Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The New Republic #4

A brooding, atmospheric cover by Mathieu Lauffray sets the tone for this 2018 Marvel collection, depicting Luke Skywalker — lightsaber blazing upward — with the imposing visage of Grand Admiral Thrawn looming like a specter in the blue-tinged sky above, Imperial Star Destroyers and TIE fighters massing in the distance. The moody palette and cinematic composition capture the tension of the New Republic era perfectly. At nearly 400 pages of Legends material, this is a handsome volume for anyone eager to revisit that corner of the Star Wars expanded universe.
