Problem is… I’m only fifteen and I’m already sick to death of the Jedi Order.” And don’t get me wrong – I love the Force. “Everyone says I’m one of the strongest Force-users this temple has ever seen, that I’ll be a legendary Jedi one day. Vielen Dank an Panini für die Bereitstellung des Rezensionsexemplars! Die farbenfrohen und simpel gehaltenen Zeichnungen passen gut zur Atmosphäre, sind aber dementsprechend auch nicht für jeden etwas.Įin spezielles Star-Wars-Erlebnis für alle Freunde von Witz und Comic Relief. Das kann zwar unterhaltsam, aber manchmal auch albern wirken. Older gelingt es eine Geschichte aufs Papier zu bringen, die sich selber nicht zu ernst nimmst. Mit Maz und Dexter Jettster (welchen Job hatte der Kerl eigentlich noch nicht?) erleben wir gleichzeitig zwei bekannte und beliebte Charaktere in ihrem Element. Doch das ändert rein gar nichts an dem Charme und dem Witz des Piraten-Abenteuers. Insofern ist das Ergebnis dieser Reihe nicht schwer vorzustellen. Zeit für die Jagd nach einer Gruppe opportunistischer Machtnutzer!ĭie Abenteuer-Comics der zweiten Phase liefern einen Teil der Vorgeschichte der berühmten Jedi Sav Malagan. Doch dass sie so schnell als Teil der Crew von Maz Kanata endet, hätte sie dann doch nicht gedacht. ![]() Padawan oder Piratin? Für Sav Malagan ist diese Frage schnell beantwortet. Star Wars: Die Hohe Republik: Abenteuer Bd. A bit of a shrug for me, but not quite an exasperated one. And – as I mentioned – Volume 1 is a marked improvement of the previous phase’s “Adventures” kickoff, telling a better, more cohesive story that also happens to have a few interesting characters and themes that are slightly – SLIGHTLY- deeper than you might expect from a junior-grade series such as this. Do you like with cute animals? Adolescent hijinks? Broad humor? Then this is the “Star Wars” series for you.įor my money, Older’s approach to the franchise has never really been my particular “thing,” but I can still appreciate the fact that through “The High Republic Adventures,” he’s effectively introducing younger readers to the franchise. Really, your mileage for Daniel Jose Older’s particular brand of “Star Wars” will likely vary, depending on just how much of a tolerance for the “kiddy” side of the franchise you enjoy. I’ll say this for Volume 1 of “The High Republic Adventures” (for Phase II): it’s better than Volume 1 of Phase I. I will say that I strongly believe children will enjoy this with the group of different characters and the nature of the story. But just being four issues was an injustice that really affected my rating. This being for kids and me reading it through my adult eyes did not help the cause. I have not been a fan of The High Republic series as I believe it has gone on for way too long. I am not really surprised as it had several things working against it. This is not my favorite collection from this universe. They really could have done another issue. I know this a running series but four issues gives of the impression that this is a more of a money grab than adding to the lore. We just stop in the middle of the story with no conclusions to anything. My major issue with this collection is that it is only four issues combined. Speaking of the target audience the artwork is especially geared towards them as it is bright and displays an atmosphere of the previously mentioned lightheartedness. Like I said this is geared towards children so that can be forgiven. It is there just to get everyone together. The reason for the team up with the common aspect is nothing special. It is your basic story of a group of eclectic beings joining up together to put a stop to the baddies. As for the story there is nothing new here. I enjoyed this as it shows her adventurous lighthearted side and this was a nice contrast as how we see her in the first phase. It is lighthearted and not serious in its content. Like the series run in the first phase this collection is really geared towards children and it shows. ![]() She wants more excitement to her life than the boring lifestyle of a padawan. We first saw her in the first phase as a Jedi. In this one we visit Sav Malagan as a padawan. This is a collection that is part of the second phase of The High Republic series. ![]()
