The creative team behind Marvel’s Star Wars, writer Kieron Gillen and artist Salvador Larroca, more or less had their book figured out from its first scene. The in-continuity series begins with Vader entering Jabba the Hutt’s palace not long after the end of the first Star Wars film. He wordlessly murders two guards with his lightsaber, demands an audience with Jabba and, once he has it, finds himself berated by the sluglike gangster: “You arrive a day early, kill two of my guards, and expect me to deal with you?”
Vader stares at Jabba behind his expressionless helmet and intones, “I have only killed two. Do not make me reconsider my generosity.”
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
