adventurous
informative
mysterious
tense
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
4.0
Like the previous issue, this is very good on the action. Almost feels like watching a movie at times. I liked the drawings, except for the Obi-Wan story.
Talking about Obi-Wan, turns out that Disney yet again retconed something canon in their shows. And once again I am more attached to the version I saw on TV than the comics. So I’ll headcanon that Obi-Wan wrote this because he didn’t want to tell Luke about the time his twin sister was kidnapped and he had to go rescue her, which put him on the path of Luke’s father who could not under any circumstances learn about their existence.
Loving Sana (nice last name btw 😏 love how that is now tying up with THR) and I hope we see at least a little more of her. The whole marriage thing was meh, but I like her dynamic with Leia.
Seeing Kreel was cool too and I hope this is foreshadowing more of him as an adversary for Luke.
