This comic is quippy. As in extremely quippy. As in Marvel movies quippy. As in ABSOLUTELY can't have a serious moment without jokes being cracked. Its painful.
Also it does indeed feel very skewered. Aphra and her guys never lose and never encounter real hardship. The university of archeology, as an example, was easily hacked by a student friend of Aphra's - really? And who'll win? The Imperial army, consisting of officers, several Stormtrooper, an AT-ST and an AT-AT or a rat tag gang of two people, two droids and a wookie? Aphra reacts faster than trained soldiers. Even being shot at by the guns on an AT-AT somehow missed the ENTIRE group. Not even the droids, who would be easy to repair two pages later. The deus ex is off the chart.
Evil 3PO and evil R2 were funny ideas, but definitely should have stayed ideas. Its very weird and amazingly stupid that someone greenlit them. Biggest problem is probably that they speak exactly like their counterparts, the immersion just completely falls apart for me.
While it nails the Star Wars style visually, the artwork is really quite poor otherwise. Also fails the Star Wars style entirely in the way they speak - they sound exactly like modern Marvel movies. I would give it two starts for the style, but I haven't read a comic this poor in a looong time. I wonder how much of the art is traced.
Everything about this comic is absolute trash. Avoid!...more

Some of the same problems from book one, such as the flanderisation of the OT main cast. But the new chYea, certainly a work of pulp franchise fiction.

The plot, while stupid, advanced and stuff kept happening.
Quite entertaining, and that's what pulp fiction is supposed to be....more
