I have been waiting for Redemption to com After writing The Sith War, Kevin J.
Up until Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi came out, along with the tie-in novel Into the Void, Golden Age of the Sith was the earliest story to take place in the Star Wars timeline. The first of these two arcs was Golden Age of the Sith, taking place 5,000 years before Luke Skywalker was born and 1,000 years before the time of Ulic Qel-Droma. Anderson wrote two prequel story arcs for the Tales of the Jedi Comic book series. So when everything is wrapped with (kind of) a pretty pink bow at the end, I couldn’t have been even less surprised.Īfter writing The Sith War, Kevin J.
While there are definitely some cool parts, by and large its merely more of the same sans a much needed helping of charm and an overwhelmingly large dose of faux history. Somewhat predictably yet, no entirely unenjoyably – desperate measures toward lucre bring them toward Sith space with the most random of hyperspace coordinates chosen.įrom here on out, the tale devolves into its irritatingly simplistic, inertial morality with heaping helpings of comic book muck.
Their penury can only worsen as their final asset the StarBreaker 12 is taken in by a competitor and drastic measures are to be taken. The progeny of soon to be murdered semi-altruistic interstellar merchants who just happened to be in the wrong laser-blasting environ at the wrong time. We’ve got our protagonists: Gav and Jori Daragon. Yet, for all the pleasant eye-candy no sleight against the eyes can cover a multitude of sins in the narrative department. Firmly binding the universe of Star Wars with an unmistakably Ancient Egyptian veneer, great choices were made to bind what we know, with the new that will be presented. The details are strong enough to keep your attention and stronger still to reward a more investigative assessment of a lingering eye or two. On prima facie, these visual choices are stupendous. Evil tale with merely a different panoply of cosmetic choices. With little room for complexity let alone nuance – Golden Age of the Sith is merely another good ol’ fashioned Good Vs. As much as I enjoyed them in my youth – upon a sequential read, Golden Age of the Sith is even more evidently riddled with all the intrinsic flaws of the Star Wars universe no matter how positive any of its own personal positives may be.

Hardcore Star Wars fans and Graphic Novel buffs, you cannot go wrong here! I even recognized at least one name found in the Lost Tribe of the Sith Stories. I thought the story and the artwork were great! I was drawn in after a few pages and now find myself comfortable with this time period in the overall storyline. While there will be familiar themes and characters, there may be events or plot points that don't mesh with the universe of the movies. For those who are unaware, the Legends timeline are the stories that were declared unconnected to the main storylines in the movies. This graphic novel was great! It is the earliest graphic novel in the Star Wars Legends timeline. Luckily, that was not the case this time. While there will be familiar themes and characte I always worry when I read a Star Wars story from long before the main storyline I have grown up with, it will be too different and I won't like it (and that has happened before).
