Ratings and reviews

The art is fantastic and the story is exciting and very Star wars. The only issue is the writing is really, really cheesy most of the time. Also, the dialogue seems to be aimed at people who've never watched star wars before because it treats the reader like someone who just stumbled upon the franchise instead of fans (who its for).

Sana is everything wrong with modern Star Wars. If it wasn't for Darth Vader, Boba Fett, I would've rated it 1 star. She should've NEVER been part of the story. She has no place and you can just feel it

I never was one for expanded universes, but i decided to pick this up, and I was not disappointed. Knowing the movies have large chunks of time between them that are vaguely explained in 3 paragraphs, these comics help fill in the gap between episodes 4 and 5. Also brings alot more character and motive to why characters act the way they do in the movies.
