A review by neilrcoulter
Star Wars: Rebels by Jeremy Barlow, Alec Worley, Martin Fisher

5.0

For me, the official Star Wars canon is the original trilogy, Rogue One/Andor and Rebels. Nothing else is necessary. So it was fantastic to discover this 500-page collection of Rebels comics that I had no idea existed. This book includes forty-one short vignettes that feature the Ghost crew and nearly ever character that made a brief appearance during the series (VIzago, Lando, Mart, Wedge, Ketsu, Sato, Fenn Rau, Saw, and others). There are brief moments with Kallus and the Grand Inquisitor, but most of the stories avoid anything that would get in the way of the major plotlines in the series, which I think is a good choice. The artwork is fun, and the stories are all at a very young-reader level that feels appropriate for the medium and the original series. Everything has the feel of the old newspaper and Marvel Star Wars comics.

Because I’m always missing the Rebels series, and because there has been so little extra material related to these characters (and no, I don’t need them to appear in live-action series on Disney+), having this book on my bedside table to dip into every now and then has been a real comfort.
