This post contains a preview for Star Wars: Jango Fett #4
Summary
Star Warshas confirmed a core truth about all the confrontations and wars in the established canon. Regardless of the era and the factions involved in any given war, the true winner has remained the same throughout the timeline. This is revealed in the new preview for Marvel’s canonicalJango Fettseries, showing that the news will always benefit from ongoing crises (just like in real life).
In the new preview forJango Fett #4from Ethan Sacks and Luke Ross, the titular Mandalorian bounty hunter has allied himself withAurra Singand the young revolutionaryNakano Lash(both of whom will one day work with Jango’s son Boba). However,this new preview begins with a Holonet news team discussing the day’s programming, and the vast majority of it centers on the various crises that will eventually lead toThe Phantom Menace’sBattle of Nabaoo (and beyond):
As confirmed by the human producer, the galaxy is on a knife’s edge. However, he also confirms the idea thatwhile war is bad for the Republic, it will always be good for the Holonet’s ratings.

The Star Wars Galaxy Is On The Brink Of Several Major Wars
And The Holonet Will Cover It All
The Holonet serves as the biggest news source in the entireStar Warsgalaxy. Having existed as far back at least to the High Republic Era and as far forward as the New Republic Era,the Holonet has covered all the biggest galactic conflicts and crises that are seen in the movies, shows, books, and more. As such, it’s interesting to see them here in this new issue, especially at a point when galaxy-wide conflict is about to take hold of the galaxy on a fairly consistent basis in theStar Warstimeline.
While the main focus of this newStar Warsseries is naturally Jango Fett fulfilling one of his biggest jobs before being hired as the genetic template for the Republic’s secret clone army, it’s also been revealed thatChancellor Valorum is struggling to maintain order, all while the Trade Federation threatens to put up planetary blockades, just like they eventually do with NabooinThe Phantom Menace. To that end, it’s fascinating to remember that the Holonet was there to record and report it all to the galactic public.
Even In A Galaxy Far, Far Away, Crises Get Ratings
Whether It’s The Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War, Or Beyond
The idea that fear and crisis earn ratings is nothing new, especially in the real world. That said, the parallels are quite poignant, especially when the producer suggests adding in a piece of celebrity relationship news to break up the doom and gloom.Regardless, this preview serves as a key reminder that the Holonet was more often than not thriving in theStar Warstimeline(even during the Empire’s reign when the galaxy-wide news source faced overwhelming censors).
