Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Shattered Empire by Greg Rucka
5.0
AAAAAAH.
This graphic novel was everything I loved about the original trilogy + The Force Awakens. It had all my original favourites: Leia, Luke, Han, Lando, PLUS Poe's parents, so it was the best of both worlds, old and new.
All my old favourites (the original trio + Lando) were beautifully in character, from Han and Lando's playful banter, through Leia being a badass, all the way to Luke being a huge drama queen. While I feel like we didn't really get to know Kes Dameron in this Volume, Shara Bey was pretty much the main character, and she was amazing at it.
There were several fight scenes, and I admit that I sometimes found them annoying or difficult to read, but nothing tops the teamwork between Leia, Shara and the Queen of Naboo. Queen Soruna was a huge badass and I suddenly want to know more about her.
And that ending, man!! The ending!! The compassion and hope and family that we learned to expect and love in this series! I love it.
