Reactions and Reviews
The story lacks punch, and is only recommended for raving completists. [1]
Of COURSE I bought this as soon as I saw the cover. Did you even have to ask? I didn’t even blink at the shipping fee from the UK. A ridiculous cover + crossover = MINE! MINE MINE MINE MIIIIIINNNEEE!!!!
It’s just as ridiculous as it looks. 18 pages of tounge-in-cheek crossover with Servalan teaming up with the Empire while the Liberator crew rescues the Falcon. Vila of course finds a new drinking partner in Chewie. The plot is batshit, and it’s a pretty hefty fee for a skinny little short story. But totally worth it.
