![]() As per usual each includes basic data points, history, points of interest, and the like, as well as example NPCs and notable personages (more on those later). DoR features Alderaan, Atollon, Dathomir, Jedha, Lothal, and of all things the Death Star (which includes on entry on Scarif), in addition to an Other Worlds section collecting smaller entries on Rebels and Rogue One planets. The first actual chapter of the book features gazetteers in the style of the setting books like Suns of Fortune, Strongholds of Rebellion, and Nexus of Power, each dedicating several pages to each world. What made me more curious was that the book purported to draw heavily from both Rogue One and Star Wars: Rebels. With the last of the Career sourcebooks for each line either already out or on their way through the production process, it would seem like Era Sourcebooks could very well be the future of Star Wars Roleplaying outside of published adventures, a possibility that had me very curious about what the book would offer. It’s a new era in galactic history, and you can find what you need to play in it within the pages of Dawn of Rebellion, the newest Star Wars Roleplaying supplement from Fantasy Flight Games!ĭawn of Rebellion is the first of its kind, an ‘Era Sourcebook’ meant to be fully compatible with all three game lines already produced by FFG: Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, and Force and Destiny. A boy on Tatooine still has no idea what his future has in store. The Imperial Senate stands impotent, but certain members secretly resist. A group known as the Spectres still fights to free the planet Lothal. A space station with the power to kill worlds is still being constructed near Scarif. I was reminded of some of Al Williamson’s issues in Marvel’s very first Star Wars run beautifully detailed but with a much more sophisticated and modern coloring.The Empire reigns across the galaxy even as an alliance of resistance fighters and rebels begins to form to overthrow Imperial oppression. The overall effect helps sell the grittiness and worn feeling of life on a desert planet in the Outer Rim even as the rich color reminds us of the otherworldly nature of the universe it’s set in. ![]() ![]() Marc Laming is an exceptionally talented artist and each panel is really beautifully drawn and detailed and combined with absolutely excellent coloring from Neeraj Menon who superbly adds coloring and shading layers to Laming’s crisp inks. It is very much written as a western right down to Fett first appearing on his “Horse” as it were and several scenes remind me of the old spaghetti westerns like The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Paks writing is sharp and though he says nothing Pak’s scripting cleverly paints a picture of the kind of character Fett is and his code versus say his quarry and that’s the clever thing about this tale, it creates a slightly skewed perception of Fett as a character which sets you up for what happens on the last two pages of the story which remind us of exactly who Boba Fett is. ![]() Fett pursues a sly and deadly foe in the form of a former bounty hunter gone bad called Zingo Gabnit across the deserts of a plant called Carajam in the Outer Rim. ![]() Pak builds this tale around the infamous bounty hunter through Fett’s actions and the words of other characters as Fett does not utter a single line for the entire story until the last two pages. Terry and Rachel Dodson deliver a striking cover with the Boba Fett against a white background and have really done the great work on the covers for this series. It’s another one shot in the Age of Rebellion series and this time it’s all about the man in the Mandalorian mask. ![]()
