pretty good.

Nice casual intersection between THE HIGH REPUBLIC and the time period of the Original Trilogy, and as usual Soule does a great job writing Lando in particular.

Peanut butter and jelly. Macaroni and cheese. Bacon and eggs. Charles Soule and Star Wars. Iconic duos that just belong together. The story of the Rebels in this volume is really good as a whole. I enjoyed seeing their journey out of No-Space. Luke’s own specific journey was also one I’ve continued to enjoy as he finds his own path to becoming a Jedi. Unusual for this title, but not completely unheard of in Star Wars books, Lando’s story and actions were some that has really struck me as fantastic in this volume specifically. This story is continuing beautifully and I always look forward to reading this flagship title!

This series has been a mixed bag for me. Its never been outright bad, its just been consistently 3.5 accept for the first volume, which was epic. Its kinda annoying how Luke hasn't had any major development, just baby steps, because all his big moments are in the movies.
This volume, apart from the weird Holdo/Lando thing, was pretty entertaining. I liked the kyber crystal lore. Didn't blow me away or anything though.

I thought this was good, but there wasn't really a lot of story progression. The rebels are trapped in "no space", then we see Luke on a quest to rebuild his lightsaber, and finally the rebels stage an attack on Coruscant. Good story, good art, but didn't feel like anything major.

We draw ever closer to RoTJ... I can see things lining up.
Highlights:
- Stranded in No-Space (see last Volume), the Rebels begin settling in and discovering what their new lives will be, when Chewie realizes something: by working together, they can retrieve the Path engine they used to come there and repair it, allowing from anyone in No-Space to leave.
- During the rescue of the tech, Luke's robotic left hand and lightsaber get crushed.
- They are able to help all escape, and the denizens take the Path engine and are not spoken of again, per their deal (or per helping to keep canon)
- With Ilum under strict Imperial control, Luke goes to Christophsis to find a Kyber Crystal. He meets Gretta and Dr Cuata, whom the latter repairs Luke's saber and asks two things in return for the repair: 1) Try and heal a red kyber, during which time he sees a Sith Conclave and gets attacked. and 2) Tries to attune to a white kyber, where he speaks with Yoda and turns the crystal green (we can only assume he uses it to make his new saber)
- In the final story, Leia has a plan to demoralize the Empire by attacking Palpatine's statue on Coruscant. The mission is a success. (Watch out canon team! The statue has to be rebuilt before this run of the comics is over, so it can be pulled down in the end of RoTJ)
Another great Volume. Looking forward to seeing the building of the lightsaber.
Strong recommend.

I was a bit disappointed in this book. There are a lot of things I find like in this book, but I think my disappointment comes from the fact that I see the characters very differently from how they are seen in the Disney era.
I like the bit of a crossover to the High Republic, I also like Luke having mixed results but being able to tap into the Force to do more amazing things, but to me, at this stage, he seems to need to be saved too often. He is nowhere near the level of Luke from the Expanded Universe. I like how Lando is being brought along slowly to the cause as well as making relationships and earning respect among the Rebellion. The other person I thought was out of character was Leia. I love Leia and the original warrior princess, and as a leader making hard choices, but sending people to die in a publicity or statement mission does not seem right to me. This would be a more Imperial thing to do.
It's a book with an awesome cover and some good and bad parts. As I said, the bad parts might have been more my perception of the characters. There is good development of the characters, especially Lando, towards how they are in the sequel movies (not my favourite versions of certain characters). The book finishes with a variant cover gallery.

Star Wars Vol. 6 Quests of the Force collects issues 31-36 of the Marvel Comics series written by Charles Soule, art by Andrés Genolet, Madibek Musabekov, and Andrea Di Vito, and colors by Rachelle Rosenberg.
Luke, Leia, Lando, Chewie and Holdo have found the Kezerat Convoy and its fuel supply but also find themselves stuck in No-Space against an army of Nizhil Killdroids. Later Luke goes on a spiritual quest to repair his lightsaber and will learn valuable lessons from the Force.
This is a great arc and I wish more of the post-ESB have been like this than the huge crossovers that don’t quite fit in my opinion. The comic storylines shouldn’t overshadow the movie storylines which I have felt the events have been doing. But here we get some smaller scale stories and battles that add to the time period and provide character growth, getting Luke and Lando to where they are when we see them in Return of the Jedi. I hope we continue to get stories in this vein.

Charles Soule and his team are truly doing something special with this series. Lots of adventure, exciting moments and the gap between ESB and RotJ is closing very well. There are some pivotal moments with Luke that fans shouldn't miss. Additionally, the character development Soule is doing with our Rebels has been remarkable, especially with Lando. He is definitely the star of the volume. The way he's being portrayed convinces me that he's getting closer to the character we see in RotJ and no longer the scoundrel we used to know.
Looking forward to see the continuation of this run, especially Luke's journey.

A collection of short story lines and a bit of a breather between the major crossover events. The first is a High Republic tie-in that's just okay, and the last is a single-issue story about a symbolic attack on a statue of the Emperor, but the middle story is a really decent addition to the expanding lore around Kyber crystals. As always, this series can end up feeling like begging for crumbs, but sometimes those crumbs are tasty enough to make up for it.

excited to see where the Luke storyline will go and also love Lando's character development, fits perfectly between the movies

Star Wars Quests of the Force is the 6th collected graphic novel installment of Star Wars (2020) containing issues 31-36. In this arc, Luke can feel a disturbance in the Force that causes it to ebb and flow. If following the Darth Vader and Doctor Aphra series, the reader knows the cause of this, and now we get to see how it affects Luke and his ties to the Force. He also has a lightsaber that is a bit on the jenky side. The yellow kyber crystal is cracked. When he goes to a planet known for its crystal excavations, he encounters a man who can seemingly "hear" rocks. He encourages Luke to explore a red and a green kyber crystal, which may lead Luke to a whole new understanding of the past between Sith and Jedi, and what may shape his next steps.
Another really great installment with flavorful art sure to please any Star Wars fan. The exploration INTO kyber crystals was an interesting element, and the geode whisperer was an intriguing character. We learn a lot about Luke and where he is in his relationship with the Force. There's also a good amount of plot revolving around the working and goings-on of the Rebel Alliance, especially after they leave No-Space. As always, I am eager for the next installment.

Another 'tweener volume in the mainline Star Wars series as we run through a handful of relatively minor incidents in the short time between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. We see the conclusion of the No-Space storyline - no surprise, our heroes return home with few scrapes. I would have liked perhaps a deeper dive into the weird world outside time/space, but no such luck.
The best issues in this volume feature Luke rebuilding a lightsaber and interacting with a variety of kyber crystals. There's some neat lore to unpack here, though it doesn't exactly make for thrilling content. Still, I like that Charles Soule managed to squeak something totally new ideas into this series that otherwise has a very known conclusion.
The final arc sees Lando and some other Rebels taking the battle to Coruscant while Palpatine is distracted by the Force wave fallout. Fun, fine, functional.

I think I'm in the minority here, but I'm kind of bored with Soule's Star Wars. The problem with setting this book here, between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, is that nothing that exciting can happen, and there's not really any stakes for the main characters. I would be way more interested in seeing how those Bothans ended up giving their lives for information about the second Death Star, but at this point I'm not sure we'll ever get there.

Book 6.
Trapped in No-Space, the heroes of the Rebellion have to find a Nihil Path engine in order to escape. Luke then has to undertake a quest to repair his damaged lightsaber, whilst Leia plans a symbolic strike against the heart of the Empire.
There are three main stories here and the first is simply finishing the narrative arc begun in 'The Path to Victory'. I can't say I found the overall plot of the Rebels being stuck outside the galaxy terribly engaging but it was a nice chance to get some character development in for Lando (not to mention a bit of nookie with Amilyn Holdo).
The story which follows Luke in search of a replacement kyber crystal felt a bit like retreading the storyline where he had to find a replacement lightsaber. It does give us some nice scenes of Luke telepathically entering both a neutral crystal and a dark side crystal and acknowledges the fact that he should really just being going back to Yoda for all this information. It's not a bad plotline, but it feels a bit out of place in this part of the timeline. Honestly, seeing Luke going on quests to better understand the Force and the Jedi feels like it would be better suited to the post-RotJ period.
The final third of this book gives us its best story, even if there is one major flaw in it. Here we see the Rebels re-affirming their public resistance to the Empire by planning a symbolic attack against Coruscant. What I want to see from this series at this point is the build-up to 'Return of the Jedi', with the Rebels no-longer on the back foot and instead making proactive plans. The problem is that the plan Leia comes up with here is nonsense. Send four pilots to Coruscant to blow up a statue, knowing full-well that they might not survive the attempt. I really can't see Leia wasting lives like this or Admiral Ackbar actually thinking it's a good plan. It's just a bit silly, really.

I must be a sadist who loves torturing themselves because even though I know it’s gonna be a huge disappointment with each new collection and even though I know I’m gonna mourn the fall of my favorite IP of all time, I keep coming back to this iteration of Star Wars and keep expecting different results. Hell, forget being a sadist, I’m clearly insane since I keep doing the same thing over and over and think things will change or get better.
Really though, this 3rd (or is it the 4th? I’ve lost count) redo/sorta continuation of the main Star Wars story is yet again a huge disappointment.
Aside from a first issue that has some of the most garbage artwork I’ve seen in a long time, there isn’t anything remotely interesting in this collection of 6 issues. Instead it’s just Disney and Marvel shoehorning dumb characters from the failed trilogy and the equally lame High Republic eras and trying to make them somehow fit into a plot that continues to evolve into more and more extreme levels of dumbness.
Like the previous volume, “Quests of the Force” also rips off storylines that were already told in much better fashion way back in the early-mid 90’s when Star Wars was good. Soule probably isn’t wholly to blame here (I know Disney is pulling his strings, telling him what he can and can’t write), however when it’s his name as the author, he’s not doing himself any favors as this brand continues to circle its way down the toilet in its slow and plodding death.
I still gave this one 2 stars since it’s at least marginally better than other attempts, however, as seems to be the case over and over again, this is yet another dud that deserves to be floating in the trash compactor on the Death Star.

Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Die Verbindung zur Macht
Seit längerer Zeit hat mich ein neuer Beitrag aus der Star-Wars-Hauptreihe mal wieder zutiefst beeindruckt. In diesem Comic geht Autor Charles Soule einen wichtigen Weg zurück zu Macht und Mystik.
Der Inhalt:
Gefangen im Niemandsraum müssen Leia und die anderen einen Weg zurück in eine weit weit entfernte Galaxis finden. Auf Christophsis stellt sich Luke der Suche nach seinem ganz eigenen Kyberkristall und erhält unerwartete Unterstützung...
Meine Meinung:
Der kleine Handlungsstrang rund um den Niemandsraum kommt zu einem würdigen Ende und bringt wieder einige Easter Eggs für Fans der Hohen Republik. Diese sind auch die große Stärke der Geschichte, die ansonsten ein wenig kreatives Thema umspielt (mal wieder die Versorgungsprobleme der Rebellion). Da spricht mich der zweite Teil deutlich besser an, denn Soule beginnt hier zu erläutern, wie Luke an sein eigenes Lichtschwert gelangte. Auf Christophsis warten Anspielungen auf den Rogue-One-Mikrokosmos. Darüber hinaus bleiben eindrucksvolle Bilder als Luke sich mental in das Innere von Kyberkristallen begibt. Hier haben sowohl der Autor als auch die Zeichner alles gegeben - mit großem Erfolg. Den Abschluss macht eine Kurzgeschichte über eine Propagandaaktion der Rebellen, die bestenfalls humorvoll, aber eher wenig überzeugend ist. Ihr werdet sehen.
Fazit:
Drei Geschichten in einem Band, von denen eine alle anderen überragt und eine hervorragende Bewertung für den Comic rechtfertigt.

Collecting issues #31-36 of the current ongoing Star Wars comic series from Marvel, Quests of the Force of our rebel heroes (Luke, Leia, Lando, Chewie and Holdo) trapped in No-Space at the mercy of the Kezarat Colony. It gets a nice resolution and I like the integration of High Republic concepts and lore stretching into the "present". After this, Luke and R2-D2 go to Christophsis hunting a replacement Kyber crystal to repair Luke's failing lightsaber. Meanwhile, a small group of pilots lead a strike on Coruscant giving us the origin of the Lando/Nien Numb partnership that we see in Return of the Jedi. The art, which can often make or break a comic for me, is really good and the story is engaging and entertaining. All of that combines for a highly enjoyable Star Wars comic that's well worth reading.

Most of this volume is the continuation of the No-Space story line started in the previous one. In an effort to return to the known galaxy, Luke and the others must retrieve the special engine from their downed craft, a mission that injures Luke and damages his lightsaber. Which leads to the first follow-up story where Luke seeks a fix or replacement of his damaged Kyber crystal. The book concludes with the Rebels making a gamble in attacking Coruscant while the Emperor and Vader are away and distracted.
The three plots were all fairly entertaining and interesting twists. The artwork was abysmal at times with one or two artists simply unable to recreate the known characters in a recognizable way.

I might be underrating this a tad based on expectations. I had a feeling the setup to arrive in No Space would be short lived with little dramatic tension, and it seems I was mostly right on that front. A one-off to blow up a statue of Palpatine on Coruscant and Luke traveling the galaxy looking for a new kyber crystal could have been a lot more interesting if the dramatic stakes had been at all raised. A lot of this felt undercooked or more accurately like filler, biding time until we’re at the doorstep of RotJ.
July 7, 2023
This is a very cool volume that adds to the lore of Star Wars. We get to see how Luke begins to acquire his famous green saber and done some with some brilliant imagery. The artwork is great in this, as always, and Soule does some great storytelling. Looking forward to what's next!

This was a fun read!
We see the crew trapped in the Kezarat colony in the no-space surrounded by the Killdroids of the Nihil and their only chance of rescue is to work with the people over there and their loyalties will be tested and I like how Soule is tying the High republic here and if you have read those stories it will payoff and then the characters there were fun, Lando and Holdo shared some great moments and a romance maybe there and then there is the stuff with Luke and wanting to get the diary and all and how they escape makes for a fun story showing there is always hope and the rebellion gets some new allies!
Then there is the story of Luke going to the planet "Christophsis" and how he gets the new saber meeting characters like Gretta who had a fun arc and this weird guy named "Dr cuata" who sort of made the light saber for him and I am interested to learn more about him and he has some shady secrets and also Luke faced off against some interesting visions of the dark side and I wanna know who that sith was when he was trying to restore the red kyber crystal.
And the last issue was sort of inspired by TG Maverick, and Soule has so much fun here with Lando on a mission with Millenium Falcom on Coruscant and you will enjoy it for sure, and it lays the ground work for the rise of the rebellion as it was broadcast!
So yeah overall fun story and run and the next big arc aka Dark droids should be fun to read!

Not my favourite volume of Soule's Star Wars series, by far.
The opening story, set in No-Space, is at least something different, but it falls into the trap of trying to establish stakes that we know won't go anywhere. Of course Luke, Leia, and Lando won't end up stuck in No-Space, we know they don't. There's a nice link to the High Republic series with this arc, but that's not enough to save it from being a little flat.
The following three issues are better, with Luke on a mission to rebuild his lightsaber while Leia arranges a mission to poke the Empire in the eye. But three decent issues don't save the entire volume from just being okay.
Andres Genolet finishes up his run with the first issue of this volume, before Madibek Musabekov cuts his teeth on the next four in an impressive first showing at Marvel, and Andrea Di Vito shows up for the final issue.
Eh. Bring on Dark Droids, please.

It's a challenge to retrofit canon to allow for concepts from the High Republic era to find a place in the classic trilogy time period. Soule does an admirable job, stranding Luke, Leia, Lando, Holdo, Lobot, and Chewie in No-space, where they discover other refugees surviving in an inhospitable environment. While the resolution of their experience is never in any doubt, the story does manage to give most of the characters some development (Lobot does get short shrift, unfortunately) as they manage to find an escape, but are forced by circumstances to 'never talk about their experience' as a way to hand-wave away the potential for contradictions and conflicts that arise from these characters ending up in a High Republic concept. The story moves at a good clip, but never really steps too far into memorable situations. It's a perfectly find story, but not one of the high points for the series.

Doesn't really go anywhere. This is kind of the epitome of trying to shoe-horn in incidental stories that fit in between the larger story that we already know. Usually Soule is pretty good at this, but this particular volume doesn't really add anything of substance. It's actually kind of boring. The art's all right...

It's nice to know that Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrizzian, Amilyn Holdo, Leia Organa, and Chewbacca once took a High Republic era longbeam to salvage a path engine from the ruins of the Nihil's Great Hall so they can help a lost convoy escape No-Space. But you'll never hear them talk about it in the movies.
Oh hello, cunty Sith Lord, what's your story?

The main line Star Wars series rarely misses. This was a lot of fun and has a really cool mission in issue 36. Always excited to see where the series goes next and to see what else is done with this force ripple that’s affecting all of these comics.
