Review : Empire 6 In the Shadows of their Fathers

This must have been the fastest read for me, ever. I liked, sailed through the 70 odd pages of the TPB in 1 night. Not because it was engrossing but more to find out if there was more to the story. I finished the collection days ago but only found time to write this today. Do you want the rating first or a review? I'll put you out of your misery, this tpb I give 1 of 5 stars. Its bad, storyline was abysmal, everything else was nothing to hype about. It continues the Jabiim storyline of Anakin's era into Luke's period. In the tpb, Clone Wars vol 3 Last Stand on Jabiim, Anakin has abandoned the planet after giving so much hope to its freedom fighters in their hour of need against a separatist invasion. Although the order was not of his own, the Jabiimi people placed all abandonement of hope on Anakin, the Jedi who would and could have led them to victory against the separatist. Some 20 years later, after the victory at Yavin, Leia brings a small convoy to rally the Jabiimi's to the rebels' cause, to unite as one against the Empire. But, the Jabiimis, now with resentment in heir hearts and bitter to any outsiders help, refused to be allies. And the situation becomes worse when they found out that the seed of Anakin, ie Luke is amongst them. From here onwards, it gets bad. And the act of redemption for Luke to turn the Jabiimi rebels to forgive Anakin's past was a bit too weak in my opinion. Just because Luke insisted to repel away an Empires' invasion force, which really came to nought anyways since the Empire subjugated all the Jabiimi people into slavery and blasted the planet surface to smithereens in the end, Luke was "let off", just like that. Duhhh!!! lame, lame, lame ... And the alien species,Tiss'shar looked just like the Ssiruuvi from The Truce at Bakura. Can't they think of any other species to be drawn in?
