The Boys cover the finale of Kevin J. Anderson's much loved Tales of the Jedi series of mini-series. At least it's much loved by Ryan and Jackson. Will Ulic finally get the hero turn he deserves? It's really sad watching people fall to the dark side, huh? Also will Leia ever be characterized correctly outside of the OT and the Thrawn books?
