My favorite Star Wars comic series was the Empire series, which then segwayed into the equally great Rebellion series. We met some interesting new characters in that arc, rebel agent Wyl Tarson, the lovely f*** up Deena Shan (who eventually comes through), and of course the infamous "Tank," mentioned by Luke in ANH. As it turned out Tank was an up and coming imperial officer, who for all his doubts about the Empire's brutality and needless cruelty is convinced he's on the right side, though he somewhat redeems himself by saving Leia's life. We also got some interesting minor characters too, like Basso, the bald-headed guy from Raltir who despite his no-nonsense merciless nature towards the imperials is a staunch freedom fighter. Then there's Mouse, a Duros rebel who had a very minor part and sacrificed himself for his mission, but was actually a pretty amusing and funny guy while he lasted. Most interesting of these characters was "Able," a clone trooper who never got word that the Clone Wars ended, who after being attacked by the Empire was persuaded to join the rebels. None of these characters (cept the ones who died) got any closure, so I do hope they return someday...
