You know what really murders my feelings about this? Not just Leia's mixed feelings about Vader being her father and how she can't forgive it, at least not right now, is that Anakin's Force ghost is on Endor with them. That he probably watched over her, unable to reach out to her, because she doesn't want to hear from him, not yet. That he can only stand by and watch as she calls him "father" for the first and maybe last time, as she tosses aside his burnt mask, and says she's setting him aside for now, because her family is waiting. That he has to know she isn't just living her best life, that this haunts her, that this twists her up inside, that part of her is straining towards forgiveness, knowing that he sacrificed himself to save the brother she loves, that there was still some good in him, but she still can't forgive, because she's too angry, too stubborn, too much like him. And we don't see him here, but you know he had to be there, drawn to her words to his ashes, watching over her and only able to listen as she says goodbye and walks away. THAT REALLY MURDERS MY FEELINGS ABOUT THE ENTIRE SKYWALKER FAMILY.

Battle of Jakku - Insurgency Rising Thoughts

"Hello......father. I came to say goodbye. I wasn't sure what I wanted to find here. This should be a happy moment. I should be celebrating, After years of pain, we finally have good news. But I'm stubborn. I can't help myself. I needed to talk to you face-to-face. But now I'm not sure what to say. I'm not like Luke. Luke can forgive with an ease I strain for. All I feel is anger--over all the things you did. The people you hurt. The people you left behind. But I'm going to set that aside for now. My family is waiting." Leia Organa

The Battle of Jakku - Insurgency Rising is a great start to this maxiseries.

Everything about Luke Skywalker in the comic was written very well. The Jedi Knight who is emerging on his first steps to becoming a Jedi Master and restoring the Order. I love the advice he gives to Rynn, his mental process of processing the changing galaxy, and his role in it. I find it funny how he easily dispatches the Acolytes of the Beyond and Renya Oskure (her design in the actual comic is so bland, I wish they used the design on the cover art of Issues 3 and 4). My only complaint is the reason why he let Adelhard live is because plot demands he lives until the final arc otherwise great writing of Luke.

As one of the people who played Star Wars Uprising when it was up (I got to a good part of Act II before it was shut down), I was very excited to see the Uprising storyline concluded at last. Before this comic, my hype was up when Rise and Fall of the Galatic Empire revealed the OT heroes took Adelhard down, so I was pretty excited to see those events. I really hope we get to see Bragh in a more direct combat way with his weapons and the regular Purge Troopers. I really like the implication he might've been a former Purge Trooper of the Inquisitors based on his interactions with Renya (I also like the nod to how Uprising mentioned an Inquisitor operating in the Anoat Sector and might've been a future villain of the game had it not been shut down).

Grand Moff Ubrik Adelhard is a really fun Imperial Warlord. When I first played the game, I thought he was one of many Warlords who was local trouble but not potential galactic trouble. Well now, the comic establishes him as a possible galactic threat. I really love seeing his Stormtrooper days not as a normal Stormtrooper but as a TK Trooper which shows how early he joined the Empire. I find it funny now we know Adelhard served in the Seventh Fleet (it's pretty fun to know he served directly under Thrawn and was at Atollon) on the Chimera that perhaps his outfit as Moff with the epaulets is meant to emulate the outfits of the Grand Admirals (which funny enough makes him closer to the uniforms of Legends Grand Admirals). It was also unreal to see his infamous toxic gassing of Anoat depicted in the visual medium. Luke's assessment of Adelhard at the end summed up his character really well.

The Acolytes of the Beyond being central to the story tracks with the Aftermath Trilogy and Shadows of the Sith, given how active they were and Luke's encounters with them. I love that Azanti are finally back, tho as I said before, I prefer the cover art of Issues 3-4 for Renya's appearance over what the comic depicted.

It's also noice getting some Spice Runners of Kijimi lore as we see them ally with Adelhard's forces. Not because they believe in Adelhard's chances but because he can foment chaos in the Underworld which would give more time to thrive. I also love how little respect Bib Fortuna gets as the new crime boss of Jabba's former criminal empire.

Leia's bittersweet farewell to her father and reaction to Luke over it showcases how different she is from Luke. Unlike him, she can't let go of that anger her father did to her and her people. She can't forgive him just because he did one good thing at the end.

Gallius Rax is one of the best Imperial antagonists and it's amazing to see him in visual medium at long last. It is a retcon that Sloane is already promoted to Grand Admiral before Akiva but given what is shown in Republic Under Siege, it's far from the worst retcon. I also really love the mention of him under his "Operator" guise as he feeds the NR information to get rid of his rivals.

I really like seeing Jarek Yeager in the issue that was a nice continuity nod. I love the Resistance nods in Canon recently.

The final issue was my favorite (and had the best art of the entire arc) when I saw Luke take down the threats of Adelhard's forces easily, Lando coming to save the day (especially given he has a personal stake in freeing the Anoat Sector), and even Rynn reunites with her girlfriend Preeti. However, Luke has the unintended effect of motivating and showing Adelhard the need for him to ally with Dark Side users and the potential value in the Dark Side and by extension the Force.

"It's far from over. We got our people out. We slowed Adelhard's expansion--for now. But I caught a glimpse of who he is--who he wants to be. A man driven by a burning desire to seize something he feels was promised to him...but was yanked away." Luke Skywalker

"So, did we win?" Rynn Zenat

"Yes, in a way. We managed to win the battle--but do we have any chance of winning the war?" Luke Skywalker

Yeah this MIGHT be my last meme of 2024.

It sounded funny to me.

At the least.

It sounds like something that Bernard Black would say.
