Star Wars Adventures: The Weapon of A Jedi #1

Star Wars Adventures: The Weapon of A Jedi #1 comic reviewSet between the events of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, the first issue of the four-issue mini-series offers a solo mission for Luke. The series is an adaptation of the young adult novel and the first issue puts Luke on the surface of the planet of Devaron pulled by a calling in the Force he doesn’t quite understand after being shot down by Imperials.

The beginning of a larger story, the first issue really serves to set up the three remaining issues to come ending with Luke on the edge of the forbidden Eedit Temple. The issue also introduces us to a few characters, such as Farnay and Sarco Plank as locals who feel like they will have a larger part in the story as it unfolds.

Star Wars #13

Star Wars #13 comic reviewStar Wars #13 acts as a lead-in to Marvel’s upcoming arc which will crossover through their various titles including Darth Vader and Doctor Aphra.

It’s always interesting to see how artists choose to clothe Luke outside of established continuity, here in his end of Star Wars clothes sans jacket. The search takes them to Nar Shaddaa where someone under the name of Jango Fett has been making a reputation in the local arena.
