Han Solo has been missing his ship and co-pilot something fierce, even if he doesn’t want to admit it.Ĭhewie’s had some help from engineer Meorti, but Han’s only concerned about anything she may have repaired or tweaked on the Falcon. Leia and Ackbar aren’t the only ones happy to be reunited. I wouldn’t even be surprised if we hear it referenced in other canonical stories.
Rejoin empire or keep alliance series#
“Hope Dies” has left its permanent mark on this series and I don’t think the repercussions of that event arc will fade any time soon. Ackbar is relieved to hear from Leia, but informs her that many have been lost. Love this shot of Home One hiding amongst the gaseous clouds of a nebula. Luke has quite a bit ahead of him, as well. Tula knows she needs to find herself to lead her people and help the Rebellion. They’ve rejoined the galaxy and with a new leader. They are no longer isolationists who live their own way. I don’t doubt she and her clan will embrace the Rebellion, but the peace and tranquility they lived in for so long are forever gone and that has to be traumatic. Whether it’s fair or not, Tula sees him as the catalyst to a tragedy that took her family and her way of life. There’s nothing vindictive about Tula walking away with Luke. It takes strength to be honest with yourself and those you care about in the face of grief. Tula is happy she had her time with Luke but that time has ended. Let me just take a moment here to say something: Please give me a comic series (or any series) where General Syndulla and the Markona clan travel the galaxy, kicking Imperial ass. Luke hesitates and suggests maybe Home One could use them, but Tula’s made up her mind. They get the location of Ackbar and Home One, but Luke knows Tula and her clan will be needed elsewhere, so he gives them the location to join General Hera Syndulla’s Geist.
Makes me wonder how many different limbs our protocol droid has had over the years. He gets the coordinates and a new pair of legs for himself. Since he speaks a rare form of Huttese, Threepio is the only one who can do the negotiating. Meet Qensog, the contact who will help our heroes back to the Rebel Alliance. Our heroes and Tula take separate ships and make their way to Brentaal IV, following a contact that could lead to the Rebellion. This helps confirm that this takes place after some of the events in Doctor Aphra “The Catastrophe Con”, which I’d been trying to figure out. Sana jokes how she agrees with me, since we all know Aphra only has eyes from Tolvan. I know they’ve interacted, but I never got any sense of romance from them. I didn’t realize they considered Aphra an ‘ex’ of Luke. Tula doesn’t need any help from these four and in the midst of their run for Sana’s ship, a certain archaeological doctor comes up. It’s completely valid but doesn’t bode well for Luke’s place in her life. She’s able to channel that rage at the people really responsible for the death, but Tula can’t help if it weren’t for outside forces they wouldn’t have discovered Hubin in the first place. It was made clear in the previous issue that Tula is very angry about her father’s death and directs a lot of that anger at Luke.
The attack is swift and it doesn’t take long to wipe out the bucket heads the Empire throws at them. Tula Markona and her clan lead the attack to provide cover for Luke, Sana, Leia, and Han.
Han and Sana smash the Imperial shuttle into the control tower of the impound yard. Our heroes and Tula Markona escaped Hubin, following it up with an aggressive attack to get Sana’s ship back. SPOILERS AHEAD….Īfter the SCAR Squadron stormed Hubin, all they ended up accomplishing was getting their ship stolen and marooning themselves. “The Escape” comes to an end, but no one is going quietly toward it in this issue. Sana Starros has rejoined our heroes and they are on their way to an Imperial impound yard to get her ship back and rejoin the Rebel Alliance. Markona sacrificed himself, so now his daughter leads their clan to fight against the Empire. After the revelation that Thane Markona and his clan once worked for the Empire and are looking to atone for their sins. We all knew Leia, Luke and Han would be reunited with the Rebel Alliance but it hasn’t exactly been a smooth ride.
