"Liked it." - 3 out of 5 star rating.
It's Revenge of the Sith (RotS) in comic book form.
100% straight forward, with nothing new added and zero risk... this is the only reason why I am dropping this back -1 star, as its just more of a good thing - but doesn't offer anything new.
Another -1 star due to some highlights from the film and key dialog moments that are either entirely missed or slightly off/different here.
In order of precedence between book, movie, comic - the RotS comic adaptation comes in last.

Only problem I had with this one, was there's no "Hello There!"

This is the second volume of Dark Horse Comics' adaptation of Episode III. My son brought home the first volume in this series from his school library a few weeks back.
This issue focuses heavily on the political intrigue within the Republic and the conflicts that are beginning to tear Anakin Skywalker's loyalties apart. The dialogue builds on this idea nicely, with all of the forces around Anakin manipulating him, and the persistent voice of Chancellor Palpatine sowing doubts about the nature of the Jedi Order in Anakin's mind.
When the book finally returns to some action scenes at the end, the battle between General Grievous and Obi Wan Kenobi feels rushed although the art does make some good use of larger panels, especially in the opening moments of the fight. The climax of the battle could have been given more space and more attention, though, and a cut back to Palpatine and Anakin hurts the impact of the scene.
The artwork is generally faithful to the film, and this issue contained some of what I thought were the stronger script elements. Adapting a film into multiple comic book issues is challenging, but I do think the pacing of this volume could have been improved.
