I can't wait to see what comes next with this arc. I'm curious how long Pak's run will last beyond it, because we're pretty firmly right up against Empire Strikes Back. It's possible that Pak will take the series past that film into a new era, but it's equally possible that the series will end or reboot once it runs out of space before. I'm looking forward to finding out what direction he decides to take it. Read Full Review

With a lot of wariness toward the start of this arc, I'm definitely glad that things didn't end up as I had feared. I've enjoyed what Pak has been doing on the Age Of books and the setup for this storyline is conventional but has plenty of potential as well, though I hope it's not another leaning into Han as the bestest character to write ever mindset. Noto's artwork hits a sweet spot for me here in that it has some of what makes his work distinctive but without the elements in the other books that turned me away from it, especially with the darker coloring and the characters being used. I'm interested in seeing where they take us with Dar, hopefully not just another Sana type, and I'm also hoping costume changes are a regular thing with Noto as his design for Han and Leia here is spot on great.

This issue presented a refreshing start to a new story arc after a good, but exhausting arc that preceded it. Having it clear that the series is staring to build toward Empire Strikes Back adds an element of anticipation as to how it will all come together. The one thing this series does very well that a lot of Star Wars tales miss, is the heavy inclusion of the droids. They are the backbone of the original films, and should be a big part of the story. This new arc seems primed to give us more of that. It's hard to ignore the art and writing style change, but this first offering was a good indication that the feel of the films will carry on.
