\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
By Adam Gallardo<\/strong>, Ryan Benjamin<\/strong> and Various (Dark Horse Books) Here’s a third outing for the concept of alternative stories from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153A Galaxy Far, Far Away\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d This Infinities<\/strong> sub-brand uses the more familiar film canon as the basis for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What If?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d tales extrapolating different events and outcomes from a pivotal change in the original storyline.<\/p>\n So what might happen if the scene in Return Of The Jedi<\/strong> where our heroes rescue Han Solo from imprisonment in a block of Carbonite goes hideously wrong? If you care you’ll want to buy the book, no?<\/p>\n At least you won’t feel cheated for quality, as the publishers always ensure a high standard of product. It’s all quite competently done by writer Gallardo and Ryan Benjamin’s art team, but I do wonder at the somewhat defeatist nature of the whole enterprise.<\/p>\n Surely there’s still a story to be told that adds to what is obviously a cherished franchise, before you have to depend on hackneyed gimmicks like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153let’s pretend\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Once or twice is fine but eventually it does begin to pall and the reader has even less emotion to invest in the story if it’s not ‘true’. Or ‘real’ or \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 well you know what I mean.<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a9 2004 Lucasfilm Ltd. & \u00e2\u201e\u00a2.
