Star Wars #21 – Vol. 2 – 2016 introduces a dramatic shift in focus, offering readers their first in-depth look at the elite stormtrooper unit known as Scar Squadron. Written by Jason Aaron with striking artwork by Jorge Molina, this issue serves as a bold tonal pivot, expanding the narrative beyond the Rebellion and delving into the Empire’s most brutal enforcers.

Led by the ruthless Sergeant Kreel, a lightsaber-wielding stormtrooper introduced in earlier issues, Task Force 99 is a specialised unit with a deadly reputation. Each member of the squad brings unique skills to the battlefield, and this issue gives readers an explosive introduction to their dynamic, tactics, and internal hierarchy. It's a rare opportunity to see the Star Wars galaxy from the perspective of the Empire's most efficient and feared soldiers.

The storytelling is sharp, energetic, and layered with tension, as Jason Aaron once again expands the scope of the series without losing touch with its emotional core. Jorge Molina’s artwork brings Scar Squadron vividly to life, with kinetic action sequences and detailed character designs that differentiate each trooper, making them feel more like individuals than faceless enforcers.

This standalone issue sets the stage for conflicts to come, as Scar Squadron’s path inevitably intersects with that of the Rebel heroes. It's essential reading for anyone looking to explore the morally complex and often brutal machinery of the Galactic Empire beyond the usual officers and admirals.

Star Wars #21 – Vol. 2 – 2016 is a standout issue in the Marvel run—offering intense action, new characters, and a fresh perspective from within the Empire’s ranks. A must-have for readers looking to complete the story from both sides of the conflict.
