3.0
Okay, so remember, 3 stars means "I liked it."
And I liked this. It was okay. There are new stories with the main characters from A New Hope, and they are reasonably entertaining. Star Wars loses some of its scope in newspaper comic form. A Star Destroyer which is awesome on the big screen, and slightly less so on your home television, is just not impressive in a newspaper comic format. Likewise a light saber fight or a blaster duel doesn't feel as thrilling when told three panels at a time (and since the first panel is usually a recap of the previous day's comic) it's more like two panels at a time.
It's better than almost all the EU stuff, not as good as the new movies that are coming out. I don't think you'll be too disappointed, but might check a library copy first.
