Publisher summary:
New Republic on the brink of war! LUKE, HAN and VALANCE face off against a swarm of Clone War-era threats! PRINCESS LEIA plays the only card she has left against the mounting threat! RYNN ZENAT discovers a clue that sheds light on the struggles of the mysterious NAGAI!

Why it matters: The Fenril Consortium threatens to drag the New Republic into chaos. The heroes of the Galactic Civil War need to chart a path through the conflict in order for their newfound government to survive.
Key moments:
Sgt Kreel at Home: Luke sports a clone trooper armor set, along with a blaster and his green lightsaber. It feels a bit like a throwback to the Jason Aaron era of Star Wars comics.
Hope for Tomorrow: Leia and Mon struggle to handle the threat of the Fenril Fleet, but not all hope is lost. Leia has been working behind the scenes, and hints at a plan of attack already in motion.
Nagai Uprising: After the battle dies down, Marntiv tells the heroes of the Nagai resistance on Kaltrais, ready to push back against Reyna Oskure and the Zantarrk gang.

The big picture: Star Wars #6 continues down a similar path we’ve been seeing in the run thus far. If you like Segura’s run, this will be right up your alley. However, if it has not been appealing, I don’t see this issue changing too much either. Although, it did buck my expectations a bit. I was ready for the issue to be 90% fighting battle droids, but that really was not the case. I think this issue really made the greater picture of all the factions and relationships more clear. Personally, I think I am starting to understand the plot Segura is crafting significantly more at this point. I think there is a decent chance things start to turn a corner in the next issue or two, but that remains to be seen.
Our rating: Good
What’s next: Star Wars (2025) returns on November 12th, 2025 as the Nagai uprising takes full force in issue #7.
