L'histoire de cette bande dessinée se passe 5000 ans avant les événements qui ont mené à la destruction de la première Death Star. Gav et Jori Daragon se retrouvent orphelin après une guerre qui a tué leurs parents. Ils devient donc navigateurs et essaient de trouver des nouvelles routes dans l'hyperespace pour gagner leur vie. Cependant, une de leur route qui était trop risqué leur cause des graves ennuis avec celui qui l'a acheté et doivent quitter leur planète en vitesse et se retrouvent par hasard sur la planète Korriban. Cette planète est celle de l'origine des Sith. Deux factions, celle de Naga Sadow et celle de Ludo Kressh se combattent pour être à la tête de l'empire Sith. Sadow utilisera donc les deux nouveaux arrivant pour créer une peur d'une invasion de la République pour convaincre les autres Sith de se joindre à lui dans une politique d'expansion de l'empire.
Pour le positif, j'ai bien aimé de voire la race originale de Sith et de connaître leur origine. J'ai aussi aimé voir comment vivaient et quels étaient les coutumes des premiers Sith et des premiers Jedi. De plus, c'est bien de voir que tout ne tourne pas toujours autour des Skywalker.
Pour le négatif, je n'aime pas beaucoup les dessins dans cette BD. Je crois que ça aurait pu être bien mieux. De plus, je n'aime pas le look greco-romain dans l'habillement des personnages. Je trouve que ça ne marche pas dans une histoire comme Star Wars, même si l'histoire se passe plusieurs milliers d'années avant les évènements des films. En plus, les vaisseaux sont vraiment affreux.
Pour ce qui est de l'histoire, c'est plutôt ordinaire. Je crois qu'il y avait place à vraiment mieux.

This one was pretty great. Naga Sadow is a fascinating sith lord. The art is very 90s.

The best part was Naga Shadow’s machinations; Palpatine would be proud. But they give him just enough remorse that this was necessary while not wavering in his conviction that it is, and give him- by Sith standards- good intentions for his empire and people to make him compelling. It’s great getting this context for a character I only knew glancingly in KOTOR 1 and 2.

I don’t really know what to make of this particular Star Wars story.
There’s a lot in here I like and appreciate. I like seeing where the Sith are at compared to where they were with the Dawn of the Jedi stories. I like seeing what the Jedi are up to and their connection to the Republic.
What I find somewhat disjointed and disappointing is the approach to empires. This book very clearly says the Sith empire is bad. These are bad people. But then sort of props up Empress Teta as a good character to root for. Like are we saying empires are bad or not?
All in all this is a fun read for Star Wars fans. It’s not boring but nothing mind blowing either. Very middle of the road type of story.

There's not much nuance to be found here, it's a simple story of good vs bad, and naive and slightly stupid hero's, with conniving and power-hungry villains. But honestly, would you want anything else from 90's Star Wars comic?
It was interesting to read about the dangers and failures of the discovery of hyperspace links, and the politics of the Sith empire was also strangely compelling. It's easy to see how this series inspires so many Star Wars fans.
As for the art, it's unremarkable and serviceable. It's aged pretty well visually but was still unmistakably 90's, with some very dated costume choices.

I read this volume almost 19 years ago for the first time and I have to say that the story aged very well.
What made Star Wars appealing to me is that it was story of good vs evil plain and simple. This was universe where one could find sterile environments like various Imperial battleships but also grim, frontier and underworld culture made of various shady characters, smugglers and criminals. It is very vibrant world setting and Darkhorse made significant contribution to the lore and overall world building, both visually and story wise.
In Tales of the Jedi we are presented with mix of technological and magical - very techno-barbarian style of the early Republic, pioneers and warlords fighting to achieve their goals and carve their bloody place in history.
In this book we follow two siblings, brother and sister, as they accidentally come across the ancient Sith Empire. Unknowingly they will bring this malevolent force to the Republic's very doorstep while learning about their true selves in the process.
Art is great, few issues are a little off for my taste but in overall it is very well illustrated graphic novel.
Recommended to all fans of Star Wars and good SF/Fantasy story.
