Re-read - maybe I didn't go to the library but actually collected the individual issues?
Please note that this comic series is now part of Legends, and is no longer canon within the Star Wars expanded universe.
We have three short tales in this volume:
1) Random cool guy rescues a hot chick from the Rebels (you heard me). We know he's cool cos he has a toothpick in his mouth during an intense vehicle chase scene. Name drops General Bel Iblis, from my fav Star Wars novels yaaaas;
2) Han meets an old friend. The art for the first half of the story is not my cup of tea (Han is unrecognisable) but it appears a different artist illustrated the second half. Events in a previous volume are referred to - I always like to see continuity;
3) My boy Luke encounters a Clone, tying the original and prequel trilogies. Stories involving Luke get extra points from me so no surprise I liked this.
As usual, I generally liked the mix of stories and art styles. On to the next volume!

Surprisingly fun. A series of short stories in the period between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back.
