 Outstanding! June 8, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
As a fan of Star Wars I was not disappointed by this book. Without giving much away, it really captured the feel of Star Wars for me with high action, comedy, some drama, and the occasional serious overtones. It both entertained me and made me think a little. It has some interesting plot points which make you think and creates a mystery type feel to the book. I'd highly recommend this to anyone: casual fans and hardcore addicts will find plenty to enjoy here. (Also, if you've ever been disappointed with other Star Wars books which seem a little too serious or sad (Tales of the Jedi), this one does a good job of not being too sad while still being true to the 'realistic' (bad things happen sometimes) feel of Star Wars.
P.S. It collects issues 1-6 of the series.

It's nearly 4,000 years before the birth of Luke Skywalker. Zayne Carrick is a Jedi initiate with some minor abilities in the Force and a ton of bad luck. Stationed with a team of Jedi masters and four peers in training on a planet on the outskirts of a war-torn region of space, Zayne is expecting to fail when the other initiates are knighted into the Jedi order. But when he arrives at the ceremony, he finds his friends dead at the hands of their masters. He escapes before he too can be murdered, and he soon finds himself on the run along with a handful of fellow fugitives.
This is the first chapter of what looks to be a fascinating story by John Jackson Miller. Brian Ching and Travel Foreman provide bold, colorful art to tell the tale. Zayne is an interesting character who, like the future Luke, is forced by circumstances to rise to the occasion. The question is, will he seek justice -- or revenge?

I just recently started playing KOTOR again, and saw this book at my local comic shop and decided to pick it up. I got home that same evening and was going to browse through it while I waited for the game to load. Instead, I ended up reading it cover to cover and forgot all about the game! It's great! I became so totally immersed in the story that the next day, I went out and picked up issues 7-12. I recommend it even if you've never played the games.
It's a good side plot December 29, 2006

I played both KOTOR and KOTOR II and reading this comic reminds me of all the things that are familiar in the game. To me, this is similar to the comic book version of the Star Wars Episodes. What's more, it gives more depth to the story than the linear plot the game gives. this is like watching another game set in the same story play out. I love the games and i enjoy this comic.
 I expected more December 28, 2006

I bought the comics that make up this volume because I really loved the old Tales of the Jedi (Tales, Dark Lords, Sith War, etc) and the KOTOR video games that tie into this series.
It was kind of a dud. It wasn't horrible, but it didn't live up to the past comics in this era. It was really rather boring.
