    The issue itself might not be exceptional, but the book's final panels manage to build excitement about what's in store for these characters, making this chapter, and arc, an important emotional adventure that helped cement our heroes' place in the overall Rebellion. Read Full Review

    This issue does a great job in closing the Jedha arc and also setting up some future interesting relationships, but the big battle between Luke and Commander Kanchar, just felt a bit anticlimactic. Read Full Review

    IGN - Jesse Schedeen Feb 7, 2018

    Star Wars is not a bad comic. In some areas it's succeeding quite well at the moment, especially when it comes to lending new depth to Original Trilogy favorites. But it's also a comic where the art routinely fails to do justice to an ambitious script. The relentless emphasis on photo-realism only results in a stiff, awkwardly rendered book that lags behind the rest of the Star Wars line. Read Full Review
