Product description

Review

"Beautifully realised and illustrated by Alex Maleev, Charles Soule's story is a wonderful throwback to the original trilogy that focuses on characterisation (and the relationship between its central players, and how it changes and evolves to become the one we're familiar with in The Empire Strikes Back) as much as plot and for any fan obsessed by that galaxy far, far away it's the perfect book to while away an afternoon with." --Mass Movement

    Reviewed in the United States on 17 January 2018

    Lando Calrissian is heavily indebted to Papa Toren. He needs a major score in order to settle things. And Papa Toren has found just the right opportunity -- an expensive pleasure ship owned by a rich imperial that would more than make up for the amount Lando owes. The ship is in a lightly guarded shipyard getting a refit. As an added plus, the ship is reportedly filled with treasure that Lando can keep should he succeed. All Lando has to do is steal the ship and get it back to Toren. Lando begins assembling a team to pull off the heist. In a scene that reminds one of Danny Ocean, Lando organizes his crew and lays out the plan for taking the ship. Included in his team are his faithful companion Lobot; Korin, an antiquities expert; and twin warriors Aleksin and Pavol. Lando's perfect plan falls predictably apart and he and his team are left to deal with Imperial guards, one of the galaxy's top bounty hunters, and the ancient Sith secrets stored within the ship they learn belongs to none other than Emperor Palpatine himself.

    The artwork in this book, by Alex Maleev, is fantastic. It's not the realistic style that most of the other Marvel Star Wars books have, but it's very well-done, and most importantly, it fits the book very well. Perhaps just as impressive as the line art is the coloring work of Paul Mounts, who does a great job of accentuating the pictures.

    The writing and storyline are perfect. The dialog is entertaining. Charles Soule advances the storyline and mixes in several subplots. He also does an excellent job of switching from scene to scene and knowing what to leave out and what to include to keep the storyline moving along. The characters are interesting and developed. Overall, this book is a great read and rivals the Han Solo series for the best Star Wars book that Marvel has produced.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Highly recommended stand alone sci fi tale.

    In my opinion, it is so far the best of the new star wars comics. It correctly portrays a younger lando, while showing off his well known charm and cunning. It is a fast paced, stand alone story with memorable characters. It actually takes the charcter of Lobot and gives him a heartfelt and tragic backstory.

    Wie man Lando kennt. Nicht sonderlich überraschende aber charmante kleine Geschichte. Die Charaktere sind nicht gerade vielschichtig aber glaubwürdig und der Geschichte dienlich.
