I just came from reading the third issue of the Princess Leia miniseries. Here's my opinion of it in one simple word:

HOO-HUM (Or is that two words?)

The confrontation between Leia's party and the "crazy" Alderaanians on Sullust felt forced and unnatural, just as if it were shoved in there for the sole purpose of having someone there for Leia to fight, and the resolution was no better. Honestly, this issue felt like plain ol' typical decompressed-comics filler, shoved in there to stretch the plot out for as long as possible without doing anything to actually progress the actual storyline or develop the characters.

I just don't know what to make of this miniseries so far. The first issue was pretty meh, the second issue was a bit more engaging (if only for the flashbacks to Leia's childhood), and then we're right back into meh territory here again. I'd like this storyline to succeed in impressing me, but right now, the magic's fleeting (if it's there at all).

Oh, and before I forget to mention it, I'm not loving the interior artwork. I've given Terry Dodson's work a chance, and while I think his cover art's good, I don't like his interior artwork; maybe it's his wife's sketchy inks, maybe it's the bland colour palette, but it's all so flat and boring to look at.

JEDIT: Finally -- and this just sunk in now -- I'm getting the vibe that Mark Waid's writing Leia as if she feels some sort of contempt for the Alderaanians' pacifism. Perhaps I'm seeing things which aren't there, but if I'm right, then Waid is interpreting the character in a manner I seriously don't like.
