Rookies: Rendezvous -- Week Eight Annotations
Monday, Strip 36 -- Welcome to the Power Dive (or so says the neon sign), not exactly a bar recommended to tourists of Ord Mantell. Among the barflies seen in this first panel are a Baragwin, a Weequay, an Advozsec, a Duros and could it be? A big green bunny?

The Toydarian isn't given any name in the script, but I like the opportunity to mix prequel and classic aliens freely like this.

Tuesday, Strip 37 -- We haven't seen Skorr since the first week. And it stands to reason that his head gear may let his hearing pick up on things like unguarded references to the Rebellion.

Wednesday, Strip 38 -- Also lurking in the background are an Ithorian (a herdship is in town, after all), a Morseerian, and possibly, this week's WTS candidate, Cane Adiss...

Thursday, Strip 39 -- A greasy spoon diner, inspired of course by Dex's Diner. The first panel has a speeder truck parked around the back, suggesting a blue collar establishment.

And yes, the suggestion here is that Raal made a mess. Good thing they had an ASP droid on hand with a mop.

Friday, Strip 40 -- The Snivvian proprietor of the diner is clearly not concerned about any health codes.

That's it for this week. Next week, so more folks who we haven't seen in weeks return as a number of paths start to converge.
