So I got sidetracked telling you guys about this AMAZING COMIC, but what is my point exactly? First of all, look at how dynamic this story is! The characters are never static, teams and adversaries keep shifting, keeping it interesting and scalating the tension greatly. What's next? Who knows! - ThreadSky

And second, the status quo has actually shifted. Vader has defeated one of the enemies he was dealing with in his own comic and lost one of his allies, while the rebels have someone with information about Vader under their thumb now. It makes you ask what's next but it's not a big cheap cliffhanger.

I remember reading this crossover. At first I was annoyed, because it meant going back and reading Darth Vader's comic, which I wan't super interested in, but when I started getting into the crossover itself... woah.
Not only a great and entertaining story, but a masterclass of comic book writing.

Jason Aaron and Kieron Giller should feel proud of how smart and creative they were with the medium without ever straying or breaking the conventions. None of it is for show, it's just a crossover that's being taken advantage of to the an insane degree and it's awe-inspiring to see. Bravo!

Mike Deodato and Salvador Larroca also deserve credit for their wonderful art, of course, and so does everyone involved in the comic, from colorist to letters to editors.
This is comic books, ladies and gentlemen. This is Star Wars.

In conclussion, I know there is a lot of discourse about Disney!Star Wars and how bad it is. Some of it agree with, some of it I don't. But we can't forget about stories like Vader Down, or Andor, or novels like Lost Stars or Rebel Rising or Padawan. There is good work being done in this Galaxy.

I'm not saying we shouldn't complain about the things we dislike or are badly done (Finn's character arc and drug dealer!Poe my beloathed), but never forget about the good stuff, the stuff that makes being a #StarWars fan great. It's out there, you just need to find it.
