Product Description

Product Description

The Battle of Yavin - the Republic's first blow against the Empire, torpedoes fired by young Luke Skywalker destroying the Death Star, the Empire's ultimate weapon. But what if the torpedoes had failed? If Leia had been captured? If the Empire had...won? This thrilling new Star Wars title explores the world first seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope from a totally different perspective, and features all the great heroes - Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca and Yoda. And all the most nefarious villains - The Emperor, Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader. A journey as action-packed and fantastic as the original Star Wars trilogy!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A newer hope..., 12 May 2004
By Zagnorch (Terra, Sol System) - See all my reviews
I used to be a regular reader of Dark Horse’s Star Wars comic books, but my interest in them has dropped off quite dramatically over the past couple of years. It’s mainly due to there being far too many of them for any mere mortal to be able to follow without losing his mind!

Anyway, thanks to this Star Wars funnybook glut, nowadays I only read the ones that really stand out and/or grab my attention. This particular entry, ‘Infinities’, an alternate-timeline ‘Star Wars’ story, looked promising. Although alternate-reality plots aren’t particularly new to the sci-fi genre (especially ‘Star Trek’) or comic books, this was the first time to my recollection that the Star Wars universe has attempted this oft-tried gimmick.

The story, starting with Luke failing to destroy the Death Star, is fairly easy to follow, and features several interesting new takes on the many famous moments from the classic film trilogy, as well as a few brief bits from Episode I. I wasn’t too hip to the pacing of the story, however; it seems to end too abruptly. This series would’ve worked a bit better had they spread it over six issues, rather than four. The renderings are of standard quality- very good, but nothing particularly spectacular. The likenesses of most of the characters look somewhat like their live-action counterparts, but not uncannily so. And, like just about every other four-color creation that’s put out by a major publisher nowadays, the color separation’s computer-enhanced. Still, as a fairly fun bit of light reading, ‘Infinities’ does a competent job. All in all, it’s not a half-bad waste of time for the ardent Jedi wannabe.

Fair bit o’ warning, though: if you do read this and like it, be careful if & when you introduce this to your fellow geekin’ Star Wars fanboys. This baby’s started more arguments among my ‘Warsie buds over what ‘really’ would’ve happened in an alternate Star Wars timeline than our debates about what methods we’d use to administer a slow, painful death to Jar Jar Binks! Then there’s my buddies’ outrage over the fact that Boba Fett is nowhere to be seen in this illustrated tome, but that’s another story…

‘Late!

4.0 out of 5 stars Infinities, 30 May 2002
By A Customer
this book collects the four individual comics into one volume. it does give an interesting glimpse into what might have happened had events turned out differently. the artwork is reasonably good with all the characters being well drawn and the whole book in color. even though it says 'New Hope' it doesn't just concentrate on events from the third movie. it starts just before luke takes the shot then replaces the other movies. when i read this i found it interesting and worth the money. anyone who enjoys watching starwars and thinking what if... should get this.

3.0 out of 5 stars An alternative story of a new hope., 17 April 2002
This book provides a glimpse of how Star wars might have looked had Luke failed to destroy the Death Star. It certainly is an imaginative idea, though perhaps the ending does not convince.
Though a lot happens the dialogue and scenes are very hurried; it reads more like a film story- board than a comic. In fact it seems a little like a poor adaptation of an unmade movie.
The funniest moment in the story is Han Solo seeing through the great Yoda's trickery on Dagobah.
