Star wars gillen5/28/2023 Gillen, eschewing Aaron’s new-story-every-arc approach, set out to tell a continual narrative of the growth of the Alliance’s fleet and their worst defeat ever. Enter: Kieron Gillen, the man who would move the story from the height of Alliance power in Episode IV to their lowest period: one the run, hiding on Hoth in Episode V. Unfortunately, with the series stuck between Episodes IV and V, and a plethora of one-shots, mini-series, and even ongoing series set in the same time period, the stories were becoming a little stale. The flagship title desperately needed something – or someone – different to breathe new life into the series. A beleaguered Darth Vader tasks Queen Trios of Shu-Torun to come up with a plan to infiltrate the Alliance’s ranks and take them down from the inside…. Fresh from the destruction of the Death Star, the Alliance launches a massive offensive against the Empire, starting with Cymoon I and the Harbinger, all the way up to an assault on SCAR Squadron to rescue a captured C-3PO. How does the Rebellion go from the height of its offensive against the Empire to the lowest point of its existence? Kieron Gillen was tasked to follow up Jason Aaron’s run on the flagship Star Wars series to show us exactly that.
