Overall this is a fun little story that highlights Amilyn Holdo and explores her relationship with Leia, which was only really briefly hinted at in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The book ends with a fun cliffhanger in which the group winds up in unexplored space. Read Full Review

This issue didn't work for me at all. Not sure what Soule is going for here. This issue is why placing stories between Empire and Jedi leaves a bad taste. In the beginning, they are having a "couple of days off." Lando particularly is enjoying himself. Did everyone forget about HAN?! For all they know, they unfroze him and killed him on Tatooine, yet no one seems nervous in the least. It just doesn't work.

I guess Soule just rewatched Last Jedi because he took all the bad from that and put it in one issue. Holdo is not a good character and he did get her voice correct from the movie, which was not a good thing. She's just as secretive and uppity as she was in the film. And just as unlikeable. Then he brings up the fuel issue. The whole fuel thing was a farce to being with. The larger ships aren't powered by liquid fuel. The fighters are, but not the larger ships. Think about our current time. Submarines, destroyers, and carriers work on nuclear power. They don't need to be fueled. If we have that technology in contemporary times, why in a sci-fi environment do ships require fuel? It was Rian Johnson not understanding anything about the military and Star Wars and now Soule picked up. Uggghhh! more
