    It looks a bit like Coruscant meets the favelas.

    I wonder if it was on purpose for mere misdirection. I wouldn't think they would go that far to troll the fans...



    ...right?

    One never does know... ;)

    But seriously, I'm not convinced that it was a case of art misdirection. Maybe it looked that way since Luke was so far above the moon's surface and the buildings couldn't be seen from that high up. Or maybe in the NU, Nar Shaddaa is supposed to be the in-universe equivalent of Las Vegas, half city (or cities) of sin, half sprawling desert.

    I love the little slum neighborhoods on the side of the larger buildings. It adds to the whole run-down characteristic of the planet.

    Hope Han steps it up this issue he's the only character so far in this whole series who hasn't been himself. Except for arguing with Leia and having some good one liners the past few issues he's been a bit of a wuss IMO

    Yeah, I'm real worried about that too. If they don't start giving us some more background on her next issue and drag out revealing her history with Han, this series will get even more frustrating.

    Other than driving the walker during the cymoon mission (even then he made a mess of it)what exactly has Han done this series that can be considered heroic. So far it seems Luke and Leia are the ones kicking ass and taking names.........

    How about stepping up during the Cymoon mission and allowing his known association with Jabba to get them into the facility? Leia even calls that out specifically in issue #1 and thanks him for it, since it will directly result in him becoming known to the Empire as a Rebel and thus put him in greater danger.

    I doubt she'll even be around for that long. Unfortunately I don't think she is much more than a crazy ex-girlfriend with an exceptionally dangerous set of skills. Han and Leia will ditch her somehow and then we'll never hear of her again.
