This was another really solid batch of stories. I'm sorry I only have one left.
I think I've read all of these comics at some point when I was younger, as I remember bits and pieces. However, in this volume, I only remembered one of the stories, so I had a fantastic time reading this.
The first story is the one I remembered, as well as my least favorite of the bunch. It's a bit more screwball comedy and dark irony than I prefer in my Star Wars. Dengar was an interesting character to focus on, though.
The second one is very interesting. Focusing on a clone who is a fascinating premise, and I really liked the ending here. It's a bit open-ended, but I could work with that.
I didn't remember anything about the third story in here, only that it featured Quinlan Vos. I hadn't seen TCW when I first read these books, but I always thought that Quinlan Vos had a cool aesthetic to him. The story is really cool, too.
The last story in here is about Mace Windu - and, okay, why is it that Mace has more stories in these comics than he gets episodes in TCW? That just seems unfair. But this story is neat. It takes a bit of a strange turn, but I could work with this type of strange. That holocron stuff was cool.
4/5 stars. I tend to prefer the more emotional comics in here, but this was still a great collection, aside from the first one. I do wish there were more of these, as the art style is really fun and they are such a joy to read.

How does the Order 66 work, exactly? Do you need to hear it from a trusted authority, and if you miss that call, you're free? Even knowing for a fact, later, that it was executed?
Feels a little bit flimsy if you ask me.

(read in 2007, review from 2025)
The last one of these I ever read. The only stories worth skimming were the one about the clone pilot sparing younglings and the one with Quinlan Vos (the later only because I’m a Vos fan not because of the content).

The first story opens with a Besalisk (It's Dex, but the story doesn't tell you that until the end) getting off his ship and walking into town. He greets a person that's sitting who has a long beard and is holding a walking stick. Dex tries to describe what he's looking for using two of his hands. The person he's talking two claps another person on the back and then that person and Dex set out to find what Dex is looking for. There are a series of misadventures where Dex and the person he's with easily could've died, but finally they make it to a cave and the person pulls a slug out of a hole in the wall. A smiling Dex reaches into the wall and pulls out a creature that isn't a slug, that promptly attaches itself to his chin. With the some help the creature is removed and Dex finds his slugs. He puts them in a carrying container and happily shows it the person who helped him. He goes back to his diner on Coruscant, where he cooks the slug. There's been no actual speech until this point. Dex has the cooked slug on a plate, looking as pretty as he can make it, when he sees Obi-Wan and says, "Ah, Obi-Wan! You're just in time-I made an extra special dinner just for you!" To which Obi-Wan responds, "Wow, Dex! Dractuvian cave slugs!" Obi-Wan sits down to his diner, looking serious as he picks up his fork and knife. He chews on a slice of slug, then says while looking like he's laughing, "Yep! Just as disgusting as I remember!" Dex looks aghast! He says, "Disgusting?! But you said it was the best thing you ate on Dractu!" Obi-Wan sticks out his tongue in disgust and says, "Yeah, and have you ever eaten anything on that planet? The worst food in the galaxy!"
The second story opens on a clone trooper with a blue stripe down his helmet and a red emblem, HOB-147, drifting in his ship, a V-19 Torrent Starfighter. It encounters another ship. On the ship a battle droid asks the man in chair what to do with the ship. The man, Hurd Coyle, says to bring the ship in for salvage. The battle droids discover the clone trooper and say that his life support system is critical and ask for orders. Hurd tells them to take the trooper to sick bay. When HOB-147 wakes up it's to be greeted by battle droids. Despite being completely out of his armor and only in pants (poor guy doesn't even have his boots) he leaps into action and starts destroying the battle droids. He gets hit with an electro-dart and goes down. Hurd is upset at the mess he's made. Hurd puts a foot binder that attaches to the wall on HOB-147 and as he's leaning back on a crate says, "Name's Hurd Coyle. I saved yer butt when I salvaged your starfighter. You clones must be pretty busy killing alla them Jedi with Order 66, eh?" HOB-147 is shocked! Looking horrified he says, "What?" Hurd explains, "You haven't heard? The Jedi are your enemies." HOB-147 says, "Order 66?! When did this happen?" Hurd replies, "Ha! You go off floating around in space for a few weeks and you miss out on your orders. eh, clone? I've got droids to repair. Bye." As HOB-147 sits there trying to figure out what's going on, he noticed someone watching him from a nearby vent. He rips the door off the vent and pulls out a little blonde girl, Nia. She says, "So, you're a clone trooper, huh? You don't look so tough to me." He glares at her. She protests that she's joking and then HOB-147 gets hit with another electro-dart. Hurd grabs Nia and tells her, "You are in trouble Nia! Back you go with the other brats!" Nia protests, "But I dont' want to be locked up again! It's dark and smelly in there!" HOB-147 is confused and frustrated, he says, "Kidnapping children? Order 66? What kind of Separatist plot is this?" He decides he needs to investigate so he rips the leg binder out of it's wall socket. Meanwhile Hurd is pointing to the cargo hold and telling Nia, "Now get in there and say put!" Someone inside says, "We told you he'd catch you Nia!" Hurd shuts the door saying, "Messed up my droids...kids running' all over my ship...this is no way to make a living... I'm a simple salvage ship captain *crumble* what's next? *grumble*" A droid lets the Hurd know HOB-147 has escaped, he orders a droid to protect the children. When Hurd gets to the bridge he's told a Republic cruiser wants to inspect his cargo. HOB-147 investigates, beats up the guard droid, and finds the children, and promptly gets beat up and lands on his back with the children looking down at him, that's when he realizes that all the children are Jedi. Nia walks up to him. Another boy jumps down near her and warns, "Nia! Stay back!" Nia says, "It's all right, Bon. He won't hurt us. Captain Coyle talked to him. Not all clones are bad...are they...are they sir?" The ship is being boarded by clone troopers. The one in the lead says, "These old ships have been transporting Jedi to hide them in the Outer Rim Territories...tear the place apart, men!" Captain Coyle attempts to plead with them. HOB-147 intervenes. He says, "I'm HOB-147 of the Light Brigade Division. Captain Coyle salvaged my ship and saved me. I've been up and down this vessel and it's as the captain said...a simple salvage ship." He warns them off buying anything from Coyle and then leaves with them. He turns back to see Nia waving at him from a vent.
The third story is Quinlan Vos' no good terrible bad day. He comes up from the sewer in a cloak, trailing grime. People steer clear of him. Even Yoda remarks on how awful he smells. He'd infiltrated The Red Hand run by Ayo Morota. They are responsible for recent political assassinations and operate out of the sewer. He'd convinced them he was a Jedi outcast, but when they realized he was lying they tried to kill him. A chase ensued and he only narrowly escaped, but then was forced to kill the members in self defense. Then he comes across Ayo who throws herself to her death rather than be brought in by him. Quinlan reflects on this saying, "What evil could command such loyalty that Ayo would take her own life to protect it?" Yoda says, "Loyalty? Perhaps, but fear...fear can make one who lives below a slave to the one living in the highest tower." The last panel is Mas Amedda telling Palpatine, "Sir, Ayo Morota and the Red Hand have been wiped out by Quinlan Vos." Palpatine responds, "Good. Their usefulness had come to an end. I knew Quinlan would serve a good purpose, his cover blown...very good indeed."
The last story is Mace Windu searching for the lost Alpha-2 squad. He finds a walled city with one bridge into town. He confirms this is supposed to be an uninhabited region. A droid greets him saying, "Come, Jedi...you have been expected." Mace says, "Expected? By whom?" The droid answers, "The Countess Rajine, sir." Mace continues to try and ask questions as the droid leads him to the Alpha-2 Squad. They're all sitting around a table, not moving. Mace checks them. They're dead. As Mace tries to catch the droid to ask it some questions the clones eyes open. And then Mace is fighting zombies. Too many zombies. He gets overwhelmed and captured by Countess Rajine. She's an energy vampire who was trapped by Jedi Knight Samuro and his droid Z-18. He left behind a Jedi Holocron which Z-18 gives to Mace. The Holocron plays a message from Samuro, who says, "Hello, Rajine. If you are listening to this, it means a Jedi has found you. I alone was not strong enough to destroy the evil that you are. I could only contain you. I was able to trap you here, but not only you-all of your victims whose life-forces you have drained. All of their life-forces are trapped here with you. As a Jedi I cannot seek revenge, but all of these lives are quite vengeful. They are lost. Alone I could only trap you, but with another Jedi to speak the words of banishment your doom is sealed...the words to awaken the lost." He then says something that isn't translate and Mace repeats. The zombies turn on Rajine and she dies. Mace leaves saying that Alpha-2 squad is no longer lost.
The second story opens on a clone trooper with a blue stripe down his helmet and a red emblem, HOB-147, drifting in his ship, a V-19 Torrent Starfighter. It encounters another ship. On the ship a battle droid asks the man in chair what to do with the ship. The man, Hurd Coyle, says to bring the ship in for salvage.

Star Wars Legends Project #115
Background: Clone Wars Adventures, Volume 9 was released in October of 2007. It consists of four stories in the style of Cartoon Network's animated Clone Wars series: Appetite for Adventure, Salvaged, Life Below, and No Way Out. All four were written and drawn by the Fillbach Brothers.
Appetite for Adventure is set 4 months after the Battle of Geonosis (22 years before the Battle of Yavin), and features Dexter Jettster on the planet Dractu. Salvaged takes place 19 years before the Battle of Yavin, about a month after events of Revenge of the Sith, with several characters who don't appear elsewhere. Life Below takes place on Coruscant 4 months after Geonosis, starring Quinlan Vos. No Way Out also takes place 4 months after the Battle of Geonosis and features Mace Windu.
Summary: In Appetite for Adventure, Dexter Jettster braves an incredibly hostile world in search of just the right ingredients to bring back to his diner on Coruscant.
In Salvaged, a single clone drifting out in space so long that he missed Order 66 is recovered by a scavenger who happens to be hauling a particularly precious cargo.
In Life Below, Quinlan Vos battles a murderous gang in the sewers of Coruscant.
In No Way Out Mace Windu stumbles upon a lost city that holds a dark and deadly secret.
Review: Please refer to my review of Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, Vol. 1 for some general thoughts that apply to the series as a whole.
I enjoyed most of these stories a bit more than the usual run, with the exception of Life Below. Quinlan Vos is a great character, but I've become wary of stories that feature him because his presence has started to seem like a lazy way of communicating that we're reading a "dark" or "ambiguous" or "gritty" story. This story, though, isn't even as interesting as that, and he's not very well-used here. Some seemingly significant stuff happens, but it doesn't mean much because we don't get any real backstory that would give it dramatic weight. And then there's a little "Ooo, Palpatine so evil!" stinger that doesn't amount to much.
Appetite for Adventure gets off to a great start by rendering its title in "Indiana Jones" font. Almost the entire story is told completely without dialogue, which is a cool gimmick that is deployed really effectively here. And then comes the punchline to bring the whole thing together. I didn't much care for that part, but your mileage may vary . . . Just not my style of humor.
Salvaged is the second-best of the lot, doling out just the right amount of details to set the scene and building to one perfect moment. The only problem with it is that you want more of this story and more of the characters in it. No Way Out, however, is my favorite of these, and certainly the best use of Mace Windu yet. The concept feels like a throwback to some of the really early Star Wars novels of the '80s and the early Dark Horse comics of a decade later, but it's also clearly drawing on other influences. The lost city has this very obvious German Expressionist look to it, and the story deploys several horror movie tropes (some pretty subtle, some less so) that all leads to a pretty satisfying (although poorly explained) denouement. I kind of wish more of the stories were like this, but notably this one has nothing to do with the actual war.

Appetite for Adventure - It's nice to see Dex I suppose but this is a nothing story.
Salvaged - The clone stories have been my favorites of the series so far, but this one doesn't quite hit the mark. It has a good skeleton but pulling the clone away from his context in the Army removes something and doesn't replace it. Why is he able to retain this loyalty being alone when his brothers can't do it together? What does that imply? Idk I wasn't sold.
Life Below - Quinlan Vos shows up for the first and only time this series, to do . . . nothing of particular interest. It's a sort of "Quin lite" with the added issue that the story itself feels very wheel-spinny and irrelevant.
No Way Out - A Gothic zombie story in *my* Star Wars? It couldn't be.

Four cute short comic stories, of which at least one has a really nice idea with an energy vampire draining life forces of jedis.
It's like always. The artwork is pretty shitty, bcs i dont like the style, but it's clone wars and it fits very well in the story telling, so i had fun with it.

How can such a brilliant volume be followed by such an average one? Oh well, it was still entertaining. Mace Windu is no doubt sick of these mothereffing zombies on this mothereffing planet.

Short action-packed stories, none of them particularly memorable. The art is pretty solid though. The first tale, silly and with little dialogue, explores all of the adventures Dexter Jettster has to go through to make a meal.
The next tale was fairly enjoyable: a clone pilot is stick in his damaged craft and drifting in space. Due to battle damage, he has no contact with the Republic and is thus unaware of Order 66. He land son a trash freighter full of outcasts and is presented with the choice of whose side to be on.
“Life Below” was a very enjoyable tale: the Jedi Quinlan Vos investigates a criminal gang living in the sewers and suspected of several political assassinations. Unfortunately for him, his cover his blown. Even more unfortunately for his captors, he recovers his lightsaber and bests all of these sewer thugs single-handedly. However, the group’s leader kills herself rather than reveal any information (Unsurprisingly, it turns out that Palpatine was employing the group to rid himself of rivals). An enjoyable action story.
“No Way Out” is one of the strangest Clone Wars tales to date. Mace Windu is searching for an clone squad missing in action, when he discovers a lost city, which turns out to be full of zombies. This was sort of enjoyable, but felt really out of place for the Star Wars Universe.

"Appetite for Adventure" - Features Dexter Jettster, but the only dialogue is on the last page. I was very confused until the end what Dex was looking for: a cave slug from Dractu to cook up for Obi-Wan.
(2/5)
"Salvaged" - A damaged clone's ship is taken for salvage, but the captain learns the clone is still alive. The captain has a nifty secret though. What will the clone do?
(4/5)
"Life Below" - Quin investigates the Red Hand criminal group, but is ousted as a spy. I love his introspective conversation with Yoda at the end.
(5/5)
"No Way Out" - Mace goes to find the lost Alpha-2 squad and succeeds...except they're dead. Only not really. Everyone on planet is a zombie except for the energy vampire. It was weird but a bit interesting. Hey, if you can deal with Death Troopers you can totally deal with this.
(3/5)

Suitable for children aged 8+ and those who have seen the cartoons.
Dexter goes to extraordinary lengths for his food. A clone trooper is rescued and has never heard of order 66. I have problems with that as I thought they were all brainwashed with that order. Vos goes on an undercover mission in the sewers. Finally, Mace Windu vs zombies, and yes it is as fun as it sounds. A good read.

2nd story in the 4 is the best.

The stories are not great, nor are the illustrations. I think it is liked only because it says Star Wars. Zombies are in one story. The others are very forgettable.

This was a fun good read. I enjoy seeing new characters and the adventures they go on. Not deep material but fun!
