Reviews

[Neil R. Coulter · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's an Alessandro Ferrari Star Wars graphic novel. Like watching an abridged version of the movie at 2x speed.

[Scott Rhee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Alessandro Ferrari's fun Disney-fied graphic novel adaptations of the original Star Wars trilogy is a perfect introduction for kids who haven't seen the films yet. My daughter saw "Empire Strikes Back", but she was six at the time, and it was at a drive-in theater late show, so she was practically asleep. She really enjoyed this "Return of the Jedi" adaptation, especially the Ewoks (of course), but even the Rancor beast was kind of adorable. Apparently, Ferrari has adapted all of the prequels and the more recent J.J. Abrams-produced films, so we have lots more to enjoy...

Es un dibujo bastante simplon y destinado a niños, con el mismo guión de la pelicula, por lo que no hay sorpresas pero es un dibujo claro y el comic esta entretenido, sin duda seguire con los demas y en cuanto pueda lo leere con mis peques

The movies have a lot of stuff going on and Ferrari does a good job summarizing the content and still make sense. Most readers would have watched the movies first, anyway, so you will probably be filling the blanks. My daughter liked. The art is simple, children-oriented.

A good adaptation of the story with a fun animation style. Stayed true to the movie in most cases but some corners had to be cut for brevity's sake.

Solid 4. This one was by far the best in this version.

[Raymond St. Paul · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's okay

A good adaptation but would have preferred more to it than given for the price of the comic. I could say more but you get the idea.

[Bai · Rating 3 out of 5]

It misses so much detail from the movie, it's like the author's trying to rush the story.

I thought it was a really good book because Luke made the right choice and I like how in the end Darth Vader made the right choice and helped his son.
