OverallWith Star Wars #25. Charles Soule brings some really nice stories to the table, which do a good job of expanding on established chapters within the Skywalker saga. The two strongest stories for me were parts one and two of The Lesson. I particularly enjoyed the art and colors in the Darth Vader part of that story. Read Full Review
A good send off for the character that gives context and meaning to his character. The story also serves as a way of showing the cost of war. The art is subdued and complements the story really well. Read Full Review
With this being a kind of commemorative issue for writer Charles Soule, I'm glad a little indulgence was given as doing some short one-off tales is something that I wish Star Wars did more. I enjoy the big arcs and everything but at the same time, the advantage to these kinds of media projects is to do the smaller things and focus on character and connect us more with them. Soule has some fun stuff here and he gets to work once again with some of his favorite artists who have turned in strong stuff over the years working on this overall property, making this an easy and fun read.

Star Wars #25 features a good selection of stories that range from great to skippable. The majority are good, though, and each story has something for fans to enjoy across the Star Wars films. You can't go wrong with two good lightsaber battles, and most fans will highly enjoy most of this anthology. Read Full Review
Consisting of multiple short stories, all written by Charle Soule, readers get to witness pivotal moments in multiple characters' lives. While all four are entertaining, the first entry focusing on Obi-Wan Kenobi describing why the concept of the lightsaber hasn't been expanded to Anakin Skywalker answers a question fans often also wonder about the franchise, reminding us of their compelling dynamic and also elucidating on the honor of the Jedi Order.

A short break between story arcs is fun and refreshing, but there is a lot more story to tell before this series catches up to the events of The Return of the Jedi. Luke is still getting ready to confront Vader, while Leia and Chewbacca plot to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt. Read Full Review
