Remember that ridiculous scene in The Last Jedi where the ship Princess Leia is in gets blown to pieces and it blasts her into space? Instead of dying, she uses the Force to float herself to safety before failing into a brief coma. Remember that scene? Some called it her 'Mary Poppin's scene' Well, that's what is depicted on this issue's cover and it actually happens inside. Just like with Episode VIII, I rolled my eyes at the whole thing. Not because I don't think Annikin Starkiller could survive the brief effects of being in space without any sort of protective suit. But because the impact of the hull breach should have shot him out of the ship like a human cannon! And yet, the hero is within reach of a tow cable ejected by one of the droids. And wouldn't you know it: a character that I had started to really like dies in a somewhat unnecessary melodramatic way!
There's only 2 issues left and if we were to compare what has occurred here to the final draft of Episode IV, we at the part where the Millennium Falcon has left Tatooine and is about to go into hyper-drive to Alderaan. And yet here, the heroes managed to escape a squadron of TIE fighters through an asteroid field and crash land on a supposedly uninhabited jungle. I've got zero idea where things are going. I like it but it's also a bit unsettling being in such an undiscovered country.
On to issue #7!
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
