The review;
The end of the series. After the last run if Star Wars had so many issues, it seems strange that this one has such a short run. Yet every series that Marvel have had running for Star Wars has felt like it has come to a rather abrupt end. I imagine that this has a lot to do with the changing of the guard at Lucasfilm. Whatever the reason, I feel like this series was only just finding its legs, just really getting into the swing of things and now writer – Alex Segura – is having to wrap things up. Joining Segura for the last venture is Luke Ross. Ross is new to this series but certainly not new to Star Wars, having just finished an incredible run illustrating Legacy of Vader with writer Charles Soule. I really can’t wait to see his work on this final issue, although i have a sneaky feeling I’m going to be a little frustrated that we’re only going to see his work for one comic! Let’s see how this all ends for our heroes.
The story for the most part is told from the viewpoint of Rynn Zenat. For this comic, it makes perfect sense that it should be. She is the one that has been most affected by Reyna Oskure and it’s she who must see this through to the end. Am I a little annoyed that this left little room for our heroes – in particular Han and Valance – who Segura has written so well? Sure, but this isn’t what this particular instalment is about, and Segura has made the right decision to give Zenat some closure. She needs to be the one to end it all and end it all she does, with the Crown of Verity. I remember writing about this artifact many issues ago, loving that has come from an old roleplaying game supplement. I love that it wasn’t just a name drop but plays an important part in the finale of this arc. Segura really wraps up this really nicely.
While everything gets wrapped up very neat and tides, Segura raises a couple of interesting topics. Segura has always made some tangents with what the New Republic is doing during the course of this story, showing how they are constrained by now being an official government. What Segura demonstrates here, is that although they must be a legal body, they also use their experiences from being the Rebellion, from being outside of the law, to help them now. They never give up, even when the odds are against them. Where the Empire would make a tactical retreat and fight another day, the New Republic doesn’t see that as an option, they still see themselves as a Rebellion – no matter how official they are.
Tied with this is Leia, who is interestingly thinking of her legacy, of how future generations will think of her. In our current climate, for almost every country in the world, I wonder how much this thought is playing on the leaders – how will they be remembered? Is this a thought Segura wants us to ponder? For Leia, with the help of Mon Mothma, they seem to think that Leia’s legacy will be being helpful. Yet Segura puts forward it is something different: hope. It’s the exact same legacy she has always had, even when she was part of the Rebellion. A worthy legacy that I think is one to be proud of.
The other part that Segura puts a nod to, is when Jesrit is starting to look at her own people who have turned. She questions them why they would turn on their own home. Segura is quick with the answer: wealth and power. It doesn’t seem to matter where you go in the galaxy, it’s the universal temptation that makes people lose their principles and crave more. Nothing groundbreaking but I appreciate that Segura took the time to add this little bit in.
That leaves the artwork from Ross. It is exceptional. The very first panel has X-wings rushing from an exploding cruiser and it just gets better from there. It all looks fantastic, but it is those space battle shots that really stand out for me. I felt like I was reading a modern take on the old X-wing comics from Dark Horse and loving every minute of it. That’s not to say that the character work is not brilliant, it is, but the movement and flow of the space panels is really pleasing to the eye. I wish we could see more from Ross,
Segura and Ross wrap everything up really well in this last comic and bring the series to a happy conclusion. The pacing of this issue is superb, some writers would have dragged moments of this issue out, but Segura keeps everything succinct and the story benefits from it greatly. The last panel and the message behind it is a great way to end this short run but it does have me thinking what more could there have been. I guess we may never know. All there is to do is for me to eagerly await Segura’s new novel from Daredevil that is due out next month! If you’re a fan of the character, I’m sure it’s going to be one not to miss!
