My first proper go at the vast Star Wars graphic novels, pre Disney. I wanted to tackle the Clone Wars books, because they have some cracking tales in, so my hubby got me the background ones to introduce all the main characters.
First up, Ki-Adi-Mundi, who is a Jedi, but allowed to have a family because of the disproportionately high female birth rate. But all the Elders are male?
It's an okay story, about young against old, new tech and traditional way of life, drug smuggling and the loom of change on the horizon. It's a shame it all feels a bit flat, I didn't really identify with our hero, a missed opportunity for some diversity and some decent female leads, and some very questionable fashion choices. I know the artist is trying to make characters stand out, but hmmm.
Not a great starter. But it can only go up from here.
