Star Wars #15 – Vol. 3 (2021) continues the thrilling run set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, diving deeper into the inner workings of the Rebel Alliance as it faces relentless pressure from the Galactic Empire. Written by Charles Soule, one of Marvel’s standout Star Wars writers, this issue weaves into the epic crossover event War of the Bounty Hunters, expanding the scope of the conflict while keeping a strong focus on character and rebellion-driven storytelling.
In this chapter, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian are still reeling from the loss of Han Solo, who remains frozen in carbonite and in the hands of Boba Fett—or so they believe. As word spreads that Solo has been stolen en route to Jabba the Hutt, the Rebels must act fast to reclaim their friend, navigating through layers of betrayal, galactic power plays, and criminal syndicates.
This issue shifts the spotlight back onto Luke, exploring his evolving Force abilities and the weight of legacy he must carry as he inches closer to his Jedi destiny. It’s a thoughtful blend of action, suspense, and introspection, reflecting Luke's internal struggles as well as the external war being fought across the galaxy.
The art by Ramon Rosanas is crisp and expressive, with dynamic action sequences and clear emotional storytelling. The likenesses of the classic trilogy characters are rendered with care, staying faithful to their film counterparts while giving the comic its own visual identity. The panel compositions move at a brisk pace, complementing the urgency and tension present throughout this arc of the series.
As part of Vol. 3 of the ongoing Marvel Star Wars series, this issue ties seamlessly into the larger crossover, but also stands on its own as a strong exploration of Luke’s journey, the desperate state of the Rebel fleet, and the moral weight of leadership in a time of loss and chaos. It’s ideal for both collectors and fans following the War of the Bounty Hunters event.
