"No... I am your father." In the wake of the events following The Empire Strikes Back, it is a dark time for the heroes of the Rebellion. The Rebel fleet... scattered following a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Hoth. Han Solo... lost to the bounty hunter Boba Fett after being frozen in carbonite. And after being lured into a trap on Cloud City and bested in a vicious lightsaber duel against the evil Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker...learned the horrible truth about his past. Vader did not kill Luke's father, Anakin – Vader is Luke's father! Now, after narrowly escaping the dark lord's clutches, and wounded and reeling from the revelation, Luke, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, the Wookiee Chewbacca and the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 must fight their way back to the Rebel Alliance – for the fate of the entire galaxy is at stake! After so many losses, is victory still possible? But, what Leia, Luke and their ragtag band of freedom fighters do not realize is that they have only traded one Imperial trap for another! Enter the cunning and vengeful Imperial Commander Zahra, at the helm of the Tarkin's Will! Writer Charles Soule (DARTH VADER) and artist Jesús Saiz (DOCTOR STRANGE) are taking us all to the galaxy far, far away!

This is an easy 5 stars. Awesome story and artwork. This is a story that needs to be told.
Even in the EU/Legonds universe, Shadow of the Empure was a while after the Empire Steikes Back. This book is directly after and deals perfectly with the fallout. Luke is coming to the realisation he has been used and lied to. His belief in the force was damaged, and his lightsaber was lost. He must now find a new path to his destiny.
There are also trust issues from Leia, Chewie, and the rebels against Lando. All this and there is still a war on, and the rebels are being soundly beaten.
I can't say enough good things about this book. Dealing with the fallout, and even linking to the High Republic series. This is a must-have for any Star Wars fan.

Actual rating is 3.5 stars.
This is the start of a new comic run set in this universe. It is set between The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi. In this one we visit the Rebels after all of the devastating events that happened in Episode V.
Right away I was invested in this and I have a feeling when this is all said and done this run might become a favorite of mine. I love the idea of exploring what happened between the movies because I have always had questions. I never understood how Lando went from giving up Han to a general. Why did the Rebels trust him when he has not earned that trust? It looks like we will find out those answers and more. The highlight of this particular collection was Luke and him dealing with finding out about his relationship with Vader. I loved the switching back and forth from his feelings at the moment and scenes with his battle with Vader. All the characters have their moment and we have little tidbits that tie in with the newest trilogy. The artwork is on point and there really was not a flaw with this collection.
The only reason that this did not get a higher rating is that even though everything was enjoyable and I was interested throughout it is a setup collection. It set up the characters from the events of the movie and how they proceed. I have a feeling (and no it is not bad) that the subsequent collections and the rest of this run is going to be terrific and will have higher ratings for me. I for one cannot wait to find out.

Fabulous comic adventures that do justice to the original trilogy. If only Disney’s sequels did the same...

Good story!

I am rereading all the SW stuff atm and my god this one was so good again, now we are in the post episode 5 era and this one is really good seeing how the rebels reform after losing Han TESB and well its an interesting journey for Luke and I love that aspect and just seeing the set up for things to come is awesome and the new enemy Commander Zahra and her crew "Tarkins will" are great nemesis for the rebels and seems like they will be around for the long haul. The main story which focuses on taking the rebels back to Cloud city is good too and it sets up some interesting stuff and I love the focus on Lando here and maybe he is not all scum and Charles characterization of him is so awesome, I loved reading it! Plus the connections with the high republic here was surprising and I loved that, so for people reading both its a great pay-off!

So after the empire?
This volume starts with Luke, Leia and Lando leading the rebellion. One guy confused after his father revelations and Leia taking control of rebels and then they make their way to Cloud city for Lando business but then they realize they are trapped and each have their own struggles to go through? Luke must rise up and claim his destiny and find the meaning of what it means to be a Jedi and Lando must find his friends Lobot. Also the mystery of Han continues.
Its a good volume with lots of twists but knowing the story of whats going to happen ahead reduces the impact of whats supposed to be shocking moments. Despite that its well written and has cool action scenes and it gives a lot of time to other characters and connects to overall star wars continuity. I like how luke adventures go and he meets Verla too and has his new mission.
Plus I like the foreshadowing of whats to come wit Darth Vader ad Boba Fett in this run. Good stuff and its a better star wars read and enjoying the writing of Soule.

The main Marvel Star Wars series (in the new canon) was mostly dire—awful artwork, ridiculous stories, characterizations that often seemed completely wrong. So I had low expectations of the restart into the era between Episodes 5 and 6. However, this first volume is fantastic! It picks up directly where The Empire Strikes Back ends, answering some unresolved questions between the two movies. Some are just minor plot points: How does Luke get his X-wing back from Bespin? How do Lando and the others make the plan to rescue Han? How does Leia know how to free Han from the carbonite? How and where did the Rebel fleet regroup after fleeing Hoth? But other issues are deeper, such as the emotional arc Luke goes through in dealing with the new information about Vader’s identity, and the lack of response and assistance from Obi-Wan and Yoda during and after the confrontation.
The artwork in this book is a thousand times better than the previous series, and the characters are mostly spot-on. Really excellent Star Wars storytelling.
And in addition to all of that: Luke’s line about sand. :)

Charles Soule is quickly becoming the go-to author for Canon-defining Star Wars published media, be it comics or prose. No surprise, then, that now that he has made the switch from his acclaimed Darth Vader run to the flagship Marvel title the quality does not let up, and the details of what Our Heroes (minus Han because, you know, Frozen in Carbonite) get up to between Episodes V and VI kicks off with a bang.
The art is solid, as well, with none of the photorealistic weirdness of the previous run.

Just like with Charles Soule's other Star Wars comics, this is a really solid fun adventure that plays with the lore in a lot of interesting ways. It's also set between episodes V and VI, which is obviously a better time period than IV-V, but still feels constraining and I would much rather have a line of books set post-VI so the writers wouldn't have to be so strangulated. Still, Soule does the best he can with what he has to work with and comes up with the story that I really enjoyed following. It requires a bit of suspension of disbelief because some of the events that happen here feel just a bit too big and important to be omitted by the original movies, but that's what you gotta deal with when you set the books the way Marvel did here. Anyway, this was a good read and Charles Soule is a good Star Wars writer. Give him more stuff to write, please and thank you.

The Empire has struck back, and now the Rebels are on the back foot. With Han Solo trapped in carbonite and a new imperial captain on their tail, the Rebels will need to rely on their least likely of saviours - Lando Calrissian! Plus, Luke Skywalker reels from the revelation regarding his parentage, and must grapple with whether he still wants - or deserves - to be a Jedi.
If anyone was going to take over the main Star Wars title, it was going to be Charles Soule; the guy knows his characters, his continuity, and how to tell a great story. He slides into the driver's seat easily, pulling from his own Darth Vader and Poe Dameron runs as well as the overall Star Wars canon as needed to move these characters further along their inevitable journeys towards Return Of The Jedi.
The first four issues are mostly about the Rebellion returning to Cloud City to liberate it from the Empire; with Han otherwise occupied, it falls to Lando to fill the lovable rogue slot in the team which he does well enough - he's different enough not to just be interchangeable with Han, and he allows for some fun conversations between himself and Princess Leia.
The latter two issues take Luke on (another) solo adventure as he tries to find a new lightsaber, crossing paths with a side character from Soule's Darth Vader series and putting his trust in the Force to the test. This is perhaps even better than the first four issues, and gives a different outlook on the Force that we don't often get to see. While it's usually all 'The Jedi are good and the Sith are bad', someone painting them both as the bad guys is an interesting perspective worth exploring (the Grey Jedi exist for a reason!).
Jesus Saiz's artwork is perhaps a little more muted than his usual fare, perhaps because of colourist Arif Prianto rather than his usual collaborators. He does a great job, making the characters his own without just photoboxing them all (so that's a nice change from the last series), but it definitely feels flatter than I've come to expect from Saiz.
Star Wars is in good hands - the only hands that it could have gone to.

Star Wars Vol. 1 The Destiny Path collects issues 1-6 written by Charles Soule with art by Jesus Saiz. The events in this book take place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
The book immediately picks up even before The Empire Strikes Back ends with Luke, Leia, Lando, and Chewie escaping from Bespin and arriving to the Rebellion's rendezvous point which is the scene of a major space battle. The Rebellion has split its army into multiple divisions but The Empire found multiple hideouts within hours which can mean only thing - The Empire has cracked the Rebellion's codes. Now Leia must figure out a new way to communicate with the rest of the Rebels before the Empire can hunt them all down. We also get an adventure back to Bespin where Lando has some outstanding business on Cloud City and Luke searches for his lost lightsaber.
First off all I want to say I did like this book, but I was slightly disappointed. I think the return to Cloud City was incredibly rushed and there was an eye rolling event that happens. I also can't stand how often The Empire is easily beaten in movies, shows, books, comics, and games. How are we supposed believe they conquered the Galaxy and be this big threat but can be so easily defeated by smaller and less equiped forces? There is still a lot to like in this book though. Charles Soule gets Star Wars characters. Lando is still the perfect mix between hero and scam artist. Luke is troubled by the learning of Vader as his father but more determined than ever to become a Jedi. Leia is on mission to return to the Rebellion and rescue Han. Vader is still intent on bringing Luke to the dark side. And we have a new villain who commands a Star Destroyer that survived the destruction of the first Death Star - Tarkin's Will. The art was great throughout and really showcases the action. I am excited to see where this series will go.

Charles Soule starts of his next run on Star Wars very well here! Picking up right after the end of Empire, we see Luke dealing with what he learnt at the climax of ESB, making him more determined than ever to become a Jedi.
Soule also has a great grasp of the Star Wars lore and mythology. It’s so clear to see in his work which makes for really good Star Wars content

The second series of Marvel’s Star Wars starts with Volume 1, “The Destiny Path”, which takes place immediately after the events of “Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back”, and it’s off to a good start.
Luke is still trying to wrap his head around Darth Vader’s revelation that he is Luke’s father. His anger and confusion are playing havoc on his Force abilities. Lando is trying to rebuild the trust he lost when he betrayed Han. He, Chewbacca, Leia, and Luke return to Cloud City in the hopes of retrieving Luke’s lost lightsaber. Lando attempts to free his pal, Lobot. Leia is captured by Imperials and put into carbonite. Luke has a vision that takes him to the Outer Rim, to an ancient Jedi temple, where he fights an Inquisitor; the Rebel Alliance may be battered but they’re not beaten, and under Luke and Leia’s leadership, they may have a shot…
Writer Charles Soule continues to prove himself as a great new voice in the new canon graphic novel series. Looking forward to more of this…

The first volume of Marvel's new Star Wars comic was set right after A New Hope. This volume picks up right after The Empire Strikes Back.
This was good, showing a return to Cloud City as well as Luke's quest to become a Jedi. Darth Vader shows up as well, of course. So does Jabba the Hutt and others.
I liked the Dark Horse Star Wars comics, but for whatever reason I've liked the recent Marvel books more. Dark Horse did a great job on the expanded universe, but the original movies will always be my favorite characters and stories. The Marvel series really do a good job of catching the spirit of the original Star Wars films.

Good stuff, though I have to confess to being a bit tired of all these stories that fit in the "in-between" of the established canon. There's such a wider universe and so many more possible stories. Give me something new!

The title of this volume is perfect for the story it contains.
May 23, 2021
It always amazes me how there are so many new stories to tell in between the films.

Super good, and it draws some neat things from Star Wars: Rebels. Overall, a great, smooth follow up to The Empire Strikes back and the comics that take place before it.

Ohh, I have missed this.
I loved the entire Skywalker Strikes series so much. I was so excited to learn that a new series was starting - and it's set between ESB and RotJ! Such a great time period to work with!
I'm an absolute sucker for comics like this that weave the content of the movies together so much with their own plot. This book starts off so intense, with so many flashbacks, and it's spectacular. I really loved seeing how every character was working with stuff - Luke is having a crisis of faith and destiny, Leia is working to aid the injured Rebellion, Lando is trying to get back his city and earn his friends' trust - and Chewie, along with everyone else, wants to get Han back.
Ooh, also, this comic also has Kes Dameron and Shara Bey, so that was fun.
I really loved everything about this book, but my favorite part was probably
Also!! This comic has an absolutely fantastic Rebels tie-in that I loved with all my heart.
Ugh, I want the next volume of this already. I had such a great time with this. Easy 5/5 stars.

Charles Soule kickstarts the post-ESB Star Wars comics with a satisfying, tie-in-heavy volume of action and Force mysticism. First up: Lando, Leia, Luke, and Chewie meet back up with the Rebel remnant after the disasters at Hoth and Cloud City, only to discover that the Empire can listen in on the Rebellion's comm calls. So they're adrift!
Somehow, this leads to the heroes running off to Cloud City to complete various tasks. I would have liked more time with Luke hunting for his lightsaber, but it was nice to see Lobot folded back into the narrative. In the concluding issues, we see Luke chase down a dream of a Jedi woman handing him a lightsaber. If you've read Charles Soule's Light of the Jedi book, I'm sure these issues are quite meaningful - there are loads of High Republic references. There are also some locations from the Mandalorian series!
I can't complain about the heavy referencing - it's classic Star Wars. The art by Jesus Saiz does seem a bit rotoscoped, but farrrrrrrr, far less than previous monstrosities. I would qualify it as "pretty good," which is excellent by Star Wars standards.

Taking place just after The Empire strike backs this new run starts very well indeed. Soule introduces new characters to be developped later I suppose but mostly does a very good job with the old ones. Soule has perfectly nailed Lando for example and all the interactions he has with Leia or Chewie are quite excellent.
Luke is also well depicted and his reactions after the traumatism he endured are realistic and plausible.
There’s always been this huge gap between episodes 5 and 6 that I wished were more detailed somehow. This series looks like it might actually fill it up.

"A jedi isn't his lightsaber. A lightsaber is just a tool. A jedi is someone who uses the force to bring light to the galaxy. To protect people and push back the darkness."
This is so good. It's always fun to be in the Star Wars universe. I can't wait to read the next one.

I love being able to see the references to the High Republic series :)

Trudno mi oceniać komiksy ze Star Wars, bo nie do końca znam się na ich skali. Jednak całkiem nieźle idzie mi oceniane komiksów jako takich, więc oto jestem.
Jest to dobry materiał. Uwielbiam sceny z zawahaniami Luka oraz to jak rozbudowana staje się postać i ile to dodaje.
Bardzo podobało mi się pokazanie różnych perspektyw. Nie tylko jasnej strony mocy, ale tej ciemnej oraz kurde... Ilości cierpienia i stary, która się kryje za nimi.
W skrócie określe ten tom mieniem dobrego początku ✌️
Ps. Jeżeli kolejne tomy pokażą inną jakoś i będę umieszczać je na skali, jest szansa, że wrócę tu trochę zmienić ocenę. Ale no... Just git

Charles Soule is a huge Star Wars fan and I can see it in his writing. I love the many references to older comics and to the movies that he slips in here. Luke and Vader’s relationship is portrayed so well and in a light on Vader’s side that most wouldn’t think too hard about. I already love this journey Luke is taking to discover who he is now. The art isn’t too bad in this book. The time period this takes place is similar to the original Marvel series, so I’m excited to see where this story goes. Really enjoying it so far!

Enjoyable, but thin story
The idea of stretching this out for an ongoing series is a bit much to ask. Were it a self-contained mini- or maxi-series, a focus on one key character story and resultant resolution would be more satisfying.
The forced references to the High Republic era by calling it the High Republic era by name reads as a cyncial marketing choice. Blech.
Solid artwork, though, and that will always earn extra points from me.

This start promises something for Soule's run on the comic!
Luke dealing with PTSD after his encounter with Vader on Bespin. Everyone not trusting Lando. Han being gone. The High Republic mentions?! Sign me the fuck up!

This takes place right after Empire Strikes Back.
Not bad, it’s okay. I like Soule as a writer. Fills in some gaps. Leaves others.

Interesting... but also a bit cheesy. Glad they rescued Lobot, though. Definitely one of the most memorable parts of the Lando comics and it's great to see him back.

Great stuff! Additional ideas near the end of and post-ESB, which is probably my favorite time period. (Do these count as books?)
