Having already been established in Aftermath, it’s nice to see they haven’t been forgotten about amid all the various goings-on in the galaxy, and there’s more than enough fan service to keep everyone happy. Recognisable faces like Han, Leia, Mon Mothma and Wedge Antilles make extended appearances throughout, but really its the aforementioned gang who dominate proceedings. Here, now that The Force Awakens has been made available to the world, Wendig can afford to let loose a bit, continuing to focus on the disparate band of Rebels: former X-Wing pilot Norra Wexley, her son Temmin (the younger version of Greg Grunberg’s ‘Snap’ from Episode VII) and his enhanced Trade Federation battle droid Bones, defecting Imperial officer and Endor veteran Sinjir Velus, Zabrak bounty hunter Jas Emari and New Republic special forces soldier Jom Barell, as they search for the missing Han Solo, who has gone AWOL while attempting to rescue Chewbacca after their attempt to liberate the Wookiee’s home planet of Kashyyyk goes badly wrong. You have been warned.Īs much as we enjoyed Chuck Wendig’s Star Wars: Aftermath – the first officially canon post- Return Of The Jedinovel – it did occasionally feel hamstrung by the fact that it was clearly keeping its cards very close to its chest. Warning: Inevitably there will be SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD.
