At the beginning of Star
Wars: Return of the Jedi,
what would have happened if one tiny, insignificant event
had been altered? What if, when Jabba and Leia - disguised
as the bounty hunter Boushh - are negotiating over the price
of Chewbacca, Jabba had accidentally sent C3P0 flying? How
would Leia and Jabba have continued negotiations without an
interpreter, as C3P0 lay damaged? Would this small event really
have serious repercussions across the Star
Wars universe?...
The
Star
Wars: Infinities
range of graphic novels have been, on the whole, very interesting.
While the artwork has been questionable in parts (mainly poor
artistic interpretations being at fault) the stories have
always been engaging.
Sadly,
Return of the Jedi is the worst of the collection -
as well as being the poorest movie in the original trilogy.
The art work varies from good to poor (Senator Mon Mothma
looks more like the large alien creature from Close Encounters
of the Third Kind: The Special Edition.) It would have
been far less intrusive if they had decided to stick with
one visual style - either bold and crude interpretations of
our favourite characters, or good quality likenesses. The
mix of the two, which we are presented with, looks messy.
While
it will bring a smile to the face of serious Star Wars
fans, this collection is not really a must own book, and the
ending, to me at least, seemed a little lame.
