Princess Leia #2

Eh, decent though highly predictable. It was quite strange seeing Leia sporting hair accessories that call back to her slave outfit given the time period. These new artists and writers need to stop with these pointless/anachronistic callbacks. It was a big problem with the EU, boosting things that are supposed to be rare/unknown as common place. Really don't want to see this new canon slipping back into that.ssue as well. What was my favorite comic in the current line has quickly taken a turn for the worst.

I've finally managed to read through the first two issues of this series, and I have to say, I failed to notice the similarities between the hair accessories she sports in this issue and ROTJ while I was reading it; I noticed it only after you pointed it out, and even then it's not a very strong similarity.

I took greater issue with Leia seeing a ghost/vision of Padme on Naboo. It came out of nowhere and felt like nothing more than an attempt to shoehorn a completely unnecessary connection to the prequels into the story.
