This story is set after the Battle of Exegol that served as the climax of The Rise of Skywalker, honoring Temmin “Snap” Wexley (played by Greg Grunberg) who died in the battle. Wrapping up the anthology is “A Eulogy for Snap” featuring Poe Dameron. Ultimately this tale is rather simplistic, but it gets its point across that Ren is as riddled with anger and frustration. Soule has the audacity to take out a recently revealed location from a Disney+ show as well. He’s also carved up like a block of wood and looks formidable. Sliney draws Ren with an intensity that suits Adam Driver’s depiction. This story is a fun way to show Kylo Ren visited some iconic locations and is set between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. Titled “See you Around, Kid,” the story features Ren seeking what he describes as a ghost. Kylo Ren gets the next story with art by Will Sliney and colors by Guru-eFX. Leave it to Soule to remind us there’s a bit of Jedi still left in Darth Vader. The Emperor comes off as a man possessed by a demon, which suits his uber-evil nature. Cast in reds amongst a burning city–inks by Daniele Orlandini and colors by Arif Prianto–there’s a lot of kinetic energy thrown around visually. With art by Guiseppe Camuncoli, this is story is a treat as we rarely–if ever–have seen Darth Vader spar with the Emperor. Next up is another story also titled “The Lesson” which reads like a good tale to pair with the first as it features Darth Vader fighting the Emperor. For that matter, why don’t they use lightsaber technology to make other weapons? Obi-Wan has a good answer, one that is likely similar to those who fight with swords in medieval times. The training has them fighting with their lightsabers, which prompts Anakin to ask why Jedi use lightsabers. A somewhat younger Anakin spars with Obi-Wan in a courtyard.
It opens with “The Lesson,” drawn by Ramon Rosanas with Rachelle Rosenberg on colors. Overall, this is a fun and entertaining collection of stories. Can it live up to the expectations, or does it fall flat?
