Solid "Star Wars"-ing.
Format: Paperback
โStar Wars: The Battle of Jakkuโ is a three-part, 12-issue comic series, comprised of a trio of individual miniseries that form one collective trilogy-of-sorts, and details the war between New Republic/Imperial forces in the weeks and months following the events of โReturn of the Jedi.โ Writer Alex Segura โ who previously penned the underrated "Free Fall" โ does a good job of telling a single, satisfying story that ALSO tees up his upcoming relaunch of the mainline โStar Warsโ series in May.
What also makes โThe Battle of Jakkuโ a pleasure to read โ particularly if youโre a diehard โStar Warsโ fan - are the various Easter eggs and cross-franchise connections it makes to other entries in the series, including โBattlefront II,โ Greg Ruckaโs "Shattered Empire," and even Chuck Wendig's โAftermathโ trilogy. Watching this specific era of the โStar Warsโ timeline be filled out and expanded within the larger media has been one of the more satisfying and consistently enjoyable aspects of the โStar Warsโ property these last 10 years, and Segura โ as is his want โ does yeomanโs work in effectively putting a final bow on it.
All in all, pretty darn good โStar Warsโ-ing.
