Heartwarming and so sad. I couldn't stop laughing at Wedge's Tale.. I wonder how long it was before Chewie calmed down? :P ( )

This was a quick, easy read. The main event in the comic takes place after the death of Chewbacca. The droids R2-D2 and C-3PO are going around conducting interviews with people who knew the wookie for a tribute. This device serves as the frame for the stories presented about the life of the wookie. I liked it, but the stories at times seem a bit short. They are more like slices of life. However, if you are a fan of the character, or just want to see a bit more into the Star Wars universe, you will probably like this volume. I liked it. It was a nice addition. ( )

Heck yeah!

Wookies! Of a bunch of colors! Chewbacca throwing a dude out of a TIE fighter? Yes please!

Great comic. Great way to spend a day. A bit dated, and it dragged when the human characters appeared, but plenty of meaty awesomeness. ( )

This comic picks up shortly after Vector Prime, taking place in the lull between the Praetorite Vong beachhead and the arrival of the main force of the Yuuzhan Vong. During this time, C-3PO and R2-D2 travel the galaxy, recording testimonials from those who knew the fallen Wookiee warrior, friend and foes alike. I didn't much like the tales that mostly featured Wookiee characters-- they're hard to tell apart, and I think rendering Chewie's dialogue into English misses the point-- but most of these are decent little tales. I particularly liked "Ssoh; or, A Slaver's Lot," where Chewbacca leads a mass uprising, and "Wedge; or, A Pilot's Anecdote," a tall tale about just how dangerous a Wookiee can be. "Han; or, An Empty Galaxy" was also quite good: poor guy.
