    I thought it was cheesy(well, cheesier then star wars usually is) and lame.

    Also put me down as cringing when I saw this lameness. It would be the low moment in Marvel's Star Wars series to me. And the most awesome scene by far was when the Alliance officials are all fretting over Luke being captured on Nar Shadda and saying even if they were willing to risk a rescue mission who would be crazy enough to do it. Followed by the beautiful reveal page on the other side with Chewbacca roaring with hand raised.

    The scene made me really wish this wasn't canon. It was completely lame and devalued lightsabers.

    Point of order: technically, Han used a lightsaber in The Empire Strikes Back. In fact, to my knowledge, Han was the only non-Force user to use a lightsaber in all six films.

    Edit: Oh, and Grievous.

    This is exactly the sort of thing this series needed. I love the serious moments and the philosophies in Star Wars, but sometimes you need fun for the sake of having fun.

    How exactly does it devalue lightsabers? It's not like they were skillfully using them, Han and Chewie were basically just swinging wildly at unarmed Stormtroopers.

    Probably won't be the last time we've seen a non-Jedi use a lightsaber...

    In a pinch, it's a cool moment. I wouldn't want them wielding lightsabers on a regular basis, though, or with any notable skill beyond swing-and-pray.

    neat. This is why an animated series based on the original cast needed to have been done, years ago.

    Looks like I haven't missed anything since dropping this title. Dark Horse did Star Wars better. The new Marvel series was a disappointment.

    "I'd settle for a good blaster" is such a Han thing to say.

    So I assume you're one of these people who think Finn is a red herring and not actually Force-sensitive ? If that was just the trailer, I'd say you could be right, but he's wielding a saber right there on the poster, so ... I highly doubt it.
