Too many plot threads, most of them being either forgettable or not leading anywhere. Using familiar characters between 2 of the original movies may seem like a good idea, except that it removes all tension, since we know exactly where this is going.

This is very much the conclusion to In The Shadow Of Yavin where all the main loose ends are tied up. The mystery is revealed and the scrapes that the characters are in are dealt with. A couple of character arcs also run their course, but I was left feeling cheated by them. In both cases there was the expectation of something coming of them, but then they leave the story and that’s that. I don’t know if they turn up later, but as the story stands at the moment, that’s all there is to it.
Also the big reveal annoyed me. There was a spy giving away the Alliance’s movements to the Empire and this did carry the story well. However, when the truth is revealed… okay, I don’t know what I expected, I had theories, but the truth was underwhelming and does leave a few questions unanswered.
I did like the addition of Perla to the story. She is an interesting character with a lot of unknowns about her. I’m looking forward to seeing how her character further develops as the series goes on.

I liked this comic but I could not really understand the motivation of the characters and therefore it fell a bit flat for me.
