![]() All she wanted out of life was to sit behind the stick of a starfighter. But while her brother and sisters were playing with their pet squalls and taking dance and elocution lessons, Zal was racing speeders through the crystal canyons and breaking curfew.Īs soon as she was old enough, Zal left Chandrila and enrolled in the Rengali Imperial Naval Academy, bringing nothing with her from Chandrila but a lucky charm made for her by her older brother. ![]() Born and raised on Chandrila, Zal should have been a nature-loving, peace-making scholar like most of the rest of her family and, in fact, most of the rest of the planet. This is a collection of short stories of villains that appear during the original trilogy.Zal Artha never fit in. The characters in this collection are Grand Moff Tarkin, Boba Fett, Jabba, Darth Vader, and IG-88.ĭisney did a similar collection for the prequel trilogy. I thought this collection was a step up from that collection. Once again, the artwork excels in this trilogy and that is one thing Disney has gotten right with its comics. The artwork has not been bad in any collection that I have read. As for the stories they are not truly relevant to the overall arc but are just instances in each character's lives. Jabba's story was the only one I did not like and I really liked Fett and IG-88's stories. What sold me on these two was that it seemed like a wink to the audience of why these two characters have become insanely popular even though they were originally just minor characters. I liked this collection and it is a step up from previous collections that housed short stories. This might be a case of Disney ironing out the wrinkles because they have done it before or me enjoying it more because of the time setting of this collection. Nothing beats the time setting of the original trilogy.ĭarth Vader. That, ladies and gentleman, is one heckuva lineup of villains. And thankfully, the stories in “Star Wars: Age of Rebellion – Villains” – mostly – live up to their dark pedigree. #Age of rebellion plusĬonsisting of 4 one-shots, plus an additional Special issue that includes short stories for IG-88, Yoda, and the pairing of Biggs Darklighter and Jek Porkins, the stories in “Villains” – just like those in other collections like “Age of Republic,” “Age of Rebellion,” and the just-started “Age of Resistance” series - succeed specifically because they don’t try to reinvent the wheel or offer up grand, canon-changing revelations about their characters instead, they’re “quick dips,” giving us just enough of a taste to remind us why we love these particular evildoers (or love to hate them) as much as we do. Some stories here, admittedly, feel more fleshed out than others – the “Jabba the Hutt” issue, for instance, feels especially on the light side – but on the whole, this is another solid addition in what has turned out to be a really fun maxi-series. It is a collection of short one-shots about the various villains of Star Wars. For the most part, the quality of the stories and the artwork were quite good. Each story ends with notes from the author about the character's development, creative ideas, and cool tidbits from the lore behind the making of the movies. Really interesting stuff for a Star Wars fan. The first story is about Grand Moff Tarkin and is superb. It's a look inside what drives Tarkin as he seeks to mold the Death Star crew into his vision. Then we take a look at Boba Fett as he pursues a "difficult" (for others perhaps, Fett? Not really) bounty. This is also a very good story and quite entertaining. The third story was about Jabba the Hutt and his dealings with the Tusken Raiders. Again, a very well written story that shows an interesting, and cunning, side to Jabba. This is followed up with a Darth Vader story where he tries to grasp the idea behind his duties and role as the Emepror's Fist. Then the last few stories aren't of the same caliber. We have an IG-88 Assassin Droid story which was decent, but the art took a turn for the worse. Then there are some cool alternate cover art and a fluff piece for some upcoming comic. On the whole? This is a really cool one shot collecting some good stories about the bad guys of Star Wars. 44 Pistol (1) 'Igginbottom (1) $27 Snap on Face (1) 10 cc (1) 10.000 Maniacs (1) 100 Greatest Guitar Solos (1) 100 Proof Aged in Soul (1) 1001 Songs (1) 101 North (1) 111 East (1) 1313 Mockingbird Lane (1) 14 BIS (3) 145th Street Deluxe Blues Band (1) 1860 Band (1) 2 Cellos (1) 20 Watt Tombstone & Left Lane Cruiser (1) 21.
