I like Doctor Aphra.......

Is doctor Aphra still alive or this a prequel?

I was going to ask the same thing.

Well, for obvious reasons clearly it has to be a prequel.

I thought she was still alive, due to her droids saving her at the last second, and thus all of this is a continuation of her story post being ejected into space by Vader.

Well I haven't read this series so I don't know. I remember Cylo had a bunch of clones that would be awakened every time Vader killed him. I figured it was possible to bring her back through that. Death doesn't seem to last even in star wars....

Also Dark Strangers comment seems to suggest she is still alive so I am hearing conflicting comments....

Was this confirmed? I haven't been reading this series.

Yes this is/was confirmed a while back.

It is, her big problem right now is that she knows Vader is going to hunt her down if he gets wind she's still alive.

Looks great.
