only to deliver an excellent final chapter The story brings back many delightful old foes and friends The best part is they are not here as cameos And the last two page I would do sacrifices to old gods just to see a live action of the final scene view spoiler Just imagine Vader breathing hard, whispering the name Skywalker in astoni...Not liked very much the final cliffhanger, but this comic Episode 4.5 of the Star Wars franchise was just epic and far better than expected.And Vader using Storm Troopers as human shields almost made me laugh to tears XDPretty interesting It takes place right after Ep 4 and gives us all a nice taste of Luke and the gang before they got all badass Some story pieces get filled in between the movies, the iconic banter and classics are all in place It s a nostalgic piece, and in my opinion, SO much better than all the comics that came out at the original release.After all, this has all the pieces from Ep 1 6 to draw from, plus the millions of fans who want exactly this kind of pretty adventure.Hell I m one of Pretty...I probably went into this with lowered expectations I had read Poe Dameron Black Squadron earlier in the week and was left a

you will likely hear Ben Burtt s well known sound effects and John Williams score in your head while all of the actions unfolds.If nothing else, there were some little details touches that had me convinced that it was produced by fans for fans The front cover blurb by ComicBook.com is The perfect Star Wars comic I ll raise a glass of Corellia...It shocked the hell out of me, but this is actually really good I was sort of banking on it being acceptable, but this is wellthan that Aaron has the voices of the characters down cold, especially Han Solo It looks incredible As long as the characters basically look like themselves, I m usually happy with media tie in comics, but this is above and beyond that Everybody looks perfect, and the art is actually objectively really good
