Review of advance copy
A fun addition to my Star Wars Manga collection. The UK release date for this is earlier than goodreads says
a fun adaptation of the game, with good art and a good telling of the story, skipping over some gameplay moments to make the book flow better.
an enjoyable read and not a long wait for volume 2.

NOTE: Despite what Goodreads says, I read the English version.
The first volume of an adaptation of the Respawn Entertainment computer game Jedi: Fallen Order, set 14 BBY.
Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis is in hiding on Bracca but reveals his Force powers to save a friend, drawing the attention of the Empire's Jedi-hunting Inquisitors. He is saved by Cere Junda and Greez Dritus, who recruit him on their mission to rebuild the Jedi Order.
This book has two advantages going for it from the word go; the first of which is that, due to George Lucas' love of Akira Kurosawa movies, Japanese style and culture if built into Star Wars at the most fundamental level. This means that it adapts exceptionally well to manga. The other advantage this book has is that its source material is one of the best Star Wars games ever made, with compelling characters, dramatic locations and dynamic action set-pieces.
With all of that in place, all this book needs to do is be a competent adaptation to be really worth a read... and it succeeds perfectly.
The writers have done a good job of knowing which bits of the game to adapt in detail and which bits to skip past, whilst also giving us just enough terrain-climbing and lightsaber-swinging to get the feel of what the player experience is like. I especially liked seeing Cal's first encounter with a Purge Trooper, whose armour takes more than just a single lightsaber hit, just like in the game.
The book ends with a strong cliffhanger as Cal has a rematch with the Inquisitor Second Sister, only for her to reveal the shocking secret of her identity to him.

(4.5) Przyjemne czytadełko. Szkoda, że robi speedrun właściwie gry (cały tom praktycznie objął połowę fabuły gry), ale wciąż bardzo fajnie się czytało. Styl jest przyjemny a niektóre postaci są naprawdę fajnie narysowane, w szczególności Greez (acz Cere mogłaby wyglądać lepiej. Z drugiej strony, Trilla totalna hotówa). Manga po prostu przeskakuje wszystkie etapy gdzie trzeba było docierać do lokacji. Ciut szkoda, bo to zawsze mogła być opcja by nieco pogłębić postać, ale rozumiem że nie po to to powstało. Raczej miało to być szybkie, przyjemne czytadełko i tę rolę spełnia (co zalatuje cashgrabem noale czego ja oczekuje w dzisiejszych czasach). Po drugi tom tak czy siak chętnie sięgnę, choćby po to by powiększyć moja kolekcje reaction piców Greeza XD also, mangowy Calu Kestisie, my beloved 💜
Review of advance copy
A great new series. I have heard of the book and series am very glad to have the manga version. A great fast paced, action packed edition to the Star Wars universe.
Cal Kestis is in hiding. However you can only hide for so long before the Empire finds him. Now he is on the run with people he does not know or trust. Will he keep hiding or will he embrace his destiny and a cause. Following clues making friends, allies and of course enemies.
Great story and awesome artwork. I like how Cal levels up his skills. I would like to know how, but I think that is more for the novel than the manga, but I can't wait for the next volume.

Read the UK edition because I was too impatient to wait for the US edition 😂 I love seeing Jedi: Fallen Order representation, and this is a fun take on the story! Sort of the “speedrun” version, but still hits all the important points of Cal’s character development. Great art, and I have never seen such perfect drawings of BD-1 and Greez.

Review of advance copy received from Sonstiges
I have the UK Edition, which is out for a few days now.
I really like the drawings and the characters look pretty well adapted (maybe except for one). I took one star off, because I'm nitpicky and the start feels a bit rushed compared to the Game.
But there are so many things I really enjoyed. A lot of the animals the game makes us fight are somewhere in the background or scenic pictures. Greez is his complaining self (I love that character) and Cal's just a cinnamon roll.
I'm really looking forward to the second part and really hope for an adaption of Survivor.
