It’s a great question, and one that could fuel a thousand podcasts – who is Chelli Aphra? My wookiee-roaring buddy Kelly Knox asks that same question and delves into the details over at StarWars.com.

She’s worked for Darth Vader and lived to tell the tale, smiled at Emperor Palpatine, blasted baddies alongside Princess Leia, gotten into a bar fight at Luke Skywalker’s side, and kidnapped Hera Syndulla. She’s also endlessly inventive and unpredictable, has questionable morals, and is the only Star Wars character to take the comic book galaxy by storm without ever being seen on a screen.

We could only be talking about Doctor Chelli Aphra.

The good doctor is back in an all-new solo comic series by Alyssa Wong and Marika Cresta, and a new audio drama, Doctor Aphra: An Audiobook Original by Sarah Kuhn; let’s meet the fan-favorite antihero.

Remember, the audio book is out now, so do your ears a favour and give it a listen.
