A little story in a very distant galaxy
Opening this volume is like immersing yourself in the decisive moment that marked the final fall of the galactic empire and the triumph of New Republic. It is not an adventure, but the final climax of the Galactic civil warThat point where an entire galaxy changes forever.
The action takes place a year after the Battle of Endorthe one in which the second was destroyed Death y Darth father He finished with him Palpatine emperormarking the beginning of the end of his empire. On the desert planet of Jacket The imperial force that still exists to give a last decisive blow against the new new Republic, the government whose head is found Mon Mathma as a chancellor.

The end of this battle, with the victory of the light side, will lead to an emerging remaining emerging imperial emerging which will later connect with what the First order. At the same time, characters like Norra Wexley They become key protagonists, while the intrigue is also intertwined around figures such as the Great Almirante Rae Sloane and the strategist Gallius Rax. The end of the empire was not something glorious and fast, but violent, fragmented and with consequences that arouse echoes decades later.
Luke, rent, he …
For the most nostalgic, here we will find several first -level characters already known. We will have a Read the organWhich in general is not in the first combat line but appears as the leader of the new Republic. His role is political and strategic, supervising that the battle serves to close the war against the enemy at the same time and at the same time manage the internal tensions of his government, which is still fragile and divided, while transporting his pregnancy in the best way.
Han alone The movements of the new Republic are connected to Leia, although no key of the key time. It is at that point where he tries to support, but he also begins to feel more and more uncomfortable with the “political role” that is expected of him. His presence is more testimonial and serves to strengthen the continuity between the classical trilogy and this war closure, as well as wearing his new beard and being an excuse for us. Chewbacca…
Y Luke Skywalker I couldn’t lose. This Jedi Adult and expert is shown here as everything expected after what was seen at the end of The return of the JediCiming his legend as one of the greatest users of Force In history. Its importance will be absolute in some moments, and it is possible to rejoice since it will generally be taken very well. Ah, e Darth father! Obviously Anakin Skywalker It will pass through these pages. Being dead is not an impediment to a Sith Like him.
Visually unnoticed
In the graphic section the result is frankly disappointing. Lately we were seeing the stories of Star Wars published by Planet Comic with a visual approach that was at least attractive, but this is not the case of the battle of Jakku. Visual style generally seems rather flat. The combat scenes, which should vibrate dynamism, often seem static. The ships and the landscapes of the desert, very appropriate for a cartoonist to watch, appear as cut funds instead of housing spaces. There is also no visual impact of crossing, explosions and pyrotechnic, but everything seems to be in accordance with transmitting a message to the reader. The contrast is painful: the plot intensifies, increases and explodes, while the design remains in an almost neutral state, lacking the opportunity to make Jakku feel in every cartoon.
And when we get closer to the characters, when the conflict becomes a face and an aspect, expressiveness does not accompany. The emotions are there, in the text, but the faces seem unexpressive, without real tension. And not to mention the poor personalization that the characters have, being the faces very similar to each other. This means that an apparent character has only one dressSince without him it would always be unrecognizable (yes, I speak of you).
In summary, the battle of Jakku is a volume that fulfills the narrative. You have imperial conspiracies, loyalty placed, heroes who feel in crisis and the real closure of the imperial phase. If that’s what you are looking for, you are on the right way. But if you also ask that art is up to par, you should know that the drawing does not align on a dramatic level. At the end of the volume in which you remain with that sweet and sour sensation: a rich and powerful story full of climax on the one hand, and on the other a graphic section that, without being horrible, is not short for the dimensions it intends to count.
