"It was amazing."
5 out of 5 star rating... for the collective story arc of Arrochar as a whole. Meaning, you must read issues #15-18 back to back to back, without stopping before you judge.
At first glance, issue #15 feels very lackluster, incomplete, and just really missing the mark compared to what we have been receiving from Mr. Wood to the left of this. However, as you read #15, #16, #17, and then finally #18... this Arrochar story arc comes together to a truly compelling Star Wars adventure, that could easily be top tier if brought to life on the big screen either TV/Film.
I say again, you really need to read these all in one go to really receive the full grasp that this wonderful comic book series (within a series) delivers.
With only two (2) issues left for Mr. Wood (#19 and #20) remaining as I write this review - I am really looking forward to how this man turns off something so great. I believe in you Mr. Wood! Let's go!

Star Wars: Rebel Girl
#18 - “Never again … will I sit back … as others fail, and fail again, to end these rebels. The hunt will be mine to command, and mine alone.” - Vader

This issue brings the trio back together, separated by the marriage that threatened to tear them apart as their connections and love for one another was put to the test. What made this issue especially spectacular of course was Princess Leia, the diplomat and the warrior. Carrying a blaster to her own wedding, she was able to protect those close to her and protect those she loves. Of course, Solo and Luke are well equipped to take care of themselves.

It felt good to get the "prince sub plot" wrapped up so I could move on to the final two issues of the series. The art has been consistently inconsistent between issues since D'Anda stopped drawing. Mon Mothma in this issue, for instance, looks about the same age as Leia in this issue but at the start of the series, was at least 20 years her senior (which is how she was portrayed in the films). I hope Wood ties it up nicely in the remaining two issues!
