch a project tied to the real-world park; it felt like the right fit to break into the Star Wars comics space.

Q: How many issues do you anticipate for this arc?
We are doing three deluxe-sized issues; issue one is 40 pages and the next two are 30 pages each, structured as acts of an action movie.
