The Clone Wars have spread all across the galaxy, engulfing
every world and every Jedi, dragging the once-noble protectors
of the galaxy into murky and ambiguous conflicts. There are
traitors and double agents on both sides, but their positions
are becoming increasingly unstable, and the Jedi's greatest
challenge is to remain true to the ways of the Force...
Volume
6 of the Star
Wars Clone Wars
series of graphic novels never manages to reach the level
of quality that it attained with Volume
4. It could be the fact that it's difficult to
see where any of the artists have made any of the characters
theirs - instead insisting on following a level of precision
usually reserved for authorised movie adaptations. It was
almost as though the artists were not allowed any free reign,
as though George Lucas was watching over their shoulders the
whole time. It could also be the fact that this collection
is bereft of humour. But one thing is certain - it's about
as dry as you can get.
Another
problem I had was this is really only going to appeal to the
die-hard fans. You'll need to know the original Clone Wars
characters a little before you even open the pages - otherwise
you'll spend a hell of a lot of your time rereading pages
to work out what is going on. If you've followed this series
from the start you'll have no problem, but dive in here and
you'll feel a little out of your depth.
Sadly,
the tales told here were just too dull and uninspiring for
a mere avid Star Wars fan like me - you'll have to
live and breath Star Wars before you'll find any satisfaction
here.
