Star Wars: Legacy, Book 1 by John Ostrander
4.0
4.5 !
This was probably the best graphic novel I've ever read. It read like a true book but had the amazing added bonus of pictures :P
The is set after the events of the movies, with a future generation of Skywalkers. This is a gritty novel though, with everything you love about Star Wars (the atmosphere, all the different creatures, the pretty women, bounty hunters, Sith, Jedi.. even R2 makes an appearance :D)
What this graphic novel has working for it that really sets it apart is a real, driven plot. It was so incredibly well written, with some off shoots that tied back into it. There were side stories that ended up just coming full circle. And even though the novel did break off into these, they were all super intriguing and thus kept your attention more then if it was just solely about Cade. The whole thing was superbly done.
The only reason I knocked off 1/2 star is because I did get somewhat bored at some of the meatier military strategy scenes. I did almost give this 5 stars though. Also, no Blue/Cade lovin! I was so hoping for that.
I really seriously enjoyed this. Only a couple times did my attention waver (this is a behemoth of a graphic novel too!)
I highly recommend this to any Star Wars fans. You don't have to have read every other book that's out there on this (because writers have been churning them out for awhile now). I slipped in very easily just having seen the movies. A non Star Wars fan may not be able to get into it because of all the lore though, but maybe try because this is an awesome graphic novel! And the artwork is SUPERB.
So happy I found this on a whim @ the library.
