By John Jackson Miller<\/strong>, Brian Ching<\/strong> & Travel Foreman<\/strong> (Dark Horse Books) This is set nearly four thousand years before the events of the feature films and the Republic is a sprawling pan-galactic, multi-species culture run on largely democratic and free-market principles, policed by individual systems but overseen by the beneficent adepts known as Jedi Knights, who answer only to the Senate. Zayne Carrick is a Padawan, a Jedi-in-training, and one of the worst his Jedi masters have ever taught. In fact he’s even a bit of a joke to the various low-level criminals and thugs he in charge of policing.<\/p>\n So it’s much more than grim irony when his Jedi masters slaughter all the other Padawans and frame Carrick for the crime. Hunted and desperate the fugitive must team-up with a minor crime-lord and other \u00e2\u20ac\u0153evil-doers\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to discover the truth of a plot to re-shape the Galaxy if he is ever to find peace and justice.<\/p>\n This is an old fashioned story told in a traditional way, and it’s great. Harking back to the glory-days of the pulp genre from which the Star Wars<\/strong> brand evolved, it’s full of breakneck thrills, baroque characters and action, action, action. No knowledge of backstory is necessary, and there’s even a twist in the tale. All licensed comics should be this good.<\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a9 2006 Lucasfilm Ltd. & \u00e2\u201e\u00a2.
