I'm still a fan of the general format of these Adventures books, but this particular one is all sequel trilogy–related, which doesn't interest me at all. I was glad to see a story about Tallie, but then the story doesn't add anything to her character.

Driving Force collects issues 24 through 26 of Star Wars Adventures, a comic series published through IDW. This series is geared towards a younger audience but many Star Wars fans don't care and dive into these anyways. The artwork is unique but still good and this book contained stories in different points of the Star Wars timeline. I liked the story where Leia and her friend went into the lower levels of Coruscant as it gave a rare view of the underbelly of the uniquely developed planet. I'm not really liking the treatment Luke has been getting in this series (as well as the main Star Wars comics) where they seem to lean heavily into bumbling farm boy who keeps getting into trouble. I understand that he is naïve at this point as he never left Tatooine since brought there as a baby, but I find it hard to believe that he would be as much of an idiot as he's been made out to be repeatedly.

I love getting to jump into different short stories from different points in the canon timeline. I am even more thrilled that many of these were Resistance era.

This volume is just about average for Adventures; there's no extraordinary stories here, just the usual fun, light kids' fare. I liked this one better than some of the other collections for a few reasons. Namely, the Leia and Holdo story that takes place during their time in the Apprentice Legislature - Dawson tells a really fun story and stays very true to both characters as they're seen around that same time in Leia, Princess of Alderaan, which I loved - and the one with BB-8 saving Poe (again!) was neat as well - I can never get enough of Poe's time in the New Republic, and the appearance of fellow future Black Squadron member Kare Kun was the cherry on top.
That being said - the art in this one wasn't my favorite, and the stories are too brief to be very important. Overall, it was a fun read, just not a very "important" one.
