My only real complaint is that it's relying HEAVILY on cameos from the movies. Boba Fett, Jabba, Mon Mothma, etc. Three issues in, and they've yet to introduce a single new, original character?? Come on. Star Wars often feels very, very small because there's this sense that there's like 10 people responsible for all the major events in the galaxy. The comics just perpetuate that feeling. Obviously that could (and hopefully will) change going forward. But for now, it's a bit like "The Force Awakens" -- well-executed, competent, but overly familiar.

The Leia one-off is meh, some good ideas with the character but I felt like it was obviously never intended to be its own thing. Which is really a shame, as Leia is a great character.
I enjoyed the main storyline Joebot references for a while, but I felt like it went off the rails in the second trade. I'll have to give it another look.

Introduced a few new characters, many of whom are at least interesting, and one of whom is reminiscent of the best droid in all of Star Wars, HK-47. I am looking forward to another character's spinoff series.

I just finished the second trade, and I actually liked it better than the first one! They get into some new characters (like the Hutt who collects old Jedi stuff) and new locations. I liked the standalone story of what Ben was up to during his exile. It feels like they're pushing into some new directions, which I liked. And the idea of Vader trying to piece together the clues to figure out Luke's identity is pretty interesting.
I started the "Vader" series, which is great so far. Lots of political intrigue to go along with Vader's general badassery.
