Star Wars (2013 comic book)

[a] It ended after a 20-issue run, largely due to the Star Wars comics license being transferred to Marvel as part of Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm.

[9] Princess Leia leads the Rebel Alliance's search for potential new bases, even as the evil Galactic Empire consistently pursues them, indicating that a spy might have infiltrated the Rebellion.

Agent of the Empire Darth Vader is reprimanded by the Emperor by having to carry out the mundane task of overseeing the construction of the second Death Star.

Luke and Wedge Antilles[b] infiltrate the Star Destroyer Devastator, hoping to learn the identity of a potential Rebel spy by snooping on the commanding Imperial officer.

[11] Writing for IGN, Joey Esposito reviewed the first issue positively, but mentioned that it is "sometimes weighed down in exposition and technical jargon" and that "actor likenesses" were not captured perfectly.

[12] IGN's Jesse Schedeen gave issue #6 a more mixed review, saying the space battles "have grown a bit tedious by this point" and calling the love triangle between Luke, Leia, and another female pilot "somewhat forced".
