Book Reviews of Star Wars Omnibus: Tales of the Jedi Volume 1
Book Review: Slow start and mediocre art but the stories more than make up for it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a huge Star Wars fan and love the Knights of the Old Republic games. I recently finished KOTOR 2 for the first time and all the while I was playing it I was thinking of how I want to read the KOTOR comics and the Tales of the Jedi comics that take place before them. I picked up this omnibus and wasn't too excited about the art. I felt I was going to have to just get through it. I'm really not a fan of the art is this book, especially being such a big fan of the Republic and Legacy comics which have amazing art! To me Tales started off kind of slow. After about 45 pages though I found myself hooked and unable to put it down. I read through the book in about a week. Then I had to go and buy the second one which I'm about half way through now and it's even more engrossing. My point is, if you're not a fan of the art, just keep reading, the story is so good you'll overlook it and maybe even enjoy the style. If you're a fan of the Knights of the Old Republic video games, this is a great back story and has a similar feel.
Summary of Star Wars Omnibus: Tales of the Jedi Volume 1
Star Wars Omnibus: Tales of the Jedi, Volume 1 is a generous and entertaining book about the early years of the Star Wars universe, taking place 4000-5000 years before the movies. The first story, written by Kevin J. Anderson and drawn by a large team of artists, focuses on Jav and Jori Daragon, a brother-sister explorer team who find themselves in the middle of a deadly war between the Republic and the Sith Empire. The second major story, written by Tom Veitch with art by Janine Johnston and David Roach, tells the tale of Nomi Sunrider, who faces a life she never wanted after her Jedi husband is murdered. This Star Wars Omnibus, at 400 pages in full color (though slightly undersized), is excellent value and worth a look for any Star Wars fan. --David HoriuchiDiscover the earliest known stories of the Jedi and the Sith in this massive collection!
Five thousand years before Luke Skywalker's successful assault on the Death Star, the Sith Lord Marka Ragnos ruled the galaxy. That is, until his death ignited a battle for ascension that would spell the end for his empire and nearly the entire galaxy! It would be another thousand years before two young Jedi novices Ulic Qel-Droma and Nomi Sunrider would rise for the cause of justice, first in the case of a Jedi-killing Hutt, and then against a dark Jedi spirit threatening to engulf an entire planet!
Containing the Tales of the Jedi stories "The Golden Age of the Sith," "The Fall of the Sith Empire," and "Knights of the Old Republic" this humongous omnibus is the ultimate introduction to the ancient history of the Star Wars universe!
