Amazon Customer Reviews of this item: (Average Rating is 3.67/5.00)
Rating: 4 [ Good, though not the best ]While rather pricey, this collection of short stories is quite charming, and well worth the money, if you're a true die-hard fan, and/or are into comics in particular. I never have been, (into comics, that is) but this caught my eye one day at the last minute in the bookstore, so I picked it up just for the heck of it. And I have to say, that I enjoyed it quite a bit as a whole. Some of the spoofs were really silly, (as in, not worthy of Star Wars) but most everything else was great, the story detailing Padme's first boyfriend was sweet, and the one about Darth Vader and Threepio almost had me in tears. So, I'd recommend this one to anyone with a reasonable amount of EU experience, and a good sense of humor. Good for all ages.
Rating: 2 [ This particular graphic book is a good example of why this s ]
This is the second large collection of tales that has been put together for readers. It is not the equal of the first volume, which not only does not justify your time; it does not justify your money. There are a few pages of great graphics and one story that while badly told revealed a part of a main characters past few would have guessed at.The balance of the book is filled with parodies that are as pointless as stories as they are pathetically drawn. At its worst the graphics are reduced to geometric shapes characteristic of a young child. In the pursuit of revenue everything seems to have been deemed worthy for publication. This is unfair to all fans but especially to younger fans that are expected to come up with the nearly twenty dollars these books demand. I see more and more kids reading these on the floor of bookstores, and for those who do, they are giving as much attention as this volume is worth both in terms of entertainment and what it should cost.
Rating: 5 [ More creamy goodness! ]
Star Wars. Ever since I've had coherent thought, I've known Lucas' universe. These tales are a series of entertaining yarns that is worth buying just for the Pulp Fiction spoof. I'd advise casual fans to read something like "Heir to the Empire" by Timothy Zahn, but you hardcore Star Wars fans will get all the in-jokes and cross references in these stories. Check these out!
