LANDO IS ALL IN!
THE TRIAL OF LANDO CALRISSIAN for treason against the REBEL ALLIANCE comes down to its stunning finale! The evidence is not in Lando's favor, nor is the fact that he's offered a full confession to the crimes of which he is accused. Does he have any cards left to play?
Rated T
Charles Soule does a fantastic job of wrapping up this story arc and even goes to the trouble of doing a bit of foreshadowing of Lando's future promotion to General, which is something we see in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. The character of advocate Georgio has been a lot of fun to watch during all the issues of this story arc, but its only by the close of the story that we get an inkling of just what type of person she is when it comes to manipulating events to get herself the desired outcome.

Charles Soule tells another fantastic story in his run on Star Wars that is a nice change of pace from the usual action packed stuff you might expect. I won't spoil the ending because yes we do know what ends up happening, it does fill in a little bit of interesting info about how things progressed with Lando between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. This issue is definitely a must read for Star Wars fans! Read Full Review
Musabekov delivers beautiful art throughout the issue. The visuals allow for some great character emotions to make up for the lack of action or adventure. Read Full Review
There are some fun moments in this and Lando gets to be pretty clear in his loyalty to things and where he stands while Salli gets to put the heat to Rebel leadership a bit. There are a lot of awkward and stilted moments that don't work but trying to apply real-world American justice to this fantasy system is a fool's errand. Which is why it's best to avoid these kinds of stories in books like this. In the end, we get to learn how Lando became a general, which is the main point, and what happened to Lobot in the time after Cloud City. It's all right at best and sometimes that's the best you can hope for. I'm looking forward to getting away from this story for a while. Read Full Review
We can't quite say the entire arc was a failure, as we were given interesting glimpses of the inner workings of the Rebel Alliance, more that this final issue was a definite disappointment. Read Full Review
