A review by zare_i
The Golden Age of the Sith by Kevin J. Anderson
5.0
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.
