Rated T
The second part of the storyline gets us into events a lot quicker than I expected with the multi-part operation getting into place. It's a good bit of fun to watch unfold since you get some good stuff out of Threepio and Tunga and I'm amused by the accessory they place on Threepio to get the job done. Leia's running the mission in a pretty solid way and is well backed up by those that agree with her intent, like the Partisans, and that gives everything a stronger edge to it. Gillen has more going on than I expected here but it keeps a good flow about it while Unzueta's artwork delivers some great looking pages and lots of detail for a wide range of characters that exist here in this particular setting.

As I mentioned before, the issue is primarily set up, but it's decent set up. No big surprises but a solid first act for what I'm hoping will end up being a great arc! Read Full Review
Were the narrative to be as strong as the artwork, this book would be unstoppable. Read Full Review
All the action Star Wars fans crave and then some. It's an awesome ride and more fun than a Wookie should be allowed. A thoroughly satisfying read that should be in the library of any classic Star Wars fan. Just when you didn't think it could get any better, we come full circle as"to be continued. 8.4 a/k/a 3/5 Read Full Review
Odd choices abound in this issue: the plot is clunky, the art hit and miss, the colors too dark at times, and the lettering a mess. This is a disappointment to Star Wars fans. It can only get better from here, right? Read Full Review

Very dialogue heavy. Looks to be laying the framework for an action packed couple of issues. I'd expect the next issue to pick it up.
