Things look bad for
the New Republic/Rebels. The Empire's World Devastators have begun
attacking the homeworld of the Mon Calamari. Lando and Wedge lead a
desperate attempt to save the planet. Meanwhile, Luke, heavily under
Palpatine's influence, sends a vision to Leia warning her that he's
following his father's destiny, since its the only way to defeat the
Dark Side.
Leia calls him out
on how stupid that is, and resolves to go get him, but they have to
find a way to the Deep Core. For that, Han takes her to find some of
his old contacts on Nar Shadda, the Smugglers' Moon where Leia has a
chance encounter with a crazy old woman named Vima who called her the
spark of a new generation of Jedi.
And then Han hears
from an old...acquaintance.
The third issue is
an odd place to dump a bunch of new introductions, but after opening
with action, the Leia & Han plot takes center stage, with Luke
effectively taking up one page.
Luke's gotten
himself in trouble, and Leia is going to get him, even if it means
finding a way into the Galactic Deep Core and flying there herself.
This is in-character behavior.
NO, NOT THAT WAY
The big addition is
Nar Shadda. Orbiting the Hutt homeworld of Nal Hutta, Nar Shadda is
one of those rough-and-tumble dens of scum and villainy, only instead
of a dusty desert, its a dingy, rusty, crowded metropolis. Han's two
old smuggler buddies, Shug Ninx the half-human mechanic and Salla
Zend, an ex-girlfriend with a killer afro, are solid additions to his
checkered past.
