However, by far – by FAR – Age of Rebellion: Princess Leia is my favorite Age of Rebellion book.Īside from the irresistible allure of the Dodsons’ unmistakeable touch in the cover art (I still salivate over the Dodson’s covers for the Princess Leia five-part series in 2014), this book manages to offer everything you could want.Ī story set in a perfect niche (right before Return of the Jedi), covering a key piece of the lore. On that front, this is a really interesting story: the rest of the narrative is less interesting, however – though is otherwise a perfectly okay outing for any general Star Wars fan or Luke Skywalker enthusiast. It also got me thinking that this probably is precisely what happened between Snoke and Ben Solo during or prior to Ben’s turn to the Dark Side: one would assume Snoke was in Ben’s mind, working on him from a distance – as we already see in The Last Jedi that Snoke has this ability to influence minds from a great distance (and even to “bridge” minds, as he does with Kylo and Rey in TLJ). This is quite a significant bit of storytelling, adding something meaningful to the canon: this idea that Palpatine was reaching Luke from across the stars, the same way Vader was.Īnd presumably, just like Vader kept his long-distance communications with Luke from Palpatine, Palpatine kept this from Vader too. We see Luke taking part in a mission for the alliance, during which he is apparently contacted – psychically and through the Force – by the Emperor, who is trying to manipulate him from a distance.
Grek Pak‘s story gives us some interesting things, but the visual style doesn’t quite impart the book with the weight it probably needs. What we get kind of is and kind of isn’t. You would kind of expect the Luke Skywalker entry in the Age of Rebellion series to be a big-hitter among the various offerings.
