A strong start to Gillen’s run overall, though I felt like it took an issue or two to really get going.

The story is pretty great, but I think the art leaves something to be desired.

An alright arc, nice to have some followup to Rogue One. But god, I really don’t like Salvador Larroca’s art. Really kills some of these arcs for me

Okay, I’m sorry, but the faces are giving uncanny valley vibes

I adore the spamels. Everything else was 'eh'.

The story is okay, with the last issue being exceptional. That being said, the art... I just don't like it. The colours especially just lend an "uncanny valley" effect to the characters and creates exceptionally creepy skin tones. I sincerely wish the in-book art was similar to the issue covers and didn't get in the way by jarring you with each awkwardly photo-realistic scene.

A bit overlong — would’ve been a nicely taut 4-issue series rather than slightly stretched at 6 — but I liked it overall. Riffing off the best Star Wars movie, Rogue One, this does a nice job of both following up the story of that film and enlarging the scope of the SW universe, which this run of comics has been excellent at doing.
