Quick recap

Aphra needs help with a job and offers Luke Skywalker something he badly wants: information about the Jedi. Wary, he agrees. The two head to the Screaming Citadel for a rare gathering hosted by a queen who may be the place's biggest threat rather than its host. Han and Leia go after Luke and land in the same trap. It turns into a horror story inside Star Wars, with parasites, dark hallways and alliances that shift every issue. The crossover ends with the group escaping the citadel and Luke learning the hard way that Aphra can't be trusted.
