Whether you’ve played (or are still playing) the game, have read Sean Williams’ novel, or even read the graphic novel, I’m sure you’ll all agree with me when I say this one word: WOW! Read the rest of my review here: http://davebrendon.wordpress.com/2008... ( )

I realise this is just a graphic novelisation of a computer game and that I shouldn't expect it to be anything other than ordinary... but by any low expectations this is a really poorly written affair. There's nothing wrong with the artwork at all, in fact it's actually pretty good. However, the writing is of a very basic quality with little in the way of characterisation. To describe the main protagonist Starkiller as two dimensional would be to give him far too credit. He's one dimensional at best, an extremely bland and flat character who, rather than excite readers with his role as Darth Vader's secret apprentice, manages to be little more than an ordinary looking man with a lightsabre. He jumps, he swipes, he fights, he says things... but that's it really. Big shame this because the overall plot and the premise were impressive and ambitious. The end result though is something that might entertain a ten year old but not someone who's been in love with the whole Star Wars saga for the last 20 years. ( )
