Summary: Interesting SW history, but hard to like
Review: 'Golden Age of the Sith', as the other Tales of the Jedi books, is a bit of a hard sell for fans and non fans. Fans of Star Wars will buy this book to complete their collections, and just might enjoy it for it's historic tale set in the far past of the Star Wars continuity. However, the tale is so bizarre that it bears almost no resemblance to the current Star Wars universe. For some it might be a drawing point, but I think others will be turned off by this. Non fans will turn away, as the story isn't particularly intriguing and the art is sub-par. The rest of the 'Tales of the jedi' stories are much better.

Summary: CONSPIRACYS......DEATH..............ACTION ITS GOT IT ALL!
Review: GOLDEN AGE OF SITH WAS VERY INTERESTING AND EXITING IT DOESNT REALLY STAR GAV AND JORI DARAGON BUT STARS NAGA SADOW AS HE CHEATS HIS WAY TO BEING THE DARK LORD OF SITH. IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE THIS A 100

Summary: Fair Book
Review: Golden Age of the Sith is not the best Star Wars comic I have read. I recomend it to any Star Wars fan who wants to learn more about the Sith.

Summary: Hardly the best of Star Wars
Review: I found this to be a mixed package. Once again, I state that I've never been a Kevin J. Anderson fan. His earlier novels and comics were pretty good, but after his first few the quality virtually vanished.The story of Gav and Jori is a bit of a bore, and even though you're supposed to feel sympathetic toward these two, I just didn't feel it. The Sith, meanwhile, turn out to be a bunch of squabling fools. The only character who is really worth a dime is Naga Shadow. The art by Carrasco was good, though. His art style is well-fitted for the ancient 'Tales of the Jedi' series. (Any attempts to transplant him into 'modern' Star Wars, though, don't prove very fortunate, as 'Leviathan' proved.) The Sith architecture and garb is well-done, with beautiful vistas and the Egyptian-style tombs and architecture. Even the warships have a certain flair to them. Overall, the art's about as good as the story is lackluster. Insight into the ancient Sith is unfortunately little. Flip through it, take a look at the nice, old-style art, and then I reccomend putting it back on the shelf.

Summary: A Disappointment
Review: I purchased and read this book today and was rather diappointed. It lacked the action and plot of the other books in the series. I chose this one over another in the series(not enough money to buy both) and if I had to do it again, I'd buy the other. The plot was weak as there were only two fight scenes. The poor artistry left you wondering where you were supposed to be reading on the page. The characters lacked development and the ones that they did develop, well, they turned out so horribly that they shouldn't have bothered. The main redeeming factors in this book are the few places where something important happens. The primary important incident is a brother and sister stumbling across the Sith Empire and reestablishing connections, and war, between the Sith and Republic. It's interesting to get a peek at the Sith Empire and see how their social structure is set up and how Naga Sadow came to power. If you want a good read though, try the Sith War or another title in the series. This one isn't worth the money.

Summary: Confusing start for the Old Republic Jedi
Review: On the SW time line this is the first of the OLD REPUBLIC ERA stories released Aug 1997. Written by Kevin j Anderson, author of the JEDI ACADEMY TRILOGY (1994), KJA is one of the more important writers in the SW universe, or at least he was. He wrote the young jedi series, and those kids are now the heart of the jedi in the NJO series of books. He also wrote the Essential chronology with Daniel Wallace released in 2000. These old republic are comics have been criticized as almost unrecognizable from the jedi that luke is training.
It is not my job to defend KJA and his story, but times were different. What I can't explain away is the poor editing. All the ORE comics are confusing as heck. Most of them have no importance to the Skywalker era. The art work that gets a C grade, but Darkhorse has made tremendous strides in later comics. Comics produced in 2002 and 2003 have stunning artwork! I'll give this comic a 3 star review for starting things off.
