As the wedding approaches, Luke Skywalker has a troubling vision: somewhere in their future, a dark hand is grasping at him and his new wife, Mara Jade. But nothing can shake the young Jedi Knight's resolve, not a solemn ceremony of Jedi accepting the Union, nor even a night of carousing and revelry deep within the city canyons of Coruscant.
Okay. Now I get it. This series is a slow burn for sure. Issue #1 was entirely a 'happy people in happy land' set-up, with issue #2 starting to introduce to assassination plot and those who are behind it.
While Luke and Mara think about their honey moon, a group is out to take them out when they least expect it.
Looking forward to seeing what happens next and things do seem like they are coming together nicely.
I can't tell you how many times over the years that I have read Union. If there was ever a graphic novel/comic that I wished was a full-fledged novel, it is this one. I loved Mara Jade from the very first time we meet her in Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire and new her and Luke were destined so when Union became available, I grabbed it and never let go. Might be corny at times but so much fun, so much Star Wars-ian brilliance. And yes, this is part of the Legends timeline and has nothing to do with Disney's future but I don't care because I just love this story so much.
