Canon Comic Miniseries Review: Galaxy’s Edge

– Spoiler Review –

Opening up the first ever Star Wars theme park is quite the big deal, so of course to both build up the location within the universe and hype up the park, a publishing program launched, including the 5-issue miniseries, Galaxy’s Edge. Written by Ethan Sacks, with art by Will Sliney and Dono Sánchez-Almara, the comic explores the background to several objects within Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, tying them into a ‘present’ set heist story for the mythical Sword of Khashyun. While full of some intriguing and fun tales with familiar characters, Galaxy’s Edge doesn’t spend enough time at the park, meaning the heist or new characters don’t steal the show.

If you haven’t yet or won’t be anytime soon enjoying the Galaxy’s Edge theme park, then I can honestly say issue #3 of the park’s tie-in comic miniseries might be its best yet, as it connects to the park in a more meaningful way than the previous issues, while some familiar faces (including a BIG favorite of mine) add even more fun.
