Star Wars: Bloodline gives us our clearest view yet of the galaxy in the years before Episode 7, and delivers an entertaining tale of intrigue and adventure in the process. Set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, Bloodline is an unsubtle but satisfying story of Princess Leia's transformation from Republic Senator to Resistance leader before the rise of the First Order. Much of Star Wars: Bloodline is pure politics: clandestine meetings, senatorial speeches, and some cloak-and-dagger.
