The Rebel Alliance has struck a vital blow against the Galactic Empire by destroying their ultimate battlestation - the Death Star. As Rebel groups unite and civil war erupts across Empire star systems, who will be left standing in the wake of rebellion? Jedi Luke Skywalker and Imperial Officer Janek Sunber were once friends on Tatooine, years before the battle at Yavin IV. Now, they are enemies on opposite sides of the conflict, where loyalty can only be to the Empire...and their destinies. This explosive new series set between the events in "A New Hope" and "Return of the Jedi" launches a new era in the "Star Wars" saga, and is essential reading for those who wish to explore the universe beyond the blockbuster "Star Wars" movies!

For any comic book fans who are mostly interested in the Original Trilogy of Star Wars, the first of the Star Wars: Rebellion series is highly recommended. To start with, the plot focuses on a new storyline although major characters from the films like Luke, Leia and Han Solo are all prominent. A new character, Deena Shan, is introduced, who, along with her drunken flirtations towards Luke, adds a fresh aspect to the atmosphere of the Original Trilogy, making the graphic novel a mix of all the best bits of the OT and some more modern themes the OT didn't explore. This is mostly shown by two characters - Luke's childhood friend who turned to the Empire and confronts Luke as an adult, in turmoil due to his loyalty to the Empire as well as his friendship to Luke, and a Rebel engineer, who is tortured by the Empire and becomes a sleeper agent who returns to the Rebels who are oblivious to the fact he has been brainwashed. These two characters bring things into the plot which make you more invested into the characters but also add a darker theme to the era which the films (in my opinion) were lacking in. It also shows the fact that the Rebels being the "good" side is more ambiguous than we thought, because the conflict is not so black-and-white, and the Empire is not neccessarily "evil" - most notably when Luke's old friend in the Empire confronts the Rebels, accusing them of killing innocent people - "how many people do you think died when the Death Star was destroyed".
All in all, it's a good read. Don't get me wrong - it's not Shakespeare, but as far as graphic novels go, it's up there.

I won't go into plot details as the other review has already done that quite well. However, having just finished this I am inclined to disagree with the 5 stars! It just didn't grip me like other star wars graphic novels, and while I can't quite put my finger on what, it was lacking something...to me it just felt a bit slow I suppose, and there wasn't much pacing or suspense. I mean, at the end of the day, you know nothing is going to happen to the main characters or the rebel alliance as they appear in the films set after this story! The artwork was Ok too, but again nothing special. For me, I'm afraid this was distinctly average.
