Due to the extreme lack of hype here about all the current Star Wars stuff coming out I am taking it upon myself to get the ball rolling on some discussion. Right now there are some fantastic Star Wars comic series existing right now. One of them is the fantastic series called Princess Leia.
The story takes place shortly after Episode IV. In fact, when it starts the rebels have not even evacuated from Yavin IV yet. Of the the three OT comic series this is the earliest set of them. The main character is obviously Princess Leia and it focuses on her struggles in knowing her purpose given that Alderaan was destroyed. Of the four series this might be the least interesting to me at this point but it is only two issues in and I think will need some time to develop but onto discussion!
Any Discussion After this picture will likely contain some spoiler content.
The first one begins right after Yavin IV and focuses on Leia wanting to go out and do things. The rebel leaders think she is too important and do not want her out and about looking for problems. It is during this time that we get to meet probably the more interesting character in the series which is rebel pilot Evaan Verlaine. She is a rebel pilot who is also from Alderaan and sees Leia as being completely unmoved by the destruction of their homeworld. Ultimately it is she who Leia confronts with an idea to get out and go look for people from Alderaan around the galaxy who evidently the Empire is hunting down (no idea why but whatever).
Issue 2, for me, drags a bit but you get to see more of the dynamic of between Leia and Evaan. They are trying to find another member of Alderaan. I've read this comic twice and it still is really hazy in my mind, likely because it just has yet to grip me.
