4.0 out of 5 stars lots of fun, April 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Wars: Droids: Rebellion (Star Wars (Dark Horse)) (Paperback)

The droids comics, are often times irreverant and funny, and i like this. i give this book 4 stars because, it is a little 2 silly, for most tastes. but the story does fit into star wars contiunity so far, so it is a good read if you wanted to know more about what the droids were doing between episode 3?, and episode 4.

3.0 out of 5 stars The follow up to Kalarba Adventures, July 22, 2003

This review is from: Star Wars: Droids: Rebellion (Star Wars (Dark Horse)) (Paperback)

The is a review of the Dark horse TPB that collects issues 1 to 4 of Star Wars ' Droids ' Rebellion. Unlike its nearly 200 page predecessor, this is a 112 page TPB. I am reviewing ISBN 1569712247 published in Jan. 1997.

This comic is divided into 4 chapters and is a step down from The Kalarba Adventures in terms of quality of production. The paper and inking are good, but of lesser quality. The artwork is of comic strip style, but the inking is very good. The stories are fun but the lack of awesome light saber fights could not keep my sons interest. My youngest, a daughter, did like the stories. I give this 3 stars because there are few choices in the marketplace that combine a politically neutral story with pictures.

This review is from: Star Wars: Droids: Rebellion (Star Wars (Dark Horse)) (Paperback)

This is an incredibly fun romp through the Star Wars Universe from the viewpoint of C-3P0 and R2-D2 and other droids (as was originally intended anyway). Its very fun to see as the humans and aliens fade into the background bringing the mechanical beings to the forefront.

The art in this is beautiful: full of detail while keeping a slightly cartoony feel to emphasize the fun tone of the whole story. The comic writing matches equally well to bring you a story of the droids as you would never have imagined before.

C3-P0 as the charismatic leader of a revolution, reaching untold "delusions of grandeur" as he leads his fellow droids into battle! The "gonk" droid, tortured mercilessly by idiot humans, getting his eventual revenge. These and many others are great scenes that bring the world of the Droids of Star Wars into the light, onto the comic pages, and into our hearts.
