Excellent action-packed issue this time around. So far, this series seems to be much more action-focused than the Darth Vader series, which is more focused on the internal political intrigue of the Empire, whereas this is more classic Star Wars, which I'm perfectly fine with. 
There was, of course, more than just chaotic action. With Star Wars #3, we see the end of the Cymoon arc, and a key point in the overall story of Star Wars, which also ties in nicely to Darth Vader #1, which I will elaborate on later on.  Because the issue isn't too long, I'll just state my complaints and then get to what I found interesting.

1) How the artist draws Darth Vader's helmet and Stormtrooper helmets. They aren't too bad, but they aren't as nice as they are in the Darth Vader series, and sometimes they seem just off.

2) The sequence involving the escape from the weapons factory was downright confusing, and could have been fixed by simply adding a couple panels portraying Luke escaping to the Falcon and Vader and Overseer Aggadeen escaping the explosion.

Now, to what I found interesting. Spoilers follow.


Well, thus ends my review of Star Wars #3! Darth Vader #3 releases on March 25th, I'm even more excited for that one.

Don't reviews belong in News?

Oh, I didn't know. I've done around three of these and no-one's told me thus far. I apologize.

Good review, man     Looks really good, the first two issues didn't really get me interested but this one did.

If you haven't noticed, regular members can't create threads in News.

Anyone know where I can find it online for free without torrenting?

Wow, I'm happy Marvel got the Star Wars license. Dark Horse was awful at times.

I am death!
