    There's such an attention to the look and feel of a Star Wars film in how the story progresses that one can imagine these events happening on the screen. Read Full Review

    A solid conclusion to a story that provides a transition between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. There are minor nicks in this final installment, but it does provide enough strong moments to please fans of the franchise. I'm looking forward to seeing where these creators next take my heroes.

    Narratively, this arc ended on a somewhat underwhelming note as things wrapped up a little too nicely, with the story teasing a familiar face briefly teaming up with our iconic trio. Read Full Review

    The end of this arc is welcome as it didn't quite click for me as well as I would have liked. The concept in general was solid even if I'm saddened by Trios' betrayal but overall it simply played out longer than I would have cared for. The whittling down of the Rebellion's numbers here provides an echo to the future in an amusing way but it also provides for some time here in this period to let them go to ground while rebuilding, which will lead us into Empire soon I hope. I do like that the series is covering a lot of time between the two films but I'm also interested in exploring other areas with these characters. Read Full Review
