This entry in the series feels unnecessary. It's more of the same from the original trilogy, which I love, but don't necessarily need more of. There wasn't anything particularly new or fresh here, unless you count the very spoiler-y bomb that was dropped at the end that I don't care about at all--felt like a stunt and not at all true to the story.

I'm not a comic book fan, but this one was surprisingly fun. It's part of the new Star Wars Canon and takes place after Episode IV: A New Hope. There was plenty of action and adventure with Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie, while also having enough plot to make it worth reading. I won't say it felt like a Star Wars movie because Lucas never focused on the everyday battles of the Resistance, but it felt true to the characters and that is what matters the most.

After reading the first two volumes of Kieron Gillen's 'Darth Vader' series I thought it made sense to go back and start the Star Wars series too as the events in both series run alongside each other and crossover occasionally.
This was A LOT of fun to read and adds so much to Luke's story after A New Hope as he tries to come to terms with Kenobi's death while struggling to believe in himself as a Jedi. The relationship between Han and Leia is amusingly frosty as always, too. It's nice to have the gang back together, it's like being amongst old friends again.

It's pretty good. I like the drama. I don't really like the way some of the panels of Han Solo are drawn...kept jerking me out of the story to go "WHAT is wrong with his face??"
This might be a personal problem of Star wars saturation but I just don't feel all that invested in the story/mission. I like Leia. I like seeing Mon Mothma again. I just can't bring myself to care all that much about the Han Solo conflict or the Luke subplot. I'm going to keep reading and hope I get more into it. I have all the Darth Vader issues so I'll try to sprinkle those in at the appropriate times.

Technically a reread. This is a perfect first trade for the Canon comics. Jason Aaron has every major voice down pat.
