Rating: 4 [ Almost Perfect 4.5 Stars ]For Pod-Racing fans the planet of Malastare is a familiar venue as it appears as one of the sites in the video game. In this installment taking place after, "The Phantom Menace", and prior to, "The Attack Of The Clones", fans get the better part of two storylines. One half of the Jedi Council sets out for Malastare and most of the time the Lightsabers are lit and in use. The action is raised another notch when some familiar drivers from The Boonta Eve Race on Tatooine make command appearances.There is a great deal to enjoy in this collected series. This is one of the lengthier issues, and unlike some will not leave you feeling the story was thin or rushed. There is a sequence that shows a side to the training of an apprentice that I don't believe has been demonstrated to readers before. And inside the Jedi High Council Chamber the reader is exposed to the rituals that take place prior to a meeting, and relationships between council members that are new as well.
The artwork is key to any of the issues, and the skill of the artists is consistently extremely good, with some full-page illustrations that are excellent. The rendering of some of the characters faces is inconsistent which is not unusual but is something I have never understood. The cover would seem to be a place that would highlight the skills of the artist; in this case it does not. The four Jedi that appear on the cover appear as though they were pasted on a background. One Jedi Master has a Lightsaber that appears to be entering the side of his head, and all the Jedi weapons are ridiculously small. I don't know why the level of effort on the cover was so different from what is found inside, and with possibly one exception is substantially poorer than the individual covers that as always are featured at the book's end.
Over all this is still one of the better collections, and will appeal to those who are fans of this format.
