Now that is more like it.

Collecting Star Wars Comics #50-55 (and, for some reason, a seemingly tacked-on story from Star Wars Annual #4), this finally feels like the Star Wars we all know and love.

I think a large part of that is because this, effectively, in the graphic novel equivalent of the denouement of all the stories leading up to this: the whole thing, really, is one giant battle in space (think Return of the Jedi) after the Rebels secret location is betrayed while they are all gathered in that one place and their fighters are (at least initially) all unable to launch.

And so, we have Vader (in his TIE Advanced prototype) vs Han's Millennium Falcon, a guerrilla raid on the Super Star Destroyer Executor (in order to get the over-ride codes to let those fighters launch), Han in an X-Wing, Luke trusting the guidance of the Force and a lead-in, basically, to the start of The Empire Strikes Back

My favourite of the original trilogy. So much going on, great battle scenes on Endor, space and Luke vs Darth Vader.

Ok movie fans, the final trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story is out. It actually looks pretty good. The major hurdle moviegoers will have to get past is no Harrison Ford.

What is your prediction?


It's gonna rock!
It's gonna suck!

I've just discovered that this is the final part in Keiron Gillen's run of Star Wars graphic novels, edging ever closer (as it does) to the timeline of The Empire Strikes Back.

Any, yes, in many respects it does 'feel' like a finale or even an epilogue, with the disparate plot threads of the previous entries all finally coming together and with Leia, Han, Luke and co all making a strike back at the Queen of Shu-Torun, whose betrayal was largely responsible for the massive defeat they suffered in Star Wars, Vol. 9: Hope Dies.
