The anthology series continues with a little something for the Prequels and The Clone Wars fans with a story about Aurra Sing and Zam Wessel. It seems only fitting in the 20th anniversary year of Attack of the Clones and with the strong recent focus on bounty hunters with The Book of Boba Fett and the crossover event War of the Bounty Hunters.
If you put your cynicism aside for the purpose of this series it has been quite pleasant and low stakes so far and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The ongoing comic series’, The High Republic and the recent TV series’ have been making bold moves, repurposing the Universe into something they can maintain and expand upon moving forward. This means changing our perspective on tentpole events and characters and redefining what Star Wars is in 2022. It’s nice to go on some straight forward adventures with old friends and adversaries. It’s the adult version of what IDW does with the Star Wars Adventures series and all of the wonderful Forces of Destiny releases. Characters like Sing and Wessel aren’t strong enough to maintain their own titles, not to mention the fact that Lucasfilm seems to be refocusing on post-Order 66 events and the Original Trilogy cast of characters. Series like this are the only place we are going to these characters. I’m glad they have a place at the table and wish that this was the aim of this comic run.
