Zander (Eugene Byrd), Kordi (Vanessa Lengies), and Rowan (Nicolas Cantu) work to stay one-step ahead of the bounty hunters, even going so far as to join the pod race.

Darth Vader #22

Darth Vader #22In this issue Darth Vader fights a Rancor. And not just a Rancor, but a cybernetically-engineered monster sent by its creator to slow Vader down. What more could you want?

Okay, there is also some story here as Vader slowly carves his way through the enemy ship searching for the traitor Cylo. Despite besting the man’s scientist and all cybernetic threats to block his bath, the Dark Lord of the Sith is outmanuvered as Cylo’s plan comes to fruition and the renegade is able to steal the new Super Star Destroyer Executor right from under Darth Vader’s nose. I’m guessing the Emperor won’t be pleased.

The Freemaker Adventures - Peril on Kashyyyk

Set during the period between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures focuses on the three Freemaker siblings who run a scavenger business. The eldest, Zander (Eugene Byrd), is the group’s primary mechanic and pilot. A bit enthusiastic at times, Zander’s love of starships occasionally gets him into trouble. The youngest Freemaker, Rowan (Nicolas Cantu), has a knack for finding trouble as well – especially after he begins showing Force sensitivity and a connection to the lost Kyber crystals whose power the Emperor (Trevor Devall) covets. Meanwhile, the responsible member of the group, Kordi (Vanessa Lengies), tries to keep her brothers in line.

Han Solo #1

Han Solo #1In his new solo series (heh), everyone’s favorite scruffy-looking nerfhereder is badgered into an undercover assignment for the Rebellion. With a leak inside the Rebellion leading the Empire to a network of their spies, and needing a pilot and ship for a dangerous mission, Leia convinces both the reluctant Han and the reluctant Rebel leaders that Han Solo is their man.

The first few pages of the issue, where Han is basically kidnapped and brought to the new Rebel is a bit awkward (did anyone, anywhere believe he would give up control of the Millennium Falcon for any reason?). However, things pick up with the appearance of Leia (and I guess, if you wanted to read between the lines the entire plot to get his ship could be seen as nothing more than a ploy to get Han on board for the mission).
