This was a great issue although a bit disjointed. There's the plot line with Leia at high command and the one with Luke and Han talking to Wedge. Then Leia, Han, Luke, and Chewie come together and begin carrying out Leia's plan. The Wedge plot line felt a bit tacked on and unnecessary but all Han's jokes about Luke and milk throughout were definitely funny.
We open up on an array of aliens at the Mako-Ta Rebel base. It's so nice to see such a wide variety of beings involved in the Rebellion because in the movies it always tends to be human-heavy with only a few token aliens. There's even a Kyuzo!
Admiral Ackbar apparently acquired some cosmic moonshine in his travels and Han is eager to try it out. Luke wants no part in it and demands milk only. Why does he have to be such a downer? Wedge meets up with Luke, and Luke toasts to Red Squadron, remembering all those fallen in the line of duty. He mentions Biggs and immediately becomes downcast. Han's witty reply: "Okay, I see we've reached the maudlin stage of milk drinking." haha
Hera makes a cameo. Although she doesn't have any dialogue, we see her in the background. Then a few panels later we see Zeb! Later, during the dialogue between Luke and Wedge, Wedge mentions Hera's training exercises. So cool the comic is mixing in characters from Rebels!
Ackbar mentions Raddus. *smile* He's talking about building a fleet from supplies acquired by Queen Trios and says that Raddus's gills would have shuddered at the possibilities. I love that the Rebels are still thinking about the people who fell at Scarif! It warms my heart.
Leia comes to Rebel High Command with a crazy scheme to free the Mon Cala King Lee-Char. She hopes he will have a different view of joining the rebellion than Urtya did. She says she knows his location and knows how to get him out...by kidnapping the Mon Cala sector's Moff and acquiring his biosignature...that'll be easy...
Another stage of the plan involves going to Dex Acquisitions (a bounty hunting firm) and acquiring an "asset". At first I wasn't completely sure who or what they hoped to gain by this but all was made clear when the asset's talent was revealed...very intriguing. I can't wait to see how Leia's plan plays out! Dex Acquisitions is on Meor Ain.
All in all, a worthy issue with a big surprise at the end. I'm definitely on board with this story arc and look forward to seeing where it goes! Apparently in the next issue, our heroes will be using the expertise of C-3PO to get the job done...
