Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Wind Raiders of Taloraan
Jedi Knights Anakin and Obi-Wan, with Padawan Ahsoka, travel to the planet Taloraan in hopes of gaining some useful allies for the Republic. But the two ruling groups on the planet are not particularly interested in making a treaty - the Defrandi are already more sympathetic toward the Separatists, and the Wind Raiders are simply unfriendly to everyone! It may be a merely impossible mission for the Jedi, or one that might end in disaster!

John Ostrander
2,081 books172 followersJohn Ostrander is an American writer of comic books. He is best known for his work on Suicide Squad, Grimjack and Star Wars: Legacy, series he helped create.
Originally an actor in a Chicago theatre company, Ostrander moved into writing comics in 1983. His first published works were stories about the character "Sargon, Mistress of War", who appeared the First Comics series Warp!, based on a series of plays by that same Chicago theatre company. He is co-creator of the character Grimjack with Timothy Truman, who originally appeared in a back up story in the First Comics title, Starslayer, before going on to appear in his own book, again published by First Comics in the mid 1980s. First Comics ceased publication in 1991, by which time Ostrander was already doing work for other comics companies (his first scripts for DC Comics were published in 1986).
Prior to his career in comic books, Ostrander studied theology with the intent of becoming a Catholic priest, but now describes himself as an agnostic. His in-depth explorations of morality were later used in his work writing The Spectre, a DC Comics series about the manifestation of the wrath of God. His focus on the character's human aspect, a dead police detective from the 1930s named Jim Corrigan, and his exploration of moral and theological themes brought new life to a character often thought of as impossible to write. He has also worked on Firestorm, Justice League, Martian Manhunter, Manhunter, Suicide Squad, and Wasteland for DC.

Aside from the, er, not-so-great artwork (like seriously, why do most of these Star Wars comics have such awful artwork?) and a plot that doesn’t entirely make sense and is full of more convenances then what’s considered healthy, this was a fun little adventure!
The best parts were Ahsoka, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Rex’s dynamics and bantering with each other in the face of danger and everything else they go through. I also thought it was hilarious when Ahsoka got the “disapproving scowl” from both Anakin AND Obi-Wan and when Yona basically sent Obi-Wan with them purely because he was being a smart mouth about how Anakin couldn’t negotiate even though he should have already taught him that. 😂
The weird part is that despite this comic being titled after them, the Wind Riders don’t really have much of a point aside from being a convenient way to remove Ahsoka for a bit. A lot of the plot felt just very there and not really relevant to anything they were doing either which was kind of odd.
So while I don’t think this comic is as good as Crash Course it’s still fun just because it’s these characters interacting with each other and getting into a heap of trouble they have to wiggle their way out of somehow, lol.

This one reads like an episode of the series. Skywalker and Obi-Wan along with Ahsoka go on planet to negotiate and Ahsoka is to learn the tricks of the trade. Action, treachery, betrayal, and Ahsoka of course getting in trouble is what to expect here.

It was nice to read an Ahsoka centric story that takes place when she's just starting to find her feet as a padawan. The story opens with Ahsoka and Rex fighting in a Y-wing together. Despite Rex not being in the story much he and Ahsoka's friendship shines in their few scenes together. After the battle Ahsoka, along with Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda go down to Kothlis, a Bothan colony. When Ahsoka calls out First Secretary Fey'la over lying about his loyalties it jeopardizes the Republic's alliance with his people. Yoda tells Ahsoka, "Because of the war, padawans like yourself are rushed into service. Neglected some aspects of your training have been, aspects a Jedi knight must have. Making peace is more important than making war. Any sentient with a club can make war. Your training as a diplomat we will start. Separatists and Republic both need tibanna gas. Prime unaligned source are the Denfrandi, on the planet Taloraan." Yoda decides that Anakin will negotiated the treaty and teach Ahsoka diplomacy. Obi-Wan quips about who will teach Anakin, gets reminded from Yoda that this was his job, and is then sent along as well.
When they arrive on Taloraan they're attacked by a party of Wind Raiders lead by Nardek. The Wind Raiders fly Fleft-Waufs, which appears to be large birds. The Denfrandi escort arrives and attacks the Wind Raiders. Ashoka objects, stating, "Masters, this is wrong! Our attackers weren't trying to kill us! It's like they were playing a game!" Obi-Wan agrees and gets the escort to stop attacking the Wind Raiders. The backstory given is that Taloraan was populated by human castaways. The Denfrandi are the dominant clan, they've embraced technology, while the Wind Raiders haven't embraced technology and occasionally raid and attack the cities. The negotiations are with the Denfrandi in Taloraan City.
Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka are greeted on the landing platform by Sech Govlinder, an emissary to Magister Orlin Denache. Sech explains that Orlin 'has taken ill' and he'll be conducting the negotiations. Ahsoka is very bored by the negotiations, but proud of herself for observing and not calling Sech out on lying. She asks to go explore and quickly uncovers the Separatist force in Taloraan City. A fight ensues and she's forced to flee the city. She ends up nearly dying and being caught by Stormwing, a Fleft-Wauf, ridden by Jeru.
Meanwhile it's shown that Sech is told by Orlin to be his go through to the Jedi since Orlin doesn't trust Jedi mind tricks. In truth Orlin has already signed a treaty with Dooku and is worried the Jedi will sense this. Count Dooku orders the Jedi killed. Obi-Wan and Anakin are knocked out in an explosion and Sech steps in to keep them from being killed. He then helps them escape so they can warn their ship they'll be an attack.
Ahsoka wakes up and discovers that Jeru believes she is his 'prize' because he saved her and brought her to his camp. She objects. It turns out that Nardek believes that Ahsoka is also his 'prize' and is arguing with Chief Bafor about it. Chief Bafor decides that the two will fight "for possession of the female." Yes, those exact words. Ahsoka objects, stating, "No one is getting 'possession' of the female except the female! I'm not a prize! I'm a Jedi!" Cheif Bafor say he doesn't know of the Jedi tribe, but Ahsoka may join in the fight. Nardek knocks out Jeru and gets overconfident. Ashoka takes Nardek out and then negotiates with Chief Bafor for help against the Separatists. Everyone works together to defeat the Separatists. Orlin realizes he has no future and kills himself by stepping off a platform. Sech describes this as, "He has, as we say, gone for a walk in the clouds." His suicide is a four panel sequence of him stand on a platform, looking down at the clouds, then his foot stepping off, and then an empty platform. It's not graphic, but I really wasn't expecting it.
The story ends with Rex asking Ahsoka if she's changed her mind about diplomacy. She decides it's not as boring as she thought and that she's pretty good at it. Then Jeru let's her know that Chief Bafor has named her an honorary Wind Raider and the two go ride some Fleft-Waufs together.

This is the third book in the line of The Clone Wars graphic novellas (coinciding with TV series of the same name). It is about Anakin and Obi-Wan going to the cloud city of Taloraan to negotiate a treaty for the Republic. The bring along Padawan Ahsoka to learn diplomatic skills and before long she finds out they've been led into a trap. In the confusion she gets kidnapped by Wind Raiders, a tribe of natives who fly on the back of giant birds. It's up to Anakin and Obi-Wan to find her, warn the fleet, and get off the planet.
Like the other novellas in this series, it's pretty decent. The cloud city setting is cool, as are the giant birds that the Raiders fly on. Luckily the writer decided to focus on the action and not the boring political negotiations. The artwork, of course, could be a lot better. Fun little read though.

Die Cover von der Serie sind so hübsch und cool :D und dann is der Innenteil so fucking ugly.
Aber da es eine der Hauptserien zu Clone Wars ist ... well, man nimmt was man kriegt, oder?
Die Geschichte um Diplomatie war allerdings ja, nicht so mega spannend. Das Gezanke zwischen Obi-Wan und Anakin war super und mein Gott, Rex ist hier nicht aufs Maul gefallen :D ich liebs. Ist sehr passend für die CW-Serie.
Bestes Zitat übrigens: Manchmal lässt man eine Lüge zu - besonders dann, wenn es um ein übergeordnetes Wohl geht. Das nennt man Diplomatie.
Naja xD

I don’t have anywhere near the Star Wars expertise as others, so much of this book by way of characters, places, and storylines was unknown to me going in. That said, the book was self-contained enough for even someone like me to enjoy without needing background information. The illustrations and coloring were nicely done and the book certainly had enough action for my 6yo to enjoy without being to long or drawn out.

Another book about politics and Diplomacy. I have to say this one held up very well as the plot and all general story line was solid. I also like that there was some interplanetary drama that was do to two sides wanting to lead very different lives. There was not a lot of information on why they didn't get along but it was very apparent. The art remains fun and simple but allows you to connect with the story and characters. My rating for this book is 4.4 out of 5.

Not the strongest in the Clone Wars series so far. There's little here in terms of plot or characterization, and the inconsistent art continues to plague this series of one-shots. It feels like a sort of forced homage to the "dragon riders" genre of fantasy cliches, and never meshes well with the science fantasy of Star Wars.

A fun read even if nothing significant happened.
September 21, 2023
A bit disappointing after the stronger instalments that preceded it, but it's not a terrible story overall.

Star Wars Legends Project #140
Background: The Wind Raiders of Taloraan was released in May 2009, the third in a series of 11 graphic novellas connected to The Clone Wars animated show. It was written by John Ostrander and drawn by the Fillbach Brothers. Ostrander has an extensive catalog of several dozen Star Wars comics, but this is his lone contribution to this series. The Fillbach Brothers, however, did the art for several of the other novellas as well.
The Wind Raiders of Taloraan is set sometime during the first year after the Battle of Geonosis (22 years before the Battle of Yavin). The main characters are Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan, with minor appearances by Yoda and Count Dooku. The majority of the story is, of course, set on the planet Taloraan, which first appeared in one of the best missions in the Rogue Squadron video game.
Summary: Looking to give Ahsoka some much-needed experience in diplomacy, Yoda dispatches her to accompany Obi-Wan and Anakin in negotiating for some valuable resources. Bored by the endless meetings, Ahsoka wanders off on her own and discovers a Separatist force already occupying the planet. When the situation goes from bad to worse, she must quickly forge an alliance with Taloraan's primitive tribe of beast-riding Wind Raiders in order to save the day.
Review: I still hate the Fillbachs' art style, so I'll just get that recurring complaint out of the way first. Well, that's a strong word. I dislike it. Quite a bit. In this case, that's probably my biggest criticism.
Ostrander is a really solid storyteller, and you can tell right away the difference between this entry in the series and the two previous ones by Gilroy. The story feels character-driven (by a natural progression of Ahsoka's arc as a young Jedi) rather than concept-driven (like, I dunno, "What if Ahsoka got entered into a podrace somehow? Wouldn't that be awesome?"). Ostrander does a great job contrasting Ahsoka's role as a budding warrior with her lack of experience (and lack of desire for experience) in the world of peacemaking, then finding a way for her to grow more as a character while putting her own particular spin on the experience. I liked the way he kind of sidelined Anakin and Obi-Wan without feeling like that's what he was doing . . . This is very much an Ahsoka story.
The one thing I wish he'd done a bit better was develop Taloraan society a little better, particularly the Wind Raiders. We don't even get a clear visual sense of where they live or what their life looks like, just a few interiors of their dwellings, which presumably float in the clouds like everything else? But float how? From what? Even just a few extra panels could have fleshed that out a lot more. Still, overall this was reasonably enjoyable, certainly the best of the graphic novella series so far.

And so continues my foray into the Expanded Universe material related to The Clone Wars! This time, the third digest-size novella The Wind Raiders Of Taloraan….
After accidentally derailing a delicate diplomatic meeting with the Bothans, Ahsoka is assigned to accompany Obi-Wan and Anakin to observe negotiations with the Denfrandi, rulers of the planet Taloraan. The Republic needs Taloraan’s Tibanna gas supplies for the war effort, but with the Defrandi already secretly in league with the Separatists and the primitive Wind Raiders simply hostile to anyone and everyone, this mission may be simply impossible for our heroes!
As with the previous entries, the story here is pretty decent. Its a little formulaic, with Ahsoka messing up and then learning her lesson by the end, but this is primarily aimed at the younger set, so we can’t complain too much. Plus, John Ostrander is always a pleasure. I’d have liked to see his longtime collaborator Jan Duursema come along for the ride though, and give us a break from the stylized art of the Fillbach Brothers. It’s not bad, I suppose, I’m just not really a fan. Again, if you like the show, you’ll like this. If you’re not familiar, it won’t do as much for you.
CONTENT: No profanity. Mild violence. No sexual content

I rated this book as ok for 3 reasons: 1) I was not ready to read a book that used the animation from the series 2) I had been used to reading graphic novels and this for sure wasn't a graphic novel. It was more like a children's comic book that one could find in a magazine. 3) The plot was very poor and the characters looked very 2-D.
I can forgive Gilroy, who had this absurd idea, because The Clone Wars was only starting and most of this stuff that that was going on had not been before or at last not in this fashion. He probably didn't even know what direction the show was even going to go and he could do this much with the information that he had. Also Gilroy had tried to put a 3-D world created by a computer onto 2-D. Not a good idea. He probably was one of those die-hard-original-trilogy-changed-my-life-fans who believed George Lucas "raped" his childhood with the prequels.

Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ahsoka: Taloraans Windräuber
Die Handlung:
Auf Taloraan sollen Ahsoka, Obi-Wan und Anakin einen Vertrag mit den Defrandi aushandeln, doch im Hintergrund lauert ein separatistisches Komplott. Die junge Padawan muss mit den eingeborenen Windräubern zusammenarbeiten, um es aufzudecken.
Meine Meinung:
Mit Clone Wars-Abenteuern kann man selten etwas falsch machen, so auch hier. Die Dynamik der Hauptfiguren ist gut eingefangen, Ahaokas Ablehnung des Diplomatischen humoristisch umgesetzt. Die Handlung ist typisch für einen kurzen Arc der TV-Serie. Sie ist nicht besonders ausgefallen oder neuartig, weiß aber zu unterhalten. Die künstlerische Gestaltung ist ansprechend.
Fazit:
Wer The Clone Wars mag, ist an der richtigen Stelle für unterhaltsamen Lesespaß.

You would think that LucasFilm could scrape together a budget for better artwork. The beautiful cover painting is the only striking artwork here. The story was OK, if completely predictable, and the central character in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Ahsoka, has the virtue of being more tolerable than Jar-Jar Binks. My ten-year-old daughter loves it, though, and if she writes a review then I am sure it will merit at least 4 stars. The lessons about diplomacy and the strong (if barely tolerable) young woman character almost ensure that. If I weren't such a curmudgeon, continually disappointed by these attempts to expand on my childhood mythology, I guess I could give this 3 stars.

Like all of the "Clone Wars Adventures" comics this edition suffers from one serious flaw: It's a kids book. Adult readers will blow through this in a half hour and be done with it. John Ostrander doesn't really bring anything new to the series, either. And he's the best Star Wars comics writer out there.
Good for the kids. Kinda dull if you're into double digits for your age.

A short comic focusing on an adventure in learning diplomacy for Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka. It takes place during the Clone Wars, and is a great little snippet of life during the war for Anakin and his padawan. It's a kids book but it's well written and enjoyable.

There are Wind Raiders.I like it because there is a tiny bit of a fight,and there is not much killing. The main character is Ahsoka,and she destroyed a command ship. There is a droid who tells the Jedi everything,and everybody who works for the seperatist dies. I liked it. Peace.

Suitable for children aged 8+ and those who watch the cartoons.
Skywalker and Obi Wan are sent on a diplomatic mission. There is treachery afoot though, and things quickly deteriorate. This is fun there's huge eagles and many fights. A good read.

This is a fairly entertaining Clone Wars comic by John Ostrander. It's nothing too serious, but it is a nice adventure with an airborne civilization.
