More of a what happens just after Return of the Jedi than a lead in to The Force Awakens but nevertheless this four issue mini series includes some important story points, has plenty of dramatic action and we get to meet Poe Dameron's parents.
The rebel alliance may have won the battle of Endor and believe Emperor Palpatine to be dead but as they soon discover, the war is far from over and Imperial forces set forth on a revenge plan that could see the entire destruction of Naboo.
There are really multiple stories going on in this mini series with pilot Shara Bey being the main link from taking part in epic aerial starfights, being part of Han Solo's team in attacking an Imperial base, accompanying Princess Leia to Naboo and being chosen by Luke Skywalker to aid him in a secret mission. She's a great character and a fittingly adventurous, intelligent and courageous rebel who will ultimately pass these genetic traits to her son Poe.
It's well written although feels to short. Each part of the story could do with being expanded.
The artwork throughout is beautiful. The character likenesses to the corresponding actors and actresses in the films are really good and some of the action sequences are breathtaking.
We just need more of it to make the series feel more substantial.

December Graphic Novel Read
More like a 3.5, but not enough to deserve a 3 by dar. I did like the main character, but I admit I, too, found it a bit too convenient that these could be used at head-tips in movie toward these instances of having met people rather than a long-spooling arced story of any kind.

Nice Addition to the Story
Not my favorite of the canon graphic novels but I enjoyed parts of it. Loved seeing the little bit of Luke that we got.

Just a Star Wars read for Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you!)
I liked Shattered Empire 1-4, mostly because it was about Shara Bey and a little about Kes Dameron, Poe’s parents, and since I love Poe I couldn’t resist.
4 stars because I’m feeling easy to please and the art was very nicely done.
