Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The Clone Wars have begun! Ever since they were mentioned in the very first Star Wars film, fans have been dying to know more. Attack of the Clones offered a glimpse, but "The Defense of Kamino" brings the galaxy-wide conflict into full view!

Two undercover Jedi discover a Separatist plan to destroy the cloning facility on the watery world of Kamino, thus crippling the Republic's ability to maintain their clone army. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are part of a Jedi fighter squadron sent to protect the installation, but they learn that there are heroes fighting for the Separatist cause as well as for the Republic, and that Jango Fett, though dead, still has something to say about how this war is fought! Meanwhile, Mace Windu, the leader of the Jedi Council, must deal with a rift in the Jedi ranks--a matter that reveals a Jedi traitor and a new Dark Jedi working in league with Dooku. Mace is considered one of the best swordsmen in the galaxy, but can he stand up to the swordmaster who taught him everything he knows--including the mysterious techinque known as "Vaapad"?

New characters and new worlds are revealed as the Clone Wars spreads throughout the galaxy!

This volume collects Star Wars: Republic #49-50 and Star Wars: Jedi -- Mace Windu

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Outstanding!
I was never into comics before this book. It's the artwork that grabbed my attention. It's beautiful! I'm an avid admirer of original artwork so, these illustrations hit the mark. After reading the entire book (in one sitting) I was in love! The storyline is wonderful and there's so much depth in the characters you can't help but love them or dislike them. At the recent Celebration IV convention, I spotted some more of the volumes and bought books 2 through 4 on the spot. I just love them and I can't wait to get the rest in the series.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great comic book!!
This is a great series! Absolutely worth to begin an excellent Star Wars series! The art is great and there are a lot of details and things to watch in these magazines.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An Entertaining Graphic Novel with A Few Stumblings
To the knowledge of any person who has read a Star Wars comic, you get a grab bag of exciting adventure or a headache of boring drivel; the first volume of the Clone Wars graphic novel series is no different. Here, you get five different, self-contained stories (with the exception of Jedi master Quinlan Vos' story, which spans over into a few more volumes of the Clone Wars series) that have to do more or less with the entire Clone Wars saga, and events leading up to those that take place in Episode III.

Two of the five stories I really like; one is slightly interesting only in a whimsical sense; and the other two are just crap put into the graphic novel to thicken it up a little bit and give it some more pages so that the title 'trade paperback' may be more appropriate and fitting. ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Exclellent and superior story
Exclellent artwork and story. Great new character alpha-17. I loved the whole story from beginning to end.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointing...
Although the artwork was well done, the stories were not. They were all over the place and moved at a feverish pitch, not really letting the reader come away with anything. I also didn't care for how they made Asajj Ventress look, I thought she was supposed to be stark white, not all tan and shapely. She is also made out to be way too powerful, which I don't buy. Oh well, I guess it's okay, but I wouldn't recommend it.
