While the final issue of Shattered Empire is definitely fun to read -- who doesn’t want to see Shara Bey teaming up with Luke Skywalker on a secret mission? -- it also reinforces the core flaw of the mini-series: we never truly get to know Shara Bey, as she functions mostly as a means to see what Han, Luke and Leia are up to after Return of the Jedi. The stories themselves are light, quick adventures that remind you why you love the original trio so much, that’s for sure, but without Shara acting as a compelling, emotional core of the experience, it all feels a bit underwhelming.
Part of that comes from the mixed messaging of what Shattered Empire is supposed to be. Is it an epilogue to Return of the Jedi or a prequel to The Force Awakens? Is it an introduction to Poe Dameron’s parents or a glimpse at what the original trio are up to after the Battle of Endor? It’s all of these things and none of them, in a way, which hampers the reading experience.
