Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Adult/High School-Remaining faithful to the themes and sensibilities of classic Star Wars, this episode pits good against evil in the persons of a Luke so young that he is not in full possession of the discipline he needs to effect the ends he believes to be right and Darth Vader's forces of trickery and destruction. Princess Leia is kidnapped and Luke is desperate to find the truth of her fate, but Artoo has been put out of commission and that, too, requires more focused attention than the young hero can muster. He conflicts with Han over the proper approach to resolving these emotional and ethical issues but, eventually, learns to gain control of himself before taking on the dark forces. The beautiful coloring of these action-packed panels gives a cinematic fullness to the page, and the pacing carries the story forward with smooth speed. This is an excellent addition to science-fiction collections, as well as to graphic novel offerings.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book, with a great story.,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A New Hope (Star Wars: Infinities) (Paperback)
This comic-novel tells a What-If story. What if Luke Skywalker's torpedoes had detonated short of their target, leaving the Deathstar intact? With the rebellion crushed, the Emperor has new schemes under way, and Leia Organa is part of them. While Luke trains with Yoda, the Emperor refashions Leia into the perfect tool, and now it is up to Luke, Han, Chewie, Threepio and Yoda to set the universe right.This is a great book, with a great story. Honestly, from the cover, I expected a dark tale that ground the original characterizations into hamburger. Instead, this story takes the exact same characters as the original Star Wars movie, and moved them through a new set perils. Each character acted the way you would expect, giving the story a real sense of continuity with the movie. Further, I found the story to be quite interested, and was held reading until the very end. This is a great Star Wars book, excellently illustrated, that I highly recommend to all readers!

Lots of Fun,
By "fletz" (Somerset, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A New Hope (Star Wars: Infinities) (Paperback)
I got this comic book, read in fifteen minutes and really found it a fun way to look at what could've happened in the SW universe. I am looking forward the TESB Infinities (and maybe they could do one for TPM - maybe kill off Binks!)

This review is from: A New Hope (Star Wars: Infinities) (Paperback)
The art work is decent, the story line is plausable, and the characters are true to almost form. I only wish this could have been a longer series, say four books to a movie instead of one. Ohter than that, I'm lookig foward to the next installment, even if it is too short.
