Mild spoilers below. This month’s issue of The Star Wars is the print-version of deja vu. There is much in this story that will make you think, “… this seems familiar”, because you can start seeing more of how the final version of Star Wars: A New Hope came into being from this first draft. Case in point: this issue contains a huge space battle. It’s no surprise. First, it’s Star Wars – of course there’s a space battle. Second, the previews from Dark Horse showed it. What’s interesting about this battle is that it’s obviously the Rebels vs. the Death Star from the

I’m not sure what it is about this series that makes it hard for me to really enjoy it. Last issue ended the first story line about the Dinobots on Cybertron, and I called it a solid “Meh”. I also hoped that the new story starting here in issue #5 would grab me more. Well, so far, so bad. I should be caring about these characters, right? I mean, I love the Dinobots, I love the fact that they’re teammates who don’t necessarily bicker. There’s an appearance by a new version of a beloved Marvel Transformers character — okay, beloved might
