The Ashes of Jedha (Various)


In Rogue One, the Empire destroyed the royal city on Jedha using the Death Star.  It didn't obliterate the entire planet- just blew a chunk out of it- but it was enough to render the world unstable and send it into a slow death.  In The Ashes of Jedha, A New Hope heroes Leia, Luke, and Han travel to the world to help its survivors and prevent the Empire from strip-mining the valuable resources left in it.  They'll be tested to their limit and encounter mysterious foes; can they prevail?

Meh.  I had high hopes for this one, but the story was confusing in places and rushed throughout.  One cool thing: you get a hint of how the Rebellion managed to acquire a fleet.  That's the only reason I'd read this.
