Warning : SPOILERS forStar Wars : Age of Rebellion Special
TheStar Warssaga has drop some really tragic and dim import on its fibre , but they ’ve saved one of the mere - and most devastatingly inexorable - for a furore favorite Cuban sandwich of the Rebel Alliance .
The averageStar Warsfan may not instantly recognizethe Rebel pilotJek Porkins , one of Luke Skywalker ’s wingmen in the Battle of Yavin . But if moving picture looker believe that Porkins ’ fib only turned downhearted when he was shot down above the Death Star , the latest glimpse into his life may suggest he was more than ready to be vaporized . TheStar Warsmovies may gloss over the horror of the Rebel / Empire conflict , but previous Porkins got one thrown into his face – literally . And it ’s a moment fan are n’t probable to block .
Being known as “ the braggart hombre who gets burn out up ” may not be the legacy Porkins had hoped for , but with just one succession inStar Wars : A New Hope , being remembered at all is a compliment . ThankfullyStar war : Age of Rebellion Specialgives fan another unforgettable Porkins present moment , infinitely darker than his death .
The poor report titled " Stolen Valor " begins by reminding fan that Porkins was a pestilent original , despite being well get it on for the mission that got him stamp out like a sitting duck’s egg . He was assigned to Red Squadron along with Luke , after all ( callsign Red 6 to Luke ’s Red 5 ) . And as Porkins blasts Imperial ship to pieces near Kashyyk , he does a cite to all of the Tierfon Rebels , and those who trained him to become one of the ill-famed Tierfon Yellow Aces – one of whom lose their helmet so that it could someday terminate up in Rey ’s Jakku collection .
The Rebel ’s expression really does say it all . How else are you suppose to respond when obliterating an foe trade , only to have a hologram of the original and his wife , nestling , and newborn baby coldly clatter into your windscreen ? We almost do n’t want to explain what the Aurebesh written on the holo read to , but we must:“Come Home . ”You have to hand it to writer / creative person Jon Adams , for alter how we see every destroyed Imperial target from now on .
It is n’t likely thatthe future Star Wars movies being plannedwill explore the conflict between armies as nakedly as even this individual scene in “ Stolen Valor , ” since audiences would be just as bummed out as Porkins . But it ’s nice to see the human cost , and the menage burst every time a Jedi or Sith decides it ’s time to take their revenge on a galactic scurf .
Star Wars : Age of Rebellion Specialis uncommitted now fromMarvel Comics .
