Star Wars #29

Overall this is a fun little story that highlights Amilyn Holdo and explores her relationship with Leia, which was only really briefly hinted at in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The book ends with a fun cliffhanger in which the group winds up in unexplored space. Read Full Review

Rosanas brings some beautiful style to the visuals throughout the issue. I love the contrast between the different locations and how detailed the art is. Read Full Review

The dialogue is fun and snappy while the artwork looks great and covers a lot of ground well. I'm definitely curious to see how far it'll go with the pieces of history being brought in and whether it gets too weird or not, something Star Wars leans into in a bad way from time to time.

This issue didn't work for me at all. Not sure what Soule is going for here. This issue is why placing stories between Empire and Jedi leaves a bad taste. In the beginning, they are having a "couple of days off." Lando particularly is enjoying himself. Did everyone forget about HAN?! For all they know, they unfroze him and killed him on Tatooine, yet no one seems nervous in the least. It just doesn't work. I guess Soule just rewatched Last Jedi because he took all the bad from that and put it in one issue. Holdo is not a good character and he did get her voice correct from the movie, which was not a good thing. She's just as secretive and uppity as she was in the film. And just as unlikeable. Then he brings up the fuel issue. The whole fuel thing was a farce to being with. The larger ships aren't powered by liquid fuel. The fighters are, but not the larger ships. Think about our current time. Submarines, destroyers, and carriers work on nuclear power. They don't need to be fueled. If we have that technology in contemporary times, why in a sci-fi environment do ships require fuel? It was Rian Johnson not understanding anything about the military and Star Wars and now Soule picked up. Uggghhh! more
