It was fun. Great character stuff for Qi'ra. Hilarious character stuff for Vader. But relied a lot on other comics to make sense why certain characters - like Aphra - were important.

I like that this story connected Aphra’s storyline to Luke and Leia’s but it still felt very “stale”.

I would like for Charles Soule to write more Qi'ra, please.

I knew what was going to happen, but that didn't stop me from crying during the last few pages. An excellent ending for Qi'ra that truly honours who she always was.

This was a truly melancholic story. I loved getting Qi’ra back, and it felt right to have a story of a failed attempt to destroy the Sith, especially at this point in the timeline.

This comic is top tier Star Wars.

I’ll admit I was feeling like the war of the bounty hunters and other tie-in stories were getting old. The first issue was alright, but issues 2-5 blew my socks off. I was practically jumping up and down and swearing every few pages. I felt like this was a perfect TPB. Chefs Kiss.

the waterfall base, Momin shoutout, Palpatine constantly dissing Maul, classic Vader one liners, ancient sith technology, the Amaxine station, Qira being ruthless “she was just a character in mine”, Palpatine and Vader fighting side by side “no survivors”, and wrapping up the Knights of Ren

Charles Soule delivers yet again. Easily one of my favorite comic book writers in recent years. I love how he tells Star Wars stories.

He took a character I had no interest in and gave her a place in the Star Wars universe. I was intrigued to see her story take shape over the past few years.

Something happened with Q'ira that I did not expect. I cared. And that itself is a victory.
