Marc Laming’s artwork in this issue is fantastic and really helps to embody the grittiness of the situation. As it is, it seems like this was another instance of Tarkin’s imagination – giving us readers another glimpse into his violent mind. This left me somewhat confused, and I had to search to see whether Tarkin was indeed cold-blooded enough to wipe out his home planet once he had left to join the empire. The story features a mix of flashbacks and dream sequences which serve to complicate the narrative, particularly the final stinger which appeared to be a combination of the both as Tarkin imagines his home planet to be wiped out by the Death Star. Writer Greg Pak references Tarkin’s tough upbringing on Eriadu, which was shown in the novel “ Tarkin”, and how his family’s fierce “do-or-die” coming-of-age ceremony left him with scars, both physically and mentally. Interwoven within the narrative of “ A New Hope”, this one-shot adventure provides some background on Peter Cushing’s merciless Grand Moff Tarkin as he attempts to discipline the staff of the Death Star. Chronology Placement: Set during “ A New Hope”
