What was training Anakin like? Short answer: it makes for a great comic mini-series. The basic setup is Obi-Wan and Anakin are sent by the Jedi Council to investigate a distress signal sent out on a barren planet in the outer rim. Upon arrival they discover a civil war between the inhabitants, and have no knowledge of who contacted them and why. It is from here our story begins. Interspersed throughout the comic are flashbacks to Anakin training at the Jedi Temple, where we begin to see how he was during the 10 years between Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones (this is set 3 years after Menace, making Anakin 12), and the weight Obi-Wan feels training him. I want to talk about more, but do not want to risk spoiling this great addition to the Star Wars canon and is definitely worth your time. Review: the greatest Star Wars comic! - It arrived pristine and new, on-time. The pictures were stunning, the plot interesting and easy enough to follow (although the summary made me sad again when they HAD to mention Mustafar). Other than the Mustafar thing, I have no complaints, whatsoever. Even that is just a minor thing. This comic is FLAWLESS, 100/100 would recommend!

New Adventure set in Star Wars premise
Really enjoyed this story! They brought in a new adventure to read about while providing good back story around the central Star Wars premise and characters. Loved this look at the relationship between Anakin and Obi Wan and the Jedi.

Quite Good
This is definitely not the best Star Wars story I've ever read, but it most definitely isn't the worst either. Being a fan of the prequel era and the relationship of Obi-wan and Anakin, this graphic novel was a great edition to Disney's new cannon. The art is top notch to go along with a pretty decent narrative that reminded me of the old cannon books such as the Jedi Apprentice or Jedi Quest line from the old cannon. The setting, being a new planet that felt like a steam punk world, was quite an interesting addition. However, I did not find the inhabitants of that planet to be all that interesting. What stuck out to me was the dynamic between Obi-Wan and Anakin. It delved into the idea of how does destiny and free will co-exist in the life of a Jedi? How does one choose what the right thing to do is in the service of the Galactic Senate. Overall, this was absolutely worth a read.

A good read.
I really liked this issue as it brings us to a time we really don't get to see in the new cannon. A young Anakin and Obi wan crash on to a planet that's been destroyed by it's inhabitants and must make the two sides come together. It shows how Palpatine is planting the seeds of trust, and shows us how flawed the Republic can be. Overall I think it was a good read and provides some good background into the new cannon.

Great Art! Great Story!
This is a great read and gives some good background into the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin, as well as showing how Palpatine's grooming of Anakin started at a very young age. The art is amazing as well. My only gripe is that I feel like this is too short. This definitely should've been an ongoing series.

Great, but the read is too fast and more of this tale needs to be told...
Finally a Canon story between Episodes 1 and 2. Anakin deals with an inner conflict concerning his relationship with the Jedi order, and Obi-Wan questions his effectiveness as Anakin's teacher. Chancellor Palpatine begins his insidious manipulations of Anakin. A well told story that begins to fill a gap in the storyline.

More, more please!
Quite possibly one of the most intriguing Star Wars comics I've read. I wish more stories could be set on this planet in this culture as I find it endlessly fascinating. One of my favorite graphic arts in a comic ever, as well.

Une semaine seulement après ma première lecture de ce comics, il m'est déjà difficile d'écrire un commentaire, car il n'y a rien, dans ce volume, qui soit réellement mémorable. Certes, le divertissement est assuré et les pages défilent presque d'elles-mêmes : l'action bat son plein et se trouve constamment magnifiée par des illustrations souvent splendides, d'une manière qui semble caractériser la plupart des productions Star Wars éditées par Marvel. Mais voilà, passé le grand spectacle, il n'y a plus vraiment d'os à rogner et l'univers s'évanouit une fois le livre refermé -ce qui n'est pas vraiment digne de la franchise Star Wars, les fans en conviendront sans doute. Pourtant, ce comics est important. Hormis ce qui se rattache aux séries télévisées Clone Wars et Rebels (je pense en particulier à la série Kanan et au roman A New Dawn ), ce volume est le premier élément du nouveau canon à s'inscrire dans le contexte de la prélogie. L'initiative est d'autant plus appréciable que la période séparant la Menace Fantôme et l'Attaque des Clones est l'une des plus pauvrement développée, y compris dans l'ancien Univers Etendu (avec quelques exceptions notables comme The Approaching Storm et la série Jedi Quest). Elle a pourtant été riche en péripéties de diverses sortes, comme le suggère le bref dialogue entre Anakin et son maître Obi-Wan au tout début de l'Attaque des Clones. C'est donc l'une de ces aventures qui nous est offerte ici, laquelle se déroule entièrement sur le théâtre d'une planète ravagée par la guerre, et remplie de créatures dégénérées à l'apparence soigneusement travaillée. Elle est néanmoins entrecoupée de quelques flashbacks se déroulant à Coruscant, et qui constituent peut-être les éléments les plus intéressants de l'histoire. Ils gravitent toutefois autour d'un événement qui ne me paraît pas s'inscrire dans la continuité du personnage d'Anakin, mais qui a au moins le mérite d'exister. Je ne peux en dire plus sans gâcher le plaisir de la découverte. L'intrigue principale est correcte, mais sans originalité ; les personnages qui apparaissent et disparaissent au fil des pages ne sont, malheureusement, jamais suffisamment étoffés. Une fois encore, le déchaînement effréné des combats prend le pied sur le développement psychologique des personnages et les relations qu'ils peuvent nouer entre eux -à l'opposé d'une tendance pourtant fertile dans l'industrie du comics actuelle et représentée de manière paradigmatique par la célèbre série The Walking Dead. Connaissant l'importance, dans la trame de la saga Star Wars, du tandem Obi-Wan/Anakin, on aurait pu espérer quelque chose d'un peu plus fignolé qu'une somme de clichés sans consistance rapidement véhiculés par un flot ininterrompu de combats spectaculaires. La conclusion, cependant, par sa dimension amère et cynique que ne masque qu'à peine le discours moralisateur d'Obi-Wan, constitue l'un des points forts de cette petite historiette, et tranche un peu avec le caractère policé et convenu du reste du récit. En conclusion : un bel ouvrage bien dessiné, divertissant, mais qui n'apporte rien de concret à l'univers ; la relation maître-padawan notamment, dont l'importance cruciale est soulignée par un titre évocateur, manque tristement de profondeur. L'intrigue, qui sert de toile de fond à cette relation, sert de prétexte à une succession d'escarmouches époustouflantes, et n'apporte pas d'intérêt en soi, mis à part par sa conclusion, sombre et un brin originale.

Come da oggetto. Uno dei migliori fumetti di star wars che ho letto... Spero vadano avanti con la storia. Obiwan è un mito!

Glorious Star Wars awesomeness; great story and beautiful artwork. Really love the pencil artist's ability to accurately portray the characters' faces and draw tactile hands. Very happy!

Un gran Comic, si te gusta la saga de Star Wars es un cómic para tener sobretodo por la calidad de los dibujos. Cuidado con la selección porque el texto está en inglés.

Truly excellent comic book. Wonderful art, compelling story and captures the difficulties between a master and padawan. Also, a fantastic and unexpected look into Palpatine's relationship with a young Anakin.
