Sigh. Looks like I will get caught up in a cross over event. Just hope I do not need to get too many extra titles in addition to Star Wars & Darth Vader.

”Goodness me! Why do so many of our conversations lead to violence?”
3,5/5!
Star Wars issue 13 continues the crossover event between all the major ongoing Star Wars comic series. Luke Skywalker is informed by Chewbacca that there are rumours of a sighting of Boba Fett on Nar Shaddaa, the shady and lawless world known as the Smuggler's Moon. Luke, Chewie and the droids Artoo and Threepio head to investigate.
I liked how this issue started pretty much immediately after the first issue of this event, the War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha, where we follow Boba Fett as he accidentally loses custody of the frozen Han Solo. I also enjoyed seeing Luke in the main SW comic again, and seeing him train with his new lightsaber and be a bit more like himself again - in the beginning of this new SW comic series, he was a wreck in many ways, and it's good to see that he's now in a slightly better place. I also loved the tie to the film Solo, with the appearance of Sagwa, a wookiee Chewie helped liberate in the film.
This issue wasn't anything special, but I did enjoy it. It was fun - Threepio was absolutely golden in this issue - and it set up some interesting stuff for the future of this series and Luke.

Now...this is Star Wars!
The War of the Bounty Hunters continues as Luke, Chewie and the droids track down a lead that Boba Fett is on Nar Shaddaa, the smuggler's moon. And he was, we saw that in War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha. Anyway, the contact on Nar Shaddaa turns out to be Sagwa, a Wookie Chewbacca freed from slavery in the spice mines of Kessel during Solo...which was a nice call back.
Anyway, they don't find Fett but they do find Kanji, and hijinks ensue. Aggressive hijinks. Which are hijinks with a lightsaber. There's some great action here, and it's definitely good to see Luke cut loose (if you'll excuse the pun) with his yellow lightsaber. This is classic Star Wars action, lightsabers, blaster bolts, droids making inappropriate comments. I love it.
Also, we learn that Artoo has some info about the location of some old Jedi temples he found when they were on the Death Star, which I expect will become relevant sometime after this massive crossover event.
So, superb stuff, so much fun.

Good tie-in
Good tie-in. I want to read the next one to find out what happens. I like the story. Charles Would does a very good job.

Nice callbacks to Solo and Showdown on the Smuggler’s Moon, as well as a call forward to The Force Awakens.

Luke and Chewie on a buddy mission to save their other buddy? YES.
