Like so many Star Wars graphic novels, this one is mostly forgettable filler. It’s a collection of separate stories about each of the original-trilogy heroes on a solo adventure (or “Solo adventure,” in Han’s case). My least favorites of the bunch are a strange “last temptation of Luke” story, and the final story about Biggs and Porkins on vacation. That last story could have been good, but the concept seems beyond the writer’s ability. The silliness doesn’t come together in a Tag & Bink kind of...
Far less enjoyable than Age of Republic, the characters of the original trilogy have been so overused, there's nothing else to tell anymore. Luke, Han and Leia were never that interesting individually, they work better when they are interacting with each other, and the more Disney/Marvel keep expanding their individual stories, the less I care, I like them better when they are used as myth and legend.
An enjoyable group of stories.
A bunch of one shots focusing on each of the main characters of the original Star Wars trilogy. There's nothing earth-shattering here and none of the stories connect. It's your basic one and done Star Wars stories.
I really love these comics.Full RTC
Rating: ?? starsThe art in this graphic novel was consistently great throughout. The writing... Well, my favourite stories were Luke and Yoda's, and the others were kind of forgettable. But I see there is a villains version too which I may look into.
The whole conceit of the “Age of Rebellion” (as well as the “Age of Republic” AND forthcoming “Age of Resistance”) series is simple: take a bunch of the most popular characters from arguably the most popular era of Star Wars, then give each character their own one-shot comic. Boom - you’ve got a new series. Collect cash and win.That “Age of Republic – Heroes” works as well as it does is mostly a testament to writer Greg Pak, who does a fine job at making each individual issue feel genuinely rele...
Actual rating is 2.5 stars.This is a collection of short stories that doesn't add much to the overall arc. This collection deals with the heroes of the original trilogy which include Luke, Leia, and Han. Once again a collection that is set in this universe that isn't really needed and seems like a pure cash grab. I will say this one did have some nice tidbits like how Leia decided on her undercover bounty hunter costume for Luke's rescue from Jabba's palace. The most interesting tidbit was how H...
Fun volume focusing around the heroes of the original trilogy. Paks run on the main Star Wars book should be good judging from this
Ranges from pretty good to meh. I enjoyed all of the regular issues, though Leia was of course my favorite. The special just wasn't very good at all. Yoda's story was kind of silly, possibly because there couldn't possibly be much to talk about regarding his time on Dagobah. I'm not sure why we ended up talking about it after all, to be honest. And then there was the really poorly thought out Biggs and Porkins story. It starts and ends well enough, with Porkins feeling burned about about his pla...
Loving these one shots!
Some great short stories that fill in the gaps between the original movies. I liked the Yoda story the best.
Ugh. Just as soon as I was ready to fully embrace Pak and this series, the Heroes collection comes along and completely smashes that hope.Heroes is a waste of time. Other than the Han Solo tale (which explains why Han was never able to pay off Jabba), not a single story here does anything to make Star Wars any deeper or more fun. Plus, there’s already like 5 other comics and one offs covering all these characters. Skip this one and you won’t miss a single thing.
Some small insights into the characters, but overall it doesn't add up to much. This entire series of books feels like a holding pattern while Marvel waits for the current trilogy to finish.
This is, unfortunately, worse than I expected. The art in most of these is really good and decent. Greg Pak writes good characters pretty boringly. Luke Skywalker feels somehow lame, Han's the same story about wanting to leave rebellion but Nah, Lando's heartwarming and somehow middle road and the best is Leia's story with Lando, Chewie and Bossk. The special is in my opinion written very poorly and goofy.I may be very harsh but I was disappointed.
Was very safe. I prefer when theres characters all interact.
This was the volume I was least looking forward to of these collections. The heroes from the original trilogy era have gotten plenty of stories, especially in the ongoing Star Wars comic taking place between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. Thankfully these stories are mostly outside of that specific time frame. Leia is the focus of the first story, which takes place after The Empire Strikes Back. Boushh is featured and some details of how Leia, Chewie, & Lando's plan for Return of the Je...
As expected, the good guys are boring. Luke's story is a bit of an exception. It's good to see him working with the rebels, not just training and fighting Vader.After destroying the Death Star, Han and Chewie think about returning to smuggling. He tries to distance himself from the Rebellion, but one job leads to another and he is dragged back into the fold.Lando is the governor of Cloud City. The financial department isn't going well, so he must resort to some shady business to aquire funds. He...
(Read as Single Issues)This collection of one-off stories about the heroes from the original trilogy has some good art, but none of the stories are sticking with me - it's been maybe an hour since I finished reading and I'm already hard pressed to recall the plots. Lando's doesn't really make much sense although it shows off his inner sense of justice; Han's deals with his denial of how in the Rebellion he really is, Leia shows off her Boussh disguise to rescue Lando, and Luke fights off the Emp...
Covers well-trodden paths, but pleasing enough in the way it does so.
