I liked the first volume of Vader's Castle, but I love this second one! The stories fit more naturally into the frame structure, and the artwork is all Francavilla. I wish more SW graphic novels would take chances with the artwork, as this one does. Everything in this book works perfectly.

The best Vader's castle story is the one with maul and the younglings.

Very cute Hallowe'eny stories. Bonus points for an Asajj Ventress story.

I liked these even better than the first set, especially the Hutt story (SO DARK lol).

Another Star Wars treat for the Halloween season. Obviously these are geared to younger readers, but these stories are a lot of fun. Cavan Scott surely brings the fun in all his entries in canon. Star Wars is really for everyone and this flavor is perfect for harmless spooky vibes.

Released as part of Free Comic Book Day 2019, Droid Hunters is part of the Tales from Vader's Castle mini-series. The framing story takes place concurrently as issue 4 of the series, showing Lina and CR-8R's side of the search for Lieutenant Hudd, arguing about the man's habits of pilfering and how it has gotten him in trouble in the past. From there, CR-8R tells a story about how Hana and Chewie once helped a man discover lost pirate treasure before some low-lives can.
Honestly, I liked the story for the framing story. It's just Lina and CR-8R arguing about Hudd, but it just says so much about them. CR-8R keeps listing off incidents the Lieutenant did in the past, with Lina going, "No, I don't remember that, but I have faith he changed himself after joining the Alliance." Granted, anyone who read Tales from Vader's Castle would know the answer to their conversation, but it was character interaction greatly missing from the mini-series.
Being a tie-in to Tales from Vader's Castle, the Han and Chewie story isn't horror, not even from a kid's standards. It's adventure. An okay adventure, but adventure nonetheless. The story's art style is also similar to something you might see on Cartoon Network.
An okay tie-in, its framing story feels like something that should have been included in the mini-series itself (I don't know if Droid Hunters was included in the trade paperback edition of Tales from Vader's Castle). More of the same from what's been shown in the mini-series.

Another year, another round of Halloween stories. And what can I say? I really enjoy them! The creepy feeling, the unknowing protagonists, the color scheme - truly perfect for Halloween and a lot of fun...at least if you don't get caught by Maul.
