Star Wars comic #46: Mutiny at Mon Cala, Part III by Kieron Gillen

"Star Wars #46: Mutiny at Mon Cala, Part III" written by Kieron Gillen, illustrated by Salvador Larroca and Guru-eFX
     This was a fast paced issue with constant action and intrigue...and some great humor. We see the beginnings of the Rebel plans to rescue King Lee Char unfold. I won't go into much detail about the plan because it's fun to watch play out, but I'll provide a few reminders and a general feel for the issue.
     The cover as usual doesn't quite match the story...but I think I'm getting used to that...
     Tunga Arpagion is the clawdite shapeshifter Leia and Han rescued from Dex Acquisition in the previous issue. Tan Hubi is the Moff of the Mon Cala sector that Leia wishes for Tunga to impersonate at a Space Opera at the Moncaladrome. Their plan rolls out without a hitch and it seems they're going to get the Moff with nothing holding them back!
     Tunga makes a joke at Luke's height being short for a stormtrooper--haha.
     Han tells an Imperial officer that drying your hands after washing them on a Wookie is fashionable--too funny.
     Strokill Prime is the watery prison world where King Lee Char is being held captive and where our heroes find themselves at the end of this issue...right in the face of a giant sea creature with rows of sharp fangs!
     I'm really excited to see how they get themselves out of this scrape. And look forward hopefully to the rescue of King Lee Char! Will the Rebels finally get Mon Cala on their side?? We'll see...
