What happened with the artwork in this adaptation?? It looks like they took some of the ugliest stills from the film, put them through a Photoshop comic filter, and added speech balloons. It's really bad.
Also bad is the way this graphic novel condenses the film. It's impossible to tell what happens to General Grievous, Yoda, and Anakin at key moments if you don't know the movie (which of course anyone who reads this book will, but that's no excuse for poor storytelling here). This is a disappointing adaptation that adds almost nothing of value to one of the most disappointing Star Wars films. Nothing to recommend here.

They're alright. It's cool to see the movies turned into a graphic novel, but you can read it in less than an hour, so it ends up being choppier than the movie. Cool art though.

Found it at my local public library. In the interest of full disclosure, I will say that while I am a Star Wars fan, I am not too thrilled with the new films.
Anyhow, see my short note on the book:

ricksilva's review against another edition

This is the second volume of Dark Horse Comics' adaptation of Episode III. My son brought home the first volume in this series from his school library a few weeks back.
This issue focuses heavily on the political intrigue within the Republic and the conflicts that are beginning to tear Anakin Skywalker's loyalties apart. The dialogue builds on this idea nicely, with all of the forces around Anakin manipulating him, and the persistent voice of Chancellor Palpatine sowing doubts about the nature of the Jedi Order in Anakin's mind.
When the book finally returns to some action scenes at the end, the battle between General Grievous and Obi Wan Kenobi feels rushed although the art does make some good use of larger panels, especially in the opening moments of the fight. The climax of the battle could have been given more space and more attention, though, and a cut back to Palpatine and Anakin hurts the impact of the scene.
The artwork is generally faithful to the film, and this issue contained some of what I thought were the stronger script elements. Adapting a film into multiple comic book issues is challenging, but I do think the pacing of this volume could have been improved.

Le pongo más estrellas que a los otro dos tomos, porque, por lo que recuerdo, éste era más grande y tenía mejores gráficos que los demás (además de que la película es mi favorita de la trilogía nueva, ay)
