We take a detour from the main story to hear about the time that Yoda acted out the plot of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, but with none of the good parts. I'm also not really a fan of the artwork for the main stories, I find that it tries to hard to be realistic, and ends up looking uncanny.

I did enjoy the Annual #2 that was included. I liked the artwork, and think that the Princess Leia focused stories end up having interesting things to say about the rebellion. I am curious to see if the character Pash ever comes back, or if she is only in this comic.

Kind of disappointing compared to previous trades. The twist in intriguing. The annual was a good story.

This is where the series gets weird. As the writers try to give some backstory to Yoda's exile, we get to see some more lore regarding the Force and force-sensitive people. It ends up being a weird experience that to me felt like the most unnatural expansion to the series so far.

Meh. I love Yoda but this whole side plot felt unnecessary. I just wasn’t interested, and the native caricature didn’t help.

The annual was all right. We stan a good butch lesbian character. Hopefully we get to see Pash again.

You have a galaxy full of cool and epic alien designs and yet you choose to show a species of [checks notes] white teenage boys dressed as native american stereotypes. Be so serious what was the thought process here.

2 stars because it was funny when they threw rocks at yoda and called him slurs

This wasn't the worst Star Wars comic. The idea behind the story of Yoda's mission, and the glimpse of a different manifestation of the Force, was interesting. It fits into the tone of the original 2D-animated Clone Wars series. The problem is that I have no idea what the connection is between Yoda's story and Luke's mission to rescue C-3PO. I see no relation at all between the frame story and the flashback. Also, is Luke reading only the parts that are written as Obi-Wan's journal? If so, then he's missing most of the story that we see in the panels. But if he's reading the whole story, then doesn't that mean he knows something about Yoda before The Empire Strikes Back? That doesn't make sense to me.

Fun, interesting installment but not for me. The last book ended on a cliffhanger and this one doesn't pick up that thread. Instead, Luke flies off with Artoo and reads Obi-wan's journal which details a chapter from Yoda's life prior to The Phantom Menace. While this title eventually needs to move on from the era between ANH and ESB (only so many stories to tell), this one didn't work for me and part of that is I'm a fan of enigmatic mentor Yoda, not Warrior Yoda. YMMV
