Reviews

[Neil R. Coulter · Rating 2 out of 5]

Like all of these Alessandro Ferrari Star Wars adaptations, this one would make no sense if you weren't already very familiar with the movie. This book hits many of the main points in the story, but it leaves out so much, there's not much emotion. Luke's learning from Yoda is particularly abbreviated—this book doesn't even show Luke's encounter in the cave on Dagobah. I'm not sure what the point of these adaptations is.

This was a very faithful adaptation of the film. The chronology, the text all matched up very well with the film itself. It was like reading a quiet version of the film. The one thing I did not like was the art. It was very cartoon like. Overly exaggerated expressions, simple illustrations with not a lot of depth. Also, may of the characters had the same expression throughout the whole book. One example was Han. He looked angry and very gruff throughout the entire book. This really felt off during the "I love you. I know" scene on Cloud City. He just looked so angry with Leia, like he didn't care about her at all.

For me, for the majority of the book, the art did not really reflect characters emotions or behavior. Otherwise though, this was a well done graphic novel adaptation.

Alessandro Ferrari’s kid-friendly graphic novel adaptations of the Star Wars movies are addictive as hell, for both kids and adults. My daughter is breezing through these books, and she’s that much closer to wanting to watch the actual movies.

My daughter loved the adaptation of “The Empire Strikes Back”. This was actually the only movie of the franchise that she’s actually seen, but her memory is hazy, as she was six at the time, and it was the second feature of a double-feature at the drive-in theater. (Yes, Ohio still has some of those.)

Her favorite part? The giant worm in the asteroid that almost ate the Millennium Falcon. Her comment: “It’s so cute.”

My daughter’s weird. Like her dad.

Good graphic novel adaptation of the film. Han's hair seems longer than Chewbecca's at times, though. :-) This was my favourite film of the original trilogy, so had I read this book when I was younger, my 13 year old self would have been indignant that the scene when Leia and Han first kissed on the Millenium Falcon was omitted!

You need to have watched the movie recently to understand this book. It's not bad, but not good either. There's a lot of material to cover and, as my 8yo daughter said, "I was expecting more pages". There are a lot of gaps and jumps without context or reasoning, but at the same time the art is OK and the story flows. We liked it enough to request the Jedi from the library.

Recomend you watch the movie(s) first (did I really say that)? There's a lot of gaps in the storyline.

[T.M. Carper · Rating 3 out of 5]

Retelling in full color for kids. Short read that's 70 pages long. Perfect for younger fans.

I liked the drawing style. They kept true to most of the movie script. A fun adaptation.

[Katelyn Marie · Rating 3 out of 5]

More like 2.5, I still loved the artwork, but my favorite episode in the saga, was sooo rushed. It left out so many good parts, they kept the lightsaber duel intact but...it was just too fast for my liking...

[Jerica J · Rating 5 out of 5]

this book is about a boy who dies and there only one hope of killing Darth Vader.
