Lit Books Comics A/V One Sentence or Less -- ANDOR (SEASON 1)

Bib Fortuna masterminds a plot that gets him out of his brain walker and is ready to take over the galaxy, but sadly his reign will be cut short by some sort of Viper.

 

Treachery abounds when the reminants of Jabba's empire join forces with the imperials! (dunn dunn da)

 

Lugija wins, unsurprisingly.



I miss Plourr.

 

She has more hair on the cover than in the issue...

 

Despite what the cover wants you to think, Leia is not in this story -- the princess turns out to be the beer-swilling, face-punching redneck who's been in the squadron the whole run, allowing Stackpole to do a riff on the Anastasia story that's just as bald as the princess is.

 

Okay, I refuse to end this round after only one vote.

 

After a trip in the desert, the Rogues find out that their member who acts the least like a princess actually is a princess, so they travel to her world to deal with swamps, scheming aristocrats, swamps, a mind-controlled fake evil brother, swamps, a teenage dominatrix moffess, and swam---actually a civilized urban capital in uprising.

Is there a reason the thread title is always one book behind?

 

Ask Jello.

 

Tenel Ka finally gets her own comic...oh wait.

 

Thankfully, not this kind of warrior princess

 

Okay, now Havac wins.

 

Hot Human on Bothan action

 

The power of the Sith is great and malign . . . it can turn a lowly technician into a master of evil . . . it can give a Bothan a magic hand . . . it can mind-control an entire race . . . it can give Tycho bad dreams . . . it can hypnotize Wedge Antilles . . . it can kill off members of the squadron for the first time . . . it can even make Hobbie and Janson sleep with anthropomorphic dog-women.

 

In which Rogue Squadron's reputation of losing pilots is conclusively justified, as two of their pilots- the only two Stackpole ever kills that can be considered slightly above redshirt status- die not in some pedestrian dogfight, but in an incident involving Sith magic.

 

Ibtisam, Lujayne, and Riv Shiel would like a word with you.

 

Riv Shiel was totally a red shirt Or, at the very least, a tier three character whose importance to the narrative was dramatically overstated in his final moments and immediately following his death in an attempt to compensate for Stackpole not bothering to develop him. That final scene in The Bacta War has always, and forever will annoy the hell out of me.

I will give you Lujayne and Ibtisam, though. Had forgotten about those two. I do believe a similar case can be made for Lujayne, but I do give her something of a pass because she did have at least one poignant conversation with Corran.

 

Eh, Shiel is "slightly above redshirt status" -- he made it for four books, got to do a handful of things, had a backstory. He's not your typical "Guy introduced in the same work he dies in" Stackpole redshirt.

 

Riv Shiel was a redshirt who took four books to die. Stackpole made a half-hearted attempt to characterize him, but you could tell that he didn't really care. When he died, the only reaction I had was "That guy's still alive? The hell?"

 

Bothans? Yes. Tourists? No. Smoking hot? ...possibly.

 

HA

This was the first comic I read.

It had a crazy magic hand and someone got turned into a Bith and then they made a sucide run and killed the bad guy. Then everyone partied like it was the Forest moon of Endor and left with ghosts watching.
