After saving Han from imperial fighters, helping him smuggle some nerf's, and threatening to tell on him for gambling away the alliance's supply money, Luke gets to fly the Millennium Falcon for a few parsecs. Back at Sunspot Prison, Leia, Sana Starros, and new enemy turned ally Dr. Aphra work together to figure out just whom has taken control of the facility. As they struggle to get to the control room, the biggest threat they face is each other, as Sana and Aphra threaten to kill each other nearly every page. They attempt to reporgram one of the battle droids while remotely, the mystery hijacker cancels the transmission of their distress call - all the while, going cell to cell and butchering the prisoners and broadcasting taunts from the loudspeakers.
Noticing movement, the assailants in the control room order their hostages, R2D2 and C3P0 to guard the door. Opening it and firing upon Leia and her team, they appear to be winning. Finally one last droid has them pinned down, to which Aphra reveals it wasn't the last droid after all. The unit she was rewiring comes in and saves the day, killing the other droid and pulling the blast doors open.
When they finally step inside, they find the control room in disarray.. R2 and 3P0 have apparently taken the droids who were in control down, and there was apparently a ship that heard their distress call after all - The Millennium Falcon. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker step inside to help the princess and her new team of prison breakers, and we're left to be continued next issue.
Pretty good book. I enjoy this title and they're really finding ways to expand an already told story for the most part, which is impressive. Looking forward to seeing what happens next month.
