Product Description
Inspired by the smash-hit Cartoon Network animated series, the second volume in this fantastic new pocket-sized series makes the Star Wars Galaxy a whole lot bigger, faster and boiling with action! Bridging the gap between Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and the forthcoming Episode III, these epic tales find Star Wars legends Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Mace Windu battling to stem the advance of the Separatist battledroids as they swarm from planet to planet. And for Anakin Skywalker, the dark side beckons...Featuring the gorgeous art style of genius cartoon creator Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack), this is a jump to light speed for Star Wars lovers of all ages!

Format:Paperback
These books are good but my 8 year old son had read 2 within an afternoon, so not much reading content. He liked them a lot but they are like a cartoon magazine expcept far smaller. If they did a box of 5 for about a fiver, that would be more reasonable.
Format:Paperback
I have to agree with RC Searle - whilst the books (more like bound comics) are well drawn and nicely presented, they do not have much substance as they are effectively a comic strip.
My 9 year old read this book in one go, but does dip back to it now and again.
They are possibly geared more towards adult comic book fans of Star Wars based on the price.

THE STORY:
Three in fact, set five months after the end of Episode II. In 'Blind Force' Anakin and Obi-Wan must locate Separatist weapons on the night-shrouded world of Nivek. 'Heavy Metal Jedi' features Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Saesee Tiin fighting a powerful new Battle Droid in the Battle of Iktotch. Finally, 'Fierce Currents' has Master Kit Fisto attempting to track down the Separatist leader on Mon Calamari.

WHAT'S GOOD:
Despite my expectations, the art featured in this graphic novel is really good, managing to convey emotion, combat and movement with equal excellence. The stories, although short, are also very good and I particularly like the bit in 'Blind Force' where Obi-Wan first comes up with the idea of using blindfolds and tells young Skywalker to "stretch out with your feelings" (sound familiar?). The mix of action and humour in the second story makes it great entertainment and the surprising turn of events in the third story is good reading too. There's also a brief appearance by everyone's favourite stumpy big-eared green Muppet too.
WHAT'S BAD:
The only major fault with this book is that, in realistic terms, you don't get very much for your money.
