Star Wars Vol. 2: Operation Starlight by Charles Soule

1.0

I don't know what happened. I really enjoyed the first volume of Charles Soule's series set right after The Empire Strikes Back. But maybe I'm just not in the mood for this right now, because I found volume 2 to be contrived and ineffective. Someone died during that mission to retrieve an old droid from a museum, and no one really seems to care? (Also, as much as I dislike Doctor Aphra, why have a plot about stealing an artifact from a museum and not have it involve her? Perfect opportunity to feature her in a bit part here.) The foil Soule created for Leia is generic, and her suggestion that she had destroyed Leia's hope—by...failing to kill her when she had the chance...?—has no payoff; Leia hasn't changed.

Overall, just a bunch of artificial peril and bland characters and situations.
