Very very good. I know its a prequel so its not really a complaint but most of the storyline is just an excuse to give exposition on certain aspects of the original trilogy. It stands on its own as a story but it'd be a bit boring if you didnt understand the references

Snow was a terrible character and a walking contradiction. Did not find following him enjoyable in any way.
