This July, Hugo Award-winning writer G. Willow Wilson (MS. MARVEL) explores a pivotal conflict in Holdo's early career that will start the young woman down the path to heroic infamy for the rebellion! With her ship at the mercy of a dangerous enemy, it's up to Holdo to outsmart their foe and win the confidence of her compatriots in the process. With art by Elsa Charratier! The infamous 'pirate queen' of Takodana, MAZ KANATA, thought she'd seen everything in her thousand-plus years of running a bar and hiring smugglers. But it turns out that the criminal underworld is always full of new surprises…especially when she hires HAN SOLO and CHEWBACCA for a job! Story by Tom Taylor (AGE OF RESISTANCE)! o And Poe Dameron's loyal companion, the astromech droid BB-8, just can't seem to stay out of trouble. His missions always seem to escalate into a full-blown adventures! And if it means a win for his friends and the heroic Resistance freedom-fighters the little droid will stop at nothing to get the job done! Story by CHRIS ELIOPOULOS!

The 'era' specials have been the weakest link for the AOR series. Compared to the single character issues, they've been a waste. There's a LOT of waste in the Age of Resistance special.


Waste of space by having three 8 page stories, but we've been through that twice already.


Waste of Elsa Charretier putting beautiful pages together of...Admiral Holdo, who gets to dye her hair in the story. She also does more things with space ships that simply would have been done before if they would work in the Star Wars universe. You could just as easily slap Battlestar Galactica on the cover if you aren't going to fit with what already exists.

Lastly, there's a waste of a perfectly good droid in the BB-8 section. We've seen robot rebellion in the Star Wars universe. We've seen the Empire, I mean, First Order deal with droids. They've never tortured them. They're machines. You wipe them and send them back out. Entire story premise based on a fallacy presented as fact?...check. Where have we seen that before? In 2017?


If you'd like to see an old sci-fi property rebuilt from the ground up, be sure to check out the new Battlestar Galactica (2004). No one brings Dirk Benedict in to have him tell you that Daggit and Imperious Leader are the same character to connect the show to 1978. Or to the A-Team.
