Star Wars: Doctor Aphra: Remastered Review

Finished reading Star Wars: Doctor Aphra: Remastered, writers Kieron Gillen and Si Spurrier continue the series as Doctor Aphra finds herself having to work for the droid Triple-Zero. The book opens with Doctor Aphra on a job for Triple-Zero where she is the getaway driver for an attack on an Imperial outpost where the crosses paths with Imperial office Magna Tolvan once again who has been demoted since she last saw Aphra. After completing the mission for Triple-Zero Aphra is sent on a new mission to retrieve some of Triple-Zero's old and original memories along with a group that's been brought together by Triple-Zero for the mission that Aphra has been put in charge of. Meanwhile Tolvan finds herself facing a firing squad before news of the death of her mentor Inspector Thanoth which leads to her being promoted to being one of the Empire's newest Inspector with her first plan being that of trying to find Aphra as the two soon come face to face once again. Overall this was a great book as it buts the book's main character in a new direction as the dynamic between her and the droids Triple-Zero and Beetee has been turned on its head along with her potential relationship with Tolvan allows for some amazing character development for Aphra while how her relationships are effecting her within the mission and on a personal level which leads to some great interactions. The book also has a great amount of comedic moments throughout the book thanks to some of the interactions between characters to a few situations the characters find themselves especially with the inclusion of the Tookas that Aphra cloned. The art by Emilio Laiso is great as it puts a lot of focus into the the way the characters emote which fits extremely well with the tone and aesthetic of the book along with the action scenes that are designed extremely well as well. 8/10.
