After the last twist, the companions go in hiding and spend some time with a new group that has an interesting history. The empire is still in pursuit and that's how this plays. It is an anticlimactic part of the story, a calm before the storm.

Another forgettable, inconsequential Star Wars graphic novel, with the same terrible cut-and-paste artwork as the other volumes. Luke and the dialogue between Han and Leia are not as terrible as usual.

I absolutely love Kieron Gillen's takes on Star Wars. Fun with a deep appreciation of the lore. He weaves fast paced tales that take time for small, quiet moments and deepens the mythology. Absolute stellar art

I read this book online when it was released and just bought a physical copy at my local comic book store, so I gave it a re-read. It's one of my favourite stories of this serial!

Although the art... oof, the art. I think the first and last issues are done by one artist, and the middle ones by a different one. The first one isn't great, but it's at least original. The second, though... that tracing... why. It's incredibly distracting to recognize in every frame the exact expression the actors had in a specific scene from the movies or a promotional photo. I don't know why they kept that artist for so long, but it's one of my least favourites. Props for half-naked Han, though.

Even though I jumped into a random volume and didn't have to context of what had been going on in the series, this was easy to follow and fairly entertaining. I feel like this particular comic is quite episodic.

But...I had to get rid of a star for the disturbing shot of a shirtless Han Solo. I am scarred for life.
