Format:Paperback
The first of six books collecting a series of short comic book-style stories, this is one of the more worthwhile ones.
Expect a mix. As with other Tales books there are serious stories - action, in a few cases some rather graphic deaths, and serious themes - combined with lighter ones and the downright goofy. Some are amusingly clever - Vader choking someone with the Force, then telling the Emperor it isn't him - there are also some pointless ones.
What's perhaps most entertaining is the new spins the writers and artists put on the established Star Wars galaxy. There are suggestions that what viewers saw in the movies happened because of other unseen events, ridiculous satires of characters and situations and some "continuing adventure"-style tales of known characters.
How'd Lando come to rule Cloud City? How did the Rebels get the Death Star plans? Those are covered. But I confess I skipped the section featuring Jar Jar. The writing was so close to his actual speech that it was just as obnoxious as watching Episode I.
Hopefully there'll be more in the series.
Only beef: the glue on the spine dried out in a week and fell off. Not typical of the other books, but still a tick-off.

Format:Paperback
This graphic novel is a collection of some fifteen (if I counted correctly) stories set in the Star Wars universe. These stories range from the silly to the fascinating, while the artwork ranges from the simplistic to the sublime. My personal favorite was Incident at Horn Station, in which an unnamed Jedi frees a world from the grip of a murderous tyrant.
Overall, I thought that this was very good book, one that I highly recommend to any Star Wars fan.

Format:Paperback
The first story Extinction, is almost worth the purchase price by itself. We Mara Jade, the Emperor, Vader and a tremendous, 15 page light saber fight.
The second story takes us back to Qui-Gon and Obiwan shortly before QGs death.
The pencils very in quality from 2 stars for some stories, to 3.5 for others. The inking varies from 2 stars to 4. None of the artwork is exceptional. The strength of the book is that there are stories that will interest you, and passable artwork. To bad that the fact that different artists were assembled into one book of stories din't produce a higher quality product due to the competition along! It didn't seem to. By the looks of it, some were trying to complete their work faster, not better.
At 224 this is a large comic. Since Dark horse has had trouble producing comics with good binding I was concerned about this offering. The one I have is OK, but these were made in china, where the binding problems exist. The older ones made in Canada were OK.
It was fun to read some of these with my son. For most people I think they will consider these to be 2 to 3 stars in quality, I'll round up to 3 since my son enjoyed them.

All the stories in this book are pure Star Wars. They range from the deadly serious: Extention, to the very funny: A D.I.M.B.S. (Death Star) is born. Read more
