Much has been said about the plot similarities between The Force Awakens and the original Star Wars. But one element that really set the new film apart from its Original Trilogy predecessors was its stronger, more overt sense of humor. From the moment Poe Dameron greeted Kylo Ren with, "So, who talks first? You talk first?", it was clear that Lucasfilm is taking a page from the Marvel Cinematic Universe playbook. And if Star Wars #23 is any indication, we may start seeing more humor in the comics, as well. It's a good thing humor is one of writer Jason Aaron's specialties.
As poorly executed as the cover is, it actually is a fair representation of the events within. Aaron and artist Jorge Molina pick up with Han, Luke, Leia and the rest as they try to get their pilfered Star Destroyer back into working shape and carry out their larger mission. The stakes are certainly high, with the threat of Sergeant Kreel and his SCAR Troopers looming large. Yet Aaron and Molina balance out that danger with a healthy dose of humor. Much of the humor comes from the perpetually bickering Han and Leia, who literally race each other across the ship to see who deserves to be captain. I can see where some readers might find this material too silly for its own good, but Aaron isn't simply being goofy for the sake of it. There's only so much he can do to explore their blossoming (but unacknowledged) romance given the timeline of this series. Aaron writes Han and Leia as immature schoolchildren because behaving that way allows them to ignore their mutual attraction.
