Star Wars: Lando #3 opens with an injured Lobot being tended to by Lando Calrissian and the Ugnaught Korin Pers while the aliens Aleksin and Pavol fight the Imperial Royal Guards that damaged Lobot. Lobot is moved to a Bacta Tank and Lando and Korin come to the conclusion that the Imperialis is owned by the Emperor. Meanwhile, Chanath Cha boards the Scimitar, a vessel configured to track the Imperialis, at an Imperial facility. Back on the Imperialis, Lando and Korin equip themselves with blasters to help the alien pair, but when they arrive, the two guards have already been defeated. Korin removes the helmet from one of the guard to reveal the face is disfigured and Korin claims the guard has been corrupted. They open the door to the inner chamber of the starship and see a room with a pedestal holding a helmet surrounded by other artifacts mounted on the walls. Korin immediately recognizes the objects as being Sith and as Lando and Korin talk, the eyes on the helmet begin to glow red.
While light on plot, this issue again excels at dialogue. Charles Soule continues to demonstrate his understanding of Lando's personality and to define Korin Pers'. He also fleshes out Lobot's background, explaining that Lobot mind is constantly fighting with the implants for control. If I had one complaint about the story so far, Aleksin and Pavol do not speak and, unfortunately, they are merely defined by their fighting prowess making them one-dimensional characters.

An alternate cover by Mike Mayhew shows the bounty hunters from The Empire Strikes Back minus Boba Fett, peering at a wanted poster of Lando. This cover has nothing to do with the content of the story inside.
