“Rebel Jail” continues the fantastic Luke Skywalker series of graphic novels. As with “Skywalker Strikes" (vol.1) and “Showdown on the Smuggler's Moon” (vol.2), the third installment takes place between “A New Hope” and “The Empire Strikes Back.” The book introduces an exciting new character. Fans of spy fiction will adore Eneb Ray, because he is a rebel spy in the likeness of James Bond. It’s deeply satisfying to see the spy genre worked into the Star Wars universe. The Dr. Aphra plot line that threads through the Darth Vader series (which is highly recommended) works its way into “Rebel Jail.” In addition to the regular trilogy characters (R2-D2, C-3PO, the Emperor, etc.), Sana Starros continues as a welcome part of the new cast. In Han and Luke’s adventure, we get to witness the event that inspired Leia to eventually refer to Han as a “nerf herder.” Speaking of Princess Leia, she plays a large role in the book. Near the end, a new and frightening character is introduced: a lightsaber wielding stormtrooper! Earlier in the series, Luke Skywalker obtained Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Tatooine Journal. The final chapter of the graphic novel is an excerpt of the continuing story of how Kenobi kept Luke safe when living at the Lars homestead. In it, we get to see Luke fly his T-16 skyhopper in Beggar’s Canyon. In “Rebel Jail,” the writing is good and the artwork is beautiful.
