Far more use of species and suchlike from the Expanded Star Wars Universe. Three different perspectives used in the telling of the section of the current story arc. Interesting non-black/white opinions used to add to the depth of some of the characters.
Nothing brilliant here, though it was interesting to revisit the Corporate Sector - and having the Millennium Falcon hidden inside another ship felt like a nice little homage to The Han Solo Adventures.
