Summary of The Best Blades (Star Wars: Clone Wars, Vol. 5)
The darkest days of the Clone Wars have arrived, when even victories are cause for abiding sorrow; when the hopes for a brighter future are lost in the turmoil of a divided galaxy; and when friendships are tools of convenience and the reason for betrayals. From political intrigue within the Senate to bloody battlefields on exotic worlds, the war has left its mark on the bystanders as well as the combatants, and the events in this wide-ranging volume reveal the extent of the damage. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker battle for survival, Senator Bail Organa struggles to preserve freedom within the Republic, and Master Yoda strives to prevent an old friend from plunging a system into war in four exciting stories from the Clone Wars!Volume 5, The Best Blades, is one of the best installments of the Clone Wars graphic novel series. The action takes place on multiple fronts. Senator Bail Organa tries to keep Supreme Chancellor Palpatine from acquiring still more power, while on Merson, a self-described "ordinary Jedi," Ron-Har Kim from Naboo, discovers the folly of having entered into a trust with Palpatine. On the more positive side for the Republic, a hero thought lost makes a return in "Hate and Fear," which also reveals the back story of the vicious Asajj Ventress. But in the title story, Yoda's trip to Thustra severely tests his resolve for nonviolent resolution and his belief that "the best blades are kept in their sheaths." The dynamic stories originally appeared in Star Wars Republic issues 61, 64, 60, and 62 and in Star Wars: Jedi--Yoda and were written by John Ostrander, Haden Blackman, and Jeremy Barlow, and illustrated by Brandon Badeaux, Armando Durruthy, Tomas Giorello, HOON, Ramiro Montanez, and Stacy Michalcewicz. --David Horiuchi
