Product Description

Product Description
The saga of the Clone Wars continues to unfold as the Old Republic is torn apart by the unrelenting war between the Jedi and the Separatist movement. On the planet Jabiim, Jedi forces find themselves facing a bitter and ferocious enemy who believe the Knights and their clone armies are child-killing murderers. Against such savagery, the Old Republic's forces are driven back and, during heavy fighting, Obi-Wan Kenobi is left for dead. Without his master to keep him in check, Anakin Skywalker begins to run out of control - straight into the embrace of the Dark Side! Bridging the gap between Episode II and Episode III, the official Clone Wars timeline spans novels, graphic novels and the new animated series showing on Toonami!

3.0 out of 5 stars Jabba-sized hole in an otherwise excellent book, 18 April 2007
By ShriDurga (Japan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This would have been a very good book if not for one very large blunder on the part of the editors at Dark Horse, who should have sent the script back to writer Haden Blackman with the following written on the cover page in red ink: Why doesn't Anakin feel Obi-Wan die in the Force?

There's a scene here where Obi-Wan is caught in a missile barrage and in the ensuing confusion of battle is never heard from again. He is presumed dead, a quite obvious conclusion under most circumstances. But as we are dealing with beings capable of "feeling" the presence of others in the Force; as we are dealing with Anakin Skywalker, the most powerful Force user in the living memory of the Jedi (which is quite long, as Yoda has lived for nearly a millennia); when we are dealing with two individuals tightly bonded as master and apprentice, and when these two are located only a short physical distance from each other, then the idea that Anakin accepts Obi-Wan's death so quickly and so easily is quite frankly ridiculous. At first I thought perhaps the pair had concocted a ruse enabling Obi-Wan to go underground on some secret mission. That seemed much more likely as we are never shown Anakin mourning the loss of Obi-Wan, even when we get plenty of scenes with other Padawan mourning the death of their masters and pondering on the meaning of life and sacrifice as they prepare to face the next battle in this long-running war.

Obi-Wan's supposed death turns out to be a lazy solution to a plotting problem - how to get rid of the master so that the student can take the lead. On the rain-soaked planet of Jabiim, the inhabitants have divided into factions supporting Republic and Separatist forces, and as the battle drags on the only Jedi left standing are the Padawan. Trained to accept orders from the Jedi, the Republic clone army must follow these apprentices into a last battle against a numerically superior enemy. But rather than waste their forces on Jabiim, Chancellor Palpatine orders a last minute retreat, leaving Anakin in the position of choosing to stay and support the Jabiimi loyal to the Republic, or leave them to be slaughtered by an army of droids.

How much more poignant the decision would have been if Anakin knew Obi-wan was alive in the Force, but missing in action, that when giving the order to evacuate the troops he would be abandoning not only the Jabiimi but his master as well.

As it stands, we're left with a huge whole in the plot that is never adequately explained, in this book or any of the Clone Wars stories that follow. Fortunately, the tale is not an entire waste. Brian Ching is on hand to provide some of the best artwork of the entire Clone Wars series, illustration that is realistic, fluid and cinematic. Where Haden stumbles, Ching soars and the book is almost worth getting for the artwork alone.

For those interested in a follow-up, there is a Second Battle of Jabiim, published as "In The Footsteps Of Their Fathers," which sees Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance visiting the planet many years later to support the Jabiimi resistance against the Empire. See my review of that book on the "In the Shadows of Their Fathers" page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grim warfare - Star Wars style, 10 April 2004
By Ian Tapley "thefragrantwookiee" - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
THE STORY:
More than a year has passed since the Battle of Geonosis (at the end of Episode II) and the Clone Wars are tearing the galaxy apart. Obi-Wan and Anakin have been assigned the task of leading the Republic forces on the miserable, rainy, world of Jabiim. There they face separation, the loss of their friends and overwhelming enemy forces, led by a Jedi-killing madman named Alto Stratus.

WHAT'S GOOD:
This graphic novel really captures the grimness of war, something that Star Wars occasionally glosses over. We see disillusioned allies, enemies whose cause seems as justified as the heroes' and most of all, we see death. I won't beat around the bush, a large percentage of the characters introduced here snuff it before the end. I think that this darker side of the Clone Wars is an excellent new facet in the gem of the Star Wars EU. The epilogue involving Anakin's interaction with a Tusken Raider Jedi is a facinating bit of character expansion too. The 'Padawan Pack' make for a very interesting group of characters and it's a shame that...well, I won't give too much away. The artwork is of a very high quality too, making you almost feel the torrential rain and, when it finally breaks through, the sunlight on you face. On the cameo front, there's appearances by Barriss Offee and Ki-Adi-Mundi (Jedi from the films), as well as A'Sharad Hett, the aforementioned Tusken Jedi (from the earlier prequel comics) and also the dark sider Asajj Ventress. Finally, there are two things I loved about this book and they're both walkers: The first is the inclusion of the AT-XT walkers (from 'The Clone Wars' computer game) and the second is the Republic's deployment of their new AT-ATs! (That's the big ones from 'The Empire Strikes Back'!)

WHAT'S BAD:
There's not alot wrong with this book. One issue is that, being part of a series, the story of Obi-Wan's disappearance isn't resolved, so you'll have to fork out for the next book in the series too. The other thing that may be a problem is that the story may not be suitable for some children. As I've said, it's got a very raw and brutal story and at one point even has the Separatist commander personally beheading a Jedi Master.

Buy it; I guarantee you'll read it time and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Amazing Collection, 14 Jan 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Wars: The Clone Wars-Victories and Sacrifices: The Clone Wars - Victories and Sacrifices (Paperback)
Having never read the Republic comics that these stories are from, I was very interested in buying the collected paperback issues. And I wasnt dissapointed. In Victories and Sacrifices, we learn about the chemical weapons that the Confederacy have developed, as well as meeting up with Bounty Hunter Durge and Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress, who've been turning up in comics, books and the Clone Wars TV shorts. This running continuity through the entire Clone Wars series makes the stories much more entertaining, as the events all have a bearing on each other.
The stories themselves are Obi-Wan and Anakin travelling to a moon of Naboo, where they discover the hideous chemical weapons, Obi-Wan's hunt for the antidote and Jedi Master Shaak Ti's mission on Brentaal IV. Each story is well drawn and well written, each with its own unique style.
Overall, a must read.
