Just finished issue two of this.

Really enjoying it so far. Just a couple prequel references tossed in, but they didn't seem shoehorned or forced to me.

Was really excited to see Boba on the cover, but a bit disappointed he wasn't around much. Oh well. I'm excited for more Boba, though, because it'll be less lame clone and more mysterious awesome.

Brian Wood is doing a fantastic job writing these; he's got the '77 feel of the characters down pretty well, Han is snarky, Luke is very green but prodigal, Leia is taking care of business.

It's also good to see Vader down more on the level with other officers, as well. It's nice to see him against the ropes, honestly.

The whole thing has a very untainted OT vibe to it; respectful of the film, but exploring new territory, and certainly not beholden to other EU or the PT. I'm also loving the art and colours; the art is fitting and feels right (this could easily have been ruined by crummy art), it's also not exaggerated and superhero-y, and the colours feel very authentic, the palate feels very OT to me.

Definitely enjoying this, definitely want more of it.
