With Influx the intention was to show Kerra Holt’s first mission. (The novel would release three months later.) Thus, doing a prose story at the same time we did the first comic story made sense. Because Star Wars: Knight Errant was both a comics and a prose project, we wanted to underscore the multimedia nature of the storyline. It is a prequel to the events of Star Wars Knight Errant – Aflame #1, which had released six days earlier to comic shops. “Influx” is the fourth short story that I did for the official Star Wars website. ![]() ![]() ![]() Eventually a raft arrived with their cars on board, but it is just parked vaguely near the bank. ![]() ![]() The three presenters started at a riverside in the Amazon jungle, dropped off by boat (the presenters were supposed to have been helicoptered in to the location, but Clarkson said that the helicopter had crashed before filming).
