- The heart of the Tales of the Jedi saga
Of the many Star Wars comics issued by Dark Horse, the Tales of the Jedi line was far and away my favorite. The series' setting (5000 years before A New Hope) let authors Kevin J. Anderson and Tom Veitch really go wild in creating the early tales of the Jedi Knights and their Sith adversaries, and resulted in the creation of some of the Star Wars Universe's most memorable characters.

Since many of the original Tales of the Jedi trade paperbacks are out of print, Dark Horse has issued Omnibus collections of the Tales of the Jedi comics. This is the second volume, and it collects the following stories:

Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi - The Freedon Nadd Uprising
This 2-issue series picked up where Ulic Qel Droma and the Beast Wars of Onderon left off. Our young Jedi Knights are under assault from the ancient spirit of Sith Lord Freedon Nadd (no snickering please), and any victory they ... Read More

- Excellent Material... Should be a movie (or trilogy)
This omnibus edition from Dark Horse contains the Exar Kun war. To most Star Wars enthusiasts, this may or may not make a lot of sense. So, for those who have played Knights of the Old Republic, it contains the exploits of the Qel-Droma clan and Nomi Sunrider. For those who have read the Jedi Academy books where Luke sets up the Academy on Yavin IV, it tells the story of Exar Kun and how he got trapped on Yavin.

It is a good story. The art is okay until "Redemption", where it is phenomenal. It has the typical battle between the light side and the dark side. I just wish that someone would master WHY a person would turn to the dark side of the force, but at least this provides some explanation as to why the central characters turned (more like they were forced to embrace it).

The stories that comprise this book are solid and IMHO movie material (it definitely beats Jar-Jar, the Ewoks, ... Read More

- Omnibus Editions: Best Bang for Lightsabre Buck

The Star Wars Omnibus is one hefty book. Jam packed with stories of the Jedi going back 4,000 years before 'current' events, the dark Sith and Jedi are at constant war. Dark Sith magic is not dead, and when powerful forces re-appear, powerful Jedi must combat evil with good.

That has always been the theme of Star Wars. Good vs evil. Sith vs Jedi. Throw a little biblical theming (light vs dark-light wins), some amazing talented jedi warriors dedicated to the force, and you have galaxy spanning battles.

This book is packed with them. Can't wait for the next Jedi installment? $24.95 gets you over 300 pages of pure adventure. Great art, great stories, and creative histories behind a franchise that will surely live centuries beyond George Lucas!
