If the recent "Vader Down" crossover served no other purpose than to pave the way for the "Rebel Jail" storyline, it was worth it. Writer Jason Aaron is in top form with his fourth major Star Wars tale, combining a gritty prison break tale with the lighthearted misadventures of a cocky smuggler and his rising star of a partner. It's a combination that works very well when it comes to channeling that classic Star Wars flavor while simultaneously pushing the franchise in new and unexpected directions.
If this issue simply focused on Leia and Sana struggling to quell a prison uprising and fight off invaders, that would probably be enough. The reluctant bond between Leia and Sana is certainly entertaining, and the addition of Dr. Aphra to the mix only further enhances the characterization. But Aaron has weightier concerns with this arc. This issue explores the all but impossible battle to maintain principles in times of war. Can the Rebel Alliance afford to show mercy to its worst enemies? Will it lose the moral high ground if it executes said criminals? These are questions Leia wrestles with as she encounters an intriguing and very mysterious new villain with apparent personal ties to the Princess.
