Star Wars #1 Shocks Fans with Explosive Action and Stunning Political Twists in New Republic Era
As a gamer, I can’t help but weigh in on the ongoing Marvel Star Wars series that takes place after Return of the Jedi. I understand some folks aren’t keen because they already know the New Republic will eventually fall to The First Order. Frankly, I don’t get that perspective at all! We’re smack dab in the middle of a storyline starring a character who we know won’t survive until the series ends, but that doesn’t make the current drama any less captivating.
There’s a wealth of tension and excitement to be found during this era, and there’s plenty of room for many satisfying resolutions before the inevitable sad ending. This issue does an excellent job of setting the stage for what promises to be an engaging journey through these years. It’s not about whether things will “fail” or not; it’s about experiencing the thrill of the ride and enjoying the numerous happy endings along the way.
