LISTEN AGENT TEREX. I’ve liked you a lot throughout these last two dozen issues of Poe Dameron. You’ve been a very good antagonist and delightfully evil when the occasion required it but this time you have gone TOO FAR.

PADMÉ AMIDALA NABERRIE’S GOWNS ARE INTERGALACTIC TREASURES AND HOW DARE YOU SPACE THEM LIKE THAT. HOW DARE.

*clears throat* Anyways. About the rest of the issue.

Actually you know what? Let’s just do bullet points for this thing.

• Terex has clearly lost it. Understandably so but lost it. Only a crazy man talks to Phasma like that.
• Lor San Tekka deserves better than what life is giving him.
• Jess Pava is an adorable nerd, pass it on.
• Still very much not invested in Karé/Snap, sorry.
• The close up shot on Leia’s ring is aces.
• No but seriously: Jess Pava is delightful and I need more of her.

Given that we know the events of The Force Awakens are rapidly approaching and the cliffhanger this issue ends on, I’m really unsure how Soule is planning to wrap this arc up but I’m definitely fascinated. It continues to be awesome to see more of the Resistance and how they tangled with the First Order. I have next to no idea how this all going to go but I sure am enjoying the ride.
