Fans of the original Star Wars trilogy will be drawn into this series. The Rebel Alliance is going strong, and readers are introduced to another whole set of characters who are fighting to overthrow the Galactic Empire.

Luke Skywalker is quickly moving up the ranks, thanks to his success in blowing up the Death Star. As a result, he and his friends are playing an increasingly important role in various missions. In one such mission, he recovered Jorin Sol, an important strategist for the Alliance from being held by the Empire. Unfortunately, sometimes people have more secrets than we realize, and Sol knows something that could bring the whol Rebellion down.

Within the Empire, Luke learns that Lt Sunber, a former childhood friend from Tatooine, has some information for him. Sunber's coded message indicates that he has some secret information that could protect the Rebels from the Empire, but Luke can't help but wonder whether he should really trust a Rebel agent even if they were once friends

Trust takes on major importance in this collection of short pieces. The Alliance is definitely making headway against the Empire, but so many of the people working for it (most of them new characters created just for this comic run) have dark pasts that would place them and the Rebels in danger. Will they be able to come together as a team in order to defeat the Empire?

I thought this was pretty well done, but I find that the stories are not as connected as I would have liked. There are so many new characters introduced, that I could only hope they will slowly come together to connect the various plots as the series progresses. It is worth picking up these books, though, if you would like to go back down memory lane to the period before the newer Star Wars trilogy came out.
