This thread is a catch-all for all things Star Wars on the comic book page. Not sure how much business it will garner, but I have something to say, at least!

I read the latest issue of Star Wars proper yesterday. I thought this one was really good, and definitely an improvement over the last arc. I love the focus on the Stormtroopers. Are these guys supposed to be more individual than the original clone troopers? They certainly seem to be so.
I thought the rationale behind their dislike of the Rebels was spot-on. They see them as anarchists who are fighting against all laws and order. I don't agree, but at least I can see why they do what they do from their point of view.
The art by Jorge Molina was really, really nice. He has really come into his own over the past year.
This is the best I've read since the Stuart Immonen days. Bravo!
I read Poe Dameron #2-3 today.
I thought these were very...interesting. Poe D and Company land on a planet where a sort of religious colony is protecting and guarding a giant egg. Some Imperial soldiers come to disrupt their peaceful ways and in fact begin blasting away at the big egg. It "hatches" and two giant creatures (one black, one white) begin fighting like crazy.
This is somehow entertainingly written, even if the ideas aren't exactly that original. As a mini-series, this seems to be a series of stories rather than one long story, as this one is pretty much resolved at the end of issue 3. I do have issue 4, but haven't read it quite yet.
I read PD #4 today, and I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised. This was way more interesting and funny than the previous issues. It felt like I was reading Oscar Isaacs's portrayal of Dameron, with the humor and the pacing. Poe and his crew go to a prison planet to talk to Grakkus the Hutt to find the whereabouts of a lost comrade. When they get there, though, it proves to be more of a twisty situation than they expected. Grakkus has the information they need, but they will have to pay a pretty big price in order to make it happen. So glad I had already bought this issue before I had read 2 and 3, because I probably wouldn't have based on those two issues.
