Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This is the second volume of Star Wars newspaper strips from the early 1980s reformatted for the comic book page. The stories, which take place between the end of Star Wars, the movie, and the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, feel natural instead of forced like so many of the other Star Wars spin-off books. After the events in the previous volume, Luke, Han, and Leia find their rebel base under attack. And so the search for a new home base begins.

My son borrowed the first volume from the library. Turned out it was continued in vol 2. The library didn't have it and so my son bugged me until we got it. He couldn't put it down. I was glad to see him excited about a book and now he is taking care of it as a collector.

The Star Wars comic strip never ran in my hometown paper so I rarely got to see it. I was spurred to get this collection by a recent magazine article, and it was well worth it because these are very enjoyable Star Wars tales. Putting aside any questions of how these stories might fit into "the cannon", the Star Wars geek in me quite enjoyed the depiction of how the rebels identified Hoth as their new base planet as well as an early meeting with Admiral Ackbar. More impressive, though, was a story in which Darth Vader engages an actor to impersonate Obi-Wan Kenobi, with unexpected results. Star Wars spin-offs are a hit and miss proposition, but this book definitely falls into the former category.

My 6 year old son and i read this before bed every night ... sharing my love for all things Star Wars it's a great way to share the expanded universe with him. Not as tight a story or as great as graphics as the newer comics, it still is an enjoyable read.
