Rating: Summary: little snipits of Star Wars Review: All the stories in this book are pure Star Wars. They range from the deadly serious: Extention, to the very funny: A D.I.M.B.S. (Death Star) is born. That last one is not for those who take their SW very seriously.
Rating: Summary: enjoyable read with my son Review: At 224 this is a large comic. Since Dark horse has had trouble producing comics with good binding I was concerned about this offering. The one I have is OK, but these were made in china, where the binding problems exist. The older ones made in Canada were OK.It was fun to read some of these with my son. For most people I think they will consider these to be 2 to 3 stars in quality, I'll round up to 3 since my son enjoyed them.
Rating: Summary: Something For Every Star Wars Fan! Review: Even the most jaded fan will love this collection! The stories range from poignant to absurd (but funny!), and the Darth Vader/Dark Woman tale by Ron Marz is required reading. A top-notch collection that every SW fan should have.
Rating: Summary: A great read for any Star Wars fan! Review: If anything, this first volume is even more entertaining than Volume 2. The spoofs are funny, the serious stories deep and interesting, and overall it stays true to the spirit of Star Wars. My favorite was probably the one detailing Darth Vader's conflict with the Dark Woman, but I could find something awesome about every story in this volume. This is a comic book, but it's well put together and durable, so it gets a definite five stars from me. Good for all ages.

Rating: Summary: 16 tales of struggle and intrigue Review: The first story Extinction, is almost worth the purchase price by itself. We Mara Jade, the Emperor, Vader and a tremendous, 15 page light saber fight. The second story takes us back to Qui-Gon and Obiwan shortly before QGs death. The pencils very in quality from 2 stars for some stories, to 3.5 for others. The inking varies from 2 stars to 4. None of the artwork is exceptional. The strength of the book is that there are stories that will interest you, and passable artwork. To bad that the fact that different artists were assembled into one book of stories din't produce a higher quality product due to the competition along! It didn't seem to. By the looks of it, some were trying to complete their work faster, not better. At 224 this is a large comic.

Rating: Summary: Very good Review: This graphic novel is a collection of some fifteen (if I counted correctly) stories set in the Star Wars universe. These stories range from the silly to the fascinating, while the artwork ranges from the simplistic to the sublime. My personal favorite was Incident at Horn Station, in which an unnamed Jedi frees a world from the grip of a murderous tyrant. Overall, I thought that this was very good book, one that I highly recommend to any Star Wars fan.
Rating: Summary: For Those Who Want Every Detail Review: This is the largest collection that I have ever seen from Dark Horse Comics. It brings together a very diverse group of storylines, and illustrators. The content is a bit uneven although the majority of the work is worthwhile for fans that want to know as much as they can about every character's background. Among dozens of other background bits, there is the tale of what incident got Jar Jar Binks expelled from his colony, and the opening story documents Vader as he stalks and kills a fairly well known Jedi. If you want to have everything in writing about the Star Wars Saga, then you will enjoy this collection, if you pass you will not have any gaping holes in your knowledge of characters and their back stories.
