Star Wars #23 took the series in a slightly sillier direction, as Han and Leia took a break from their latest Rebel mission to work through some serious sexual tension. This issue shifts the book back into darker territory, however, as Sergeant Kreel and his SCAR Troopers finally launch their attack against the Rebels. In the process, the series shifts from comedy mode to something more action and horror-driven. As always, it's nice to see that writer Jason Aaron can bring such a versatile approach to Star Wars.
Aaron and artist Jorge Molina basically take the Jaws approach with this issue - show as little of the enemy as possible and leave readers to imagine the carnage of battle. Kreel and his soldiers remain off page for much of this issue. Instead, the focus remains on Luke, Leia and the others as they slowly come to grips with the deadly enemy that lurks among them. It's a far more effective method of reintroducing the SCAR Troopers than simply jumping right into a firefight. It establishes them as a legitimate threat far above and beyond the usual breed of Imperial soldier. And by the time Luke and Kreel begin their rematch, the payoff is that much stronger.
