Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi

review 1: My rating is 2.5 stars.This is a series that takes many, many years before the original trilogy. It provides an insight to the mysticism of the Force. Eight pyramids from around the galaxy collect species and travels to a planet where a giant pyramid is located. On this planet these collected beings become students of the force where the try to maintain a balance between light and dark. A force hound who sides with the dark side lands on the planet and throws everything out of whack on the planet and natives try to restore balance.Let me first say the artwork is excellent. I enjoyed the history and the setup for this story and there was a storyline that was touched upon and I wish it went into more detail. I had problems with the main storyline. The time was suppose to bef... moreore lightsabers and hyperspace but meanwhile the antagonist arrives as if it was no problem an he has a forcesaber. As of the main storyline I wish it went into more exposition rather than action scenes. The action scenes were great but I would like to know why the force hound is being sent to wipe out force beings. During this book I felt like I was missing something. I did enjoy the characters and their interaction with each other. The highlight for me was the the planet's native animals. The detail in their artwork was fantastic.In my opinion not the best start for a series. I will continue with it if the second issue falls into my hands but I will not go out of my way to attain it.
review 2: Dawn of the Jedi by John Ostrander is possibly the closest you'll get to the earliest points of the Star Wars universe. To the very birth of the Jedi Order and all the stuff that follows with it. Except... Y'know, it's a "Jed'ai" order. And the light side is a planet. And the dark side is a moon.The characters are bland, and the dialogue is extremely simplistic. But the story itself is fun, and the fights are good. Environments are interesting as well, but besides that there's not much to say. If you're a Star Wars fan interested in the origins of the Sith & Jedi, it's worth investing in this. less
