Thirty-six years before Jango Fett's death, on the planet
Concord Dawn, the mercenary group known as the Mandalorians
are split by a deadly internecine conflict. Some follow Vizsla,
who believes they should conquer the galaxy, other Jaster
Mereel, a reformed murder and ex-leader who believes the Mandalorians
are simply soldiers. When the child Jango Fett's family are
caught in the crossfire, he is propelled into a deadly conflict
- and there's no turning back...
Open
Seasons is
an interesting Star Wars spin-off collection. Excellent
quality reproduction - nice glossy cover and full colour glossy
pages throughout.
However,
this could be a graphic novel about anyone. The fact they
have tied it into Jango Fett is a happy coincidence. There
is plenty of back story - the book opens with Jango's childhood
and then moves on to his association with Dooku. But that
is really all there is to tie this into the Star Wars
universe.
That
said, if you thought Jango was a cool character in Attack
of the Clones then you will no doubt love this collection.
Personally I still think that Boba is an infinitely more impressive
character (or at least he was in Return of the Jedi)
and the recent fad for promoting Jango is simply trying to
recreate the appeal of that 1980s character.
I
know that this graphic novel is well presented. I just don't
understand why Jango warrants his own graphic novel - especially
when the events told do not seem all that special.
Average
stuff at best.
