Charting
the events between Star
Wars: Episode II and
III,
Defence
of Kamino
will help to fill Star
Wars
fans in on the action that takes place before the third movie
is released...
This
collection contains several short graphic which are set just
a few months after the events of genoisis, in Episode II.
When the Jedi learn of an impending attack on the clone production
plants on Kamino they rush to its defence.
This
is the basis for this collection of stories. During the events
that unfold, the Jedi are forced to see that in order to win
they must change who they are and what they do. Spying, leading
armies, switching allegiances are alien concepts to the noble
Jedi, but these are acts they must undertake in order to bring
peace to the galaxy.
The
republic is dying from within, due to corruption, and the
Jedi soon realise that even if they defeat the separatist
movement, the fighting will not end. Many have a choice to
make: stay loyal to the corrupt republic or join the separatists
to see if they can bring a new and honest peace to the galaxy.
But all the while they are unaware that they and the war are
being subtly manipulated by the Sith. For all their efforts,
trying to keep the republic alive, the Jedi do not realise
that the Clone Wars are the beginning of the end for the Republic
and the Jedi.
I'm
not a great fan of graphic novels and this title did little
to better my opinions. The stories are too short and they
feel rushed. Although the events are well tied in and the
characters are well reflected, it is a shame that the book
doesn't go deep enough into the stories or the reasons behind
them.
The
artwork is good, but that doesn't make up for what is a bad
graphic novel. This book is for die hard Star Wars fans only.
