The much-loved king of Mon Cala was murdered at the hands of the Empire causing an open revolt on the planet. A well-timed counterattack by Admiral Ackbar as well as the help from Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo, the Mon Calamari's fleet are now prepared to fight with the Rebel Alliance. The Rebels owe their victory in part to Queen Trios of Shu-Torun and her defection to the cause. But can they trust her?
While Leia tries to make Queen Trios more comfortable on the ship, Han, Chewie, and C3PO are off making a deal with some questionable people. Luke is getting ready for his aerial acrobatics show for the entire fleet that has met to talk. But when it is time to go to hyperspace they can't move. Something is blocking them.
And then an Imperial fleet appears with Darth Vader leading them. The Rebels quickly figure out that Queen Trios sold them out and go after her but she escapes in an escape pod. Worse, the bay doors are sealed keeping the fighter planes from exiting and fighting. They've lost com signals between the ships too.
Han arrives just as a ship has been obliterated. He fights off attacks but a tie fighter with Vader in it gets on his tail and he can't shake him. Then Luke finds out that if they just fly at the bay doors they will open so he heads out to do just that and then others follow him. But they have no way of getting this information to other ships. Luke finds a way to send a message to the other ships about the bay doors in space and soon other ships are sending out fighters too.
Leia meanwhile is working on getting the data needed to unlock the hyperdrive. Will they succeed in getting their forces out of there before losing too many ships? Also included is Annual IV where Sansa has found an old lightsaber that belonged to a really bad Sith Lord. There were two of them and she figured to make twice the profit so she sold the first one to the Empire and the second one to a collector who knew there was a second lightsaber and comes after her. Soon she has the collector and the Empire after her and Luke Skywalker happens to be there picking up credits for the Rebel Alliance and picks up the lightsaber and feels its evil.
This is a great comic that leaves you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next and whether or not they can pull it off. Queen Trios proves to be more complex a character than seen at first too. I really enjoyed the Annual comic a lot too. It was really entertaining as only a Sansa led comic can be. Overall this was a fabulous book and I give it five out of five stars.
