Star Wars #5 – 2013, published by Dark Horse Comics, delivers another gripping chapter in the celebrated run by Brian Wood, continuing to explore the fragile state of the Rebel Alliance in the immediate aftermath of the Death Star's destruction. With treachery lurking close to home and the Empire tightening its grip, the Rebels must navigate both external threats and internal uncertainty.

Princess Leia, commanding her elite squadron of stealth X-Wing pilots, steps deeper into her investigation to uncover the identity of the traitor feeding intelligence to the Empire. The mission grows more dangerous as suspicions deepen and trust becomes a scarce resource. Leia’s leadership is put under pressure—not only by the enemy but also by the very allies she is trying to protect.

Elsewhere, Luke Skywalker continues to question his role within the Rebellion and the meaning of the Force. His path is still unclear, but the weight of expectation presses heavily upon him. Han Solo and Chewbacca operate in their usual roguish manner, threading the line between heroism and chaos as they take on covert tasks critical to the Rebels' survival.

Brian Wood’s storytelling brings a strong sense of urgency and intelligence to this issue. It’s not just a tale of starships and blasters, but of political unease, moral ambiguity, and character evolution. The artwork by Carlos D’Anda remains sharp and dynamic, capturing expressive character moments alongside dramatic dogfights and shadowy intrigue. His designs are faithful to the film aesthetic while providing the artistic freedom to explore more grounded and darker tones.

This issue builds the foundation for larger betrayals and greater consequences. It is Star Wars at its most human—strategic, personal, and tense.
