The vastness of the Star Wars galaxy hosts an ever
unfolding mythology, filled with character-driven stories
of loss and tragedy, of heroism and redemption. Collected
here are ten such tales - thrilling adventures that traverse
and illuminate every era in the Star Wars mythos. From
the life-affirming lessons of the Force to the moral and emotional
fall-out that comes with giving oneself over to the ways of
the Sith, these exhilarating stories will change the way you
see that galaxy far, far away...
Volume
6
in the ongoing Star Wars: Tales collection delivers,
once again, a fine balance of stories from both sides of The
Force. Fans of this series won't be surprised to learn that
there's something here for everyone.
If
you are a Darth Maul fan then you'll love Marked, which
delves a little more into the head of everyone's favourite
bad guy whose a dab hand at face painting. If you are after
humour, then there are plenty of stories including the Fight
Club spoof Fett Club (which had Jar Jar in it!!!.
Thankfully Fett does to Binks what everyone, who isn't female
or under 12, has been praying for since he raised his stupid
head in Episode I), or The Real Life Star Wars Adventures
of Jeremy Barlow - which reprints the introductory pages
of the Star Wars: Tales comics in which Jeremy Barlow,
script editor for the series, interacts with characters from
the Star Wars universe. But, I think my personal favourite
has to be the touching
Wedge Antilles in Lucky, in which our old hero from
the original Star Wars trilogy gets to reflect on how
charmed a life he's led.
There
are more tales based around characters from the new trilogy
of movies than the original Star Wars films - which
may suits younger readers tastes, but had me yawning a bit.
Also, on balance, there are more serious tales. While these
are enjoyable, it's the comical ones that usually offer a
much more mature message (as paradoxical as that may sound).
Another
impressive collection. That will have Star Wars fans
running around air-lightsabering like there's no tomorrow...
Or is that just me that does that?
