Rating: - GREAT STORY
When you read this novel it will begin to give you a fuller story of Star Wars, its not as simple as Bad and Good.
Rating: - KOTOR
I played the KOTOR game and loved it, So when I heard they were making a comic book that was going to take place during the mandalorian wars I was very excited. This comic is different enough from the game to be a separate story, but still have that KOTOR feeling. I really enjoyed reading it and will probably start collecting the comics.

It seems no one is able to come up with a fresh angle on Star Wars.
Here we have a new series set four millennia prior to the Anakin/Luke saga, a wonderful opportunity to do something different, to try on some new clothes, to even do an extensive makeover. What we get is a rearrangement of the essential elements: a Jedi-centric story featuring a white teenage boy set in the midst of a galaxy-wide war populated with the same old species playing the same tired roles.

This story reads like a precuel to Lucas' Knights of the Old Republic video games. It is excellent. In it you can FEEL the rot in the Republic and the weakness and stupidity of the Jedi Order. The Jedi all come out as idealists. And all are in the wrong paths. Except for the young Jedi apprentices. It is as if as they grow all Jedi IN the Order become twisted.
Rating: - A Surprisingly Good Read
It's nearly 3,900 years before Episode IV. On the city-planet Taris, Jedi padawan Zayne Carrick is about as big a bumbler as one can get - in fact, he's so inept that he's become a running joke not only with his fellow padawan, but with their masters as well. However, the laughter's over once Zayne's classmates are found murdered on the night they are to be promoted to Jedi Knights - and Zayne is the prime suspect. What ensues is a chase through the many urban levels of Taris and the surrounding solar ... Read More
