That being the case, I wish they had used the wimmelpicture instead and ideally as an XXL print at that. Though graphical in nature and playing with the idea of a brick mosaic, it just doesn’t look good. The backside poster doesn’t fare much better. They could at least have properly layered and color corrected the “ghost” overlay instead of just reducing opacity. Even I could probably bash this together in five minutes. Nothing wrong with that and people do it all the time, but you can literally see that exactly zero effort went into it. One is cobbled together from existing stock photos. I’m just gonna say it: The posters are both terrible. The second comic takes a play at the training scenes with Rey and BB-8 at the beginning of The Rise of Skywalker and is equally acceptable, not just because it serves as the tie-in for the extra, which of course are our two protagonists in minifigure format. It’s also visually very pleasing with lots of nice blue sky shades, but at the same time the panels not looking empty as I criticized for one of the Jurassic World magazines not so long ago. It’s still a bit weird and not adhering to the main canon very well, but still way better than those weird Vader stories. Jumping right in with the comics, we get a quite epic aerial battle between some TIE Fighters and X-Wings in the main one and the Millenium Falcon is involved, too. At least the various LEGO magazines arrive on schedule, so let’s see what the latest edition of the Star Wars version has in store. The summer heat has waned off a bit this week and things have become a bit more enjoyable, despite me still feeling like a lazy slob a lot of the time.
