Breakdown

Picking up 19 years before a New Hope, so this series will act as a bridge between the prequels and the original trilogy.

Story

I must say I was surprised by this story totally caught off guard that it added so much depth to elements of story brought up in the prequels.  The story can be very fleshed out more than in the movies.

Artwork

Nicely done, in an painted water color style.
