5.0 out of 5 stars One hundred years after the Yuuzhan Vong War and then beyond., 1 Aug 2007
By Skywalker fan "GMS" (Oxon, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This trade paperback contains the first major story arc of the Star Wars Legacy comic series by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema. It takes place in the Legacy era of the Star Wars timeline which begins 40 years After the Battle of Yavin (ABY) and extends from that point onwards with no end year yet stated. The vast majority of the series takes place 137 ABY but the first part of the story takes place during 130 ABY to set the scene for the flash forward of seven years.

We are quickly brought up to speed on the state of the galaxy with an excerpt from Darth Krayts Holocron at the beginning of the book. The Galactic Alliance (a galactic republic) has endured from 29 ABY at the end of the Vong war to 130 ABY. However due to Darth Krayt and his Sith hordes sabotage of a beneficial Jedi Order/Galactic Alliance/Yuuzhan Vong terraforming project and their alliance with the restored (but different) Empire the Galactic Alliance has just surrendered after a three year conflict. The Sith then turn their attention to the Jedi Academy on Ossus. This is where the Broken storyline begins and it takes the reader on a journey that spans the Star Wars galaxy and deals with the search for the last Skywalker and what it means for someone to have such a massive legacy to live up to.

This arc sets the scene for the series and although some may be skeptical of the return of the Sith and the Empire the original and compelling way they are handled will soon show you that the all star team of Ostrander and Durrsema have not lost their magic. The Empire for example has its roots in the Imperial Remnant which last we knew was a member state of the Galactic Alliance in the Legacy of the Force books (40 ABY). Now we see at some point during the ninety year gap they decided to call themselves an empire again and have a dynasty of Emperors with the last name Fel. This Emperor is more benevolent and shares power with a Moff Council. The Sith are now legion again and their thinking behind this change in doctrine and the question of their legitimacy is addressed during this story arc making for one of the books best sections. Where Darth Krayt must explain his choices to Dark Lords of different eras. This makes for a truly unique plot that uses the typical iconic Star Wars elements but with a worthwhile twist on them.

A fine cast of characters is established in Broken including Kol and Cade Skywalker, Wolf Sazen, Shado Vao representing the Jedi Order. Roan Fel, Anatres Draco, Ganner Krieg and Astraal Vao from the Imperial camp. Not to mention all the Sith and underworld characters introduced. These characters are all superbly designed and instantly feel part of the Star Wars universe.

The great thought and care that has gone into the creation of this series storyline combined with Jan Duursemas sublime art makes for the start of one of the finest Star Wars comic series ever. This is the perfect jumping on point for a series that is really going places.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good start., 13 April 2009
The tone for this new chapter of the Star Wars universe is set from page one. The Jedi Accadamy on Ossus is in flames, the Sith have returned and are in control of the galaxy and there are few Jedi left. Sounds a bit like Revenge of the Sith? Yes it does. I was unsure of buying this as my first Star Wars comic series to get into, however, it's worth the money. Broken is the start of a great series in which the future of the Star Wars galaxy is detailed. There are Jedi, Sith, bounty hunters, pirates, Emperors, knights and princesses in a story so good that it kept me hooked till the end. The artwork here is also great and fits with the style of the comic.

In short, it's a great, enjoyable read with familiar conventions of the Star Wars series but it also provides us with something different and new.

Beware Star Wars readers. This is a comic and nothing like the Star Wars books. Amazon should make this clearer in their advert !!!
