This is the best issue of Star Wars so far. The Luke/Fett fight is great on all fronts. Han and Leia work much better when there's no elements of 'Star Trek II' hanging around. Darth Vader gets some surprising news. We say goodbye to John Cassaday w/ this issue, and its probably his best too. There's a new ship and character design that feel 97% right, and so so wrong for Han. Just about everything here works as long as you like Fett as a talker. I do, especially when its Jason Aaron putting words in his helmet. Great color work from Laura Martin brings it all home. Get ready for a little break, and then things get even better when the great Stuart Immonen arrives to pencil issue #8.


Secret Hint-the last 4 pages of this story are in Darth Vader #6, so read this issue THEN Vader.
