Star
Wars Annual #1: "An unexpexted but very welcome change of
pace for this title, but this credit goes to Gillen, the autor of
the much better Vader books. This time we get a very well formed new
character operating behind enemy lines who becomes a simple pawn in
yet another of Palpatine's schemes. For a one shot the story is
quite complex and delivered very competently. The protagonist is not
your clichéd hero, while the villain is as always: the master of
all."

Rebel
Jail: "A nice enough story with some twists you see coming
rather soon. Three girls unite to fight while two boys just wanna
have fun. The idea of Leia, Sana and Aphra teaming up is much more
interesting than the actual result. I think Gillen is better at
writing witty Aphra than Aaron, Sana has anger issues... as
always... and Leia just wants to make peace the inocent way. As with
Aaron, the dude does not kow when to stop overdoing things... Leia
winning a fistfight with someone called the Depopulator? Seriously?
And he clearly did not know what to do with the male side of the
story. I begin to think that maybe he gets tired of this run. All
in all a fair comic. One has to leave it to Marvel... the art is top
notch through all the books I have read, but the story telling is a
mixed bag. I almost feel like they have to much events in the comics
and not enough events in the books. They really should take a breath
from time to time and let to story flow a bit slower. One
definite highlight is another excerpt out of the journal of Obi Wan
Kenobi. It is a great bonus, but I feel like, they could have waited
and released a separate volume called From the Journals of the
Jedi, collecting Obi Wan's and Yoda's stories."
