Star Wars #45

A successful transition issue as the heroes shape their plan and put it in motion. The story is interesting, though not much action occurs until the end, and the visuals are a vast improvement over last issue. Hoping that the story becomes more exciting next issue. Read Full Review

The maturation of the main Star Wars book has had its bumps along the way but it's largely doing everything that I want it to do. There are fun aspects to the adventure that we get but also a look at the seriousness of what's going on, the weight of it on the shoulders of those involved, and a strong blending of elements from the franchise as a whole to make it feel cohesive.

Expanding the universe and still telling good character stories are a staple of this book and I enjoy it immensely. Read Full Review

As I said, not an action packed story but a satisfactory tale in its own right. It's pacing is on par with a good Star Wars tale even if we don't realize it until the end. Enough twists and turns give us a satisfactory climax which I really enjoyed as Princess Leia" to be continued. Read Full Review

A decent issue although it's more of a transition than a stand-out chapter. Read Full Review

As part of a graphic novel, this issue would help continue the main story, but as a single issue, it just doesn't warrant the price. It's just a very average issue on a whole. Read Full Review

There's little to offer in the way of plot, with the art's shift from cartoonish to photorealistic being incredibly jarring in this issue, making readers question if Salvador Larroca really created it all. Read Full Review

I'm far more interested in the story these comics have to tell than the art because I just don't have much of an eye for it, but this art is pretty bad. Larrocca really needs to go and I've been saying it for months. The story itself is still pretty cool and has a WTF moment that only lasts for a second but I appreciated anyway.

I'm really enjoying the story and the meeting of Rebel High Command was quite interesting. I loved the Hera and Zeb cameos! This is the first time we've seen Zeb post-ANH. Seeing Bail Organa blew my mind, though I was sure it had to be a trick. This issue could have easily been a 9/10 for the story, but the artwork is so poor it is very distracting.
