Previous||Next Target Vader is another one of those comic books I checked out of my local library in search of a topic to write about as part of this weekly column. I love Darth Vader (who doesn't?) and the premise of him being hunted, while a fixed conclusion, can provide for plenty of entertainment, if... Continue Reading →
Previous || Next Joy to the world, I'm but a step away from the seventh and last volume of Doctor Aphra's first run. Between you and me, dear reader, I loved this volume. Loved it. Remember how I told you not to get used to the consistent art style and direction of the previous volume?... Continue Reading →
Previous || Next The good Doctor is back, and running for her life with her dearest pal, the homicidal protocol droid Triple-Zero. The two frenemies are in quite the bind--as soon as they grow further than 20 metres apart, the explosives implanted in their necks will arm, and go ka-BLOOEY! Grizzly, but what's a little...

I enjoy works set out as prequels to the prequel trilogy - Master and Apprentice is one of my most favourite reads. I didn't always like Darth Maul, but catching up on the Clone Wars series has warmed me up to ol' Red'n'Spiky! And if I needed another reason, just look at that cover. It... Continue Reading →
Some spoilers ahead. This is the most conflicted I've been when it comes to poor, tortured Chelli Aphra. On one hand, some of the dialogue in the second and third issues of this volume make for a downright gag-inducing reaction. Some of the jokes are bad, owed to the kind of self-referential humour you'd get... Continue Reading →
I love Star Wars day, don't you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sunMBA651Xw This clip accurately represents my feelings for Star Wars every May 4th To mark the celebration, I viewed one of the few remaining arcs of the Clone Wars I hadn't seen yet -- The Shadow Collective, composed of the following episodes: ‘Revival’, 514 ‘Eminence’, 515 ‘Shades of...

Somehow I managed to miss out on talking about the final issue of the previous volume, The Last Padawan, reviewed last week here. All the more power to me, as it was very open-ended - I'm lucky to be able to read both volumes practically in bulk, I'd have chewed my leg off if I... Continue Reading →
No matter how widely you read, there's always new Star Wars titles to check out. I have no ambition of reading all of them; I don't even have the desire to do so. Not all Star Wars releases are good - something the latest movie has reminded us all too well. But I refuse to... Continue Reading →
Concept art of Kreia. At the heart of the best-written video game based on the Star Wars universe is Kreia, a complex character who serves to voice criticism against, and complicate, the way we perceive the Force. Kreia, known also as Darth Traya, was a Jedi Master turned Sith after her exile at the hands... Continue Reading →
It is a dark time in the galaxy. So what better way to alleviate the darkness than via a selection of memes based on everyone's favourite space opera?! DISCLAIMER: I've made none of these memes, I've merely saved them over the years. We all know the bothans are incompetent, Admiral Ackbar Just Confirms it. Here... Continue Reading →
