This volume was okay. Short review incoming. The SCAR unit of stormtroopers are badass. Anything with them in this volume worked really well. However, all the stuff with the trinity kind of felt boring and moving from point a to b since we know their faith. Overall another decent at best volume.

“The rebels want you to think they’re fighting for freedom. Don’t believe a word of their lies. I never knew freedom existed until the Empire came. Freedom means law. Freedom means order. All the rebels want is chaos. They think that makes them revolutionaries. I have another word for them. Terrorists.” I had such a fun time being able to read and have this representation of the Empire. Just, seeing someone that just genuinely believes in what they do and promise and things that everythin

For some reason this volume stood out to me more than the last few. The first issue is a beautifully illustrated adventure with Ben Kenobi written and drawn by Mike Mayhew. I really wish I could see more of his work, more often.This rest of the volume is one long story that introduces the Imperial SCAR Squadron: a group of elite Stormtroopers. Meanwhile, Luke, Leia, and Han set out to help a blockaded planet by stealing a Star Destroyer. It's a mission that seems just right for the characters, s...

Anybody know how to hotwire an Imperial Star Destroyer?Rebellion sympathizers on a planet are being starved out by the Empire. Luke and Leia hatch a plan to hijack a Star Destroyer so they can use the massive ship to run the blockade and bring relief supplies to them. Stealing the ship turns out to be the easy part as they try to run the damaged vessel with a minimal crew, and an elite squad of Stormtroopers led by Sgt. Kreel have a plan to take the ship back and capture some valuable prizes in

The Last Flight of the Harbringer is a damn fine story by Jason Aaron.The first story about Obi Wan on Tatooine and his continued mission to protect Luke is extremely well done. I enjoyed it a great deal. The book then moves on to its name- the Last Flight of the Harbringer. A really good story about a Rebel team (led by Leia and Han Solo) that takes over an Imperial Star Destroyer-the Harbringer.We are introduced to an elite SpecOps team of Imperial Stormtroopers and they were awesome. I tend t...

A handful of rebels stealing a Super Star Destroyer? Crack Stormtrooper teams with lightsabres? Sorry, but this just isn't my bag, man... The best bit was the R2-D2 backup strip and even that wasn't exactly stellar (pun totally intended).I think I'm done with Star Wars comics...

3.5 starsIt was cool to see a bad Wookie, even though that story didn't last long. It was also interesting to see things from a stormtrooper's point of view. The art didn't do much for me. (It looked like Luke's aunt was wearing modern clothes.) The story itself wasn't great, but it is Star Wars.

The rebels steal a star destroyer! Does it get any better than this? Yes, because the SCAR battalion of elite Stormtroopers come after them and these guys are bad asses. Jason Aaron is writing his heart out with this series. It's so much fun. The art does take a dip in quality a bit as Jorge Molina's art is a bit too cartoony for me.

Call me a sucker for space opera, but I had a blast with this one, especially the part that foreshadows a future romance for Han and Leia. I'm excited to see what happens next, especially after the capture of C3P0.

Rebel sympathisers are starving thanks to a planet-wide blockade by the Empire. Luke and co. plot to hijack a star destroyer to bust through and drop off supplies. The only problem is they have to hijack a friggin’ star destroyer! Last Flight of the Harbinger is unfortunately the worst volume yet in Jason Aaron’s Star Wars run - which hasn’t exactly been amazing either! The plot reeks of (shudder) The Phantom Menace. I mean, how the fuck does an entire planet starve because of a lack of supplies...

Okay at best. The whole plot to steal a star destroyer just didn’t do anything for me. I also didn’t love the art.

I have to say, I've been surprised by how much I've liked these books as they've come. I feel like, after a shaky start, they keep getting better.Side note: I did not like the art style in this volume, though. It was a bit too different from the previous ones and made the characters look a bit strange. But that did not detract from my enjoyment.Sana was still around, but I think once that whole wife situation was cleared up, she became a more enjoyable character. I liked her best in Rebel Jail,

The issue focusing on Scar Squad is really good, largely for the perspective of a faithful Imperial. I like getting an occasional reminder of the motivations of the rank and file. The main story is ok. I like the idea of hijacking a Star Destroyer, but it never really developed into anything fun. And I still don't like the idea of checking in on Obi-Wan in exile on Tatooine now and then. His stories can't be that interesting, by necessity.

This review was originally published over at my blog, The Grimoire Reliquary!In search of respite from Jason Aaron’s 2015-2018 Doctor Strange run, I’ve at last decided to take once more on the endless, thankless task that is my weekend column, SUNDAY STAR WARS. There will always be some piece of Star Wars media that steals away my attention for forty-five minutes a week, and I like scratching my comic book itch with the veritable legion of franchise comics coming from Marvel. Corporate synergy a...

Star Wars as you like to experience it! I bought this in its single comic book issues, but I chosen this TPB edition to be able of making a better overall review.This TPB edition collects “Star Wars” #20-25.This comic book run is set after the events of “Star Wars IV: A New Hope” but before the events of “Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back”.Creative Team:Writers: Jason Aaron Illustrators: Mike Mayhew & Jorge MolinaColors: Matt Milla OBI WAN’S JOURNALS Owen Lars and I may had our differ

Goodness, it took me way to long to acquire the most recent volume of Jason Aaron's Star Wars run. I have been pretty good about getting the trade paperbacks as they come out, but between a lack of time and money, this one I just couldn't get right away.But to be honest, after reading it, it's not like I was missing out on much, as this volume ended up being pretty underwhelming for me. I've actually really enjoyed the comic book run Jason Aaron has done for Star Wars so far that has chronicled

3.5 starsRebounding from the kind of dull Vol. 3: Rebel Jail, Vol. 4: Last Flight of the Harbinger opens with two short stories before moving onto the title adventure. It begins with a young Ben Kenobi - plus some neighborly assistance from a pre-teen Luke Skywalker and uncle Owen - battling a ferocious Wookiee bounty hunter (who will NEVER be confused with Chewbacca) sent by Jabba the Hutt. Next, the SCAR squad of Stormtroopers is shadowed on an assignment - which, unusually, features first-per...

Super-stormtroopers with lightsabers? Han, Leia and Luke stealing a fully crewed Star Destroyer? What the fuck are you smoking, Jason Aaron? Come on, Marvel, end this poor series like you did Vader! It's getting ridiculous.

I thought volume 3 didn't hold the excitement of the previous stories and I was wrong, because this officially drops from everything that made the series good. What happened? The art, as far as how the characters are drawn, is awful. The storyline is a mess. There are special Stormtroopers who can fly and use a lightsaber. Han and Leia acting like children and having a race on a Star Destroyer to see who is gonna Captain the vessel. Also apparently its a thing now to just hurl yourself into spac...

Better than the last volume. This run is very hit and miss, but than again I feel this way about most of Aarons work. I believe any SW fan should give this series a try. It's exciting, and any chance to expand the wonderful Lore of this universe is great. This starts off with another Kenobi stand alone. Set In his time on Taatoine as Luke's silent guardian. Old Ben squares off against Black Krsaantan who you might know from Doctor Aphra series. The art in this issue is awesome top scores in that...
