A review by jenny_librarian
Star Wars, Vol. 1: Skywalker Strikes by Jason Aaron

adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

4.5

I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Some of the details aren’t perfect, but the story’s good and the characters are true to their original depictions.

The art is really close to life too, enough that Leia even looks just like her mother in some panels.

I’m incredibly tired of the « I’m no Jedi » line (they really need to let that one die), but the rest was pretty on point.

I do have to say my favourite part was Vader turning out to be the negotiator. I can’t ignore the irony of Vader using Obi-Wan’s nickname. It’s too perfect. My boy is as unhinged as ever.
That cracked window at the end 😂 he’s such a drama queen.
