Corinna Bechko and
Gabriel Hardman “Star Wars Legacy II Book I: Prisoner of the Floating World” (Dark Horse Comics, 2013)
When I think back on what I originally loved about Star
Wars, it’s all fairly simple: rip
roaring adventure, archetypical characters, cool effects. What’s so difficult about that? There’s no need for trade negotiations,
adolescent love stories or overly convoluted explanations.
That’s what I love about this comic. It’s a big ole adventure yarn set in the
future of the movies. A Jedi is ambushed
by a Sith and taken prisoner. A young
junk dealer finds a lightsaber. These
are jumping off points for action adventure stories.
Do you need to know any convoluted EU storylines to
appreciate the story? No. I’m not a fan of the EU myself, & I
enjoyed the hell out of this graphic novel.
Now I’m itching to read more in this universe.
