Star Wars: The Last Jedi Adaptation #1 Review

Marvel have released a new adaptation of the latest Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi, which is spread over 6 parts and retells the movie, but with some slight differences, such as taking out some of the jokes and adding extra scenes.

It does feel like this comic book should have been released months ago, though with the recent home video release, fans of the movie might be interested in picking this title up.

But I do have a little bit of an problem with the comic saying it has some extra scenes that have “Never Been Seen Before”, as there wasn’t nothing extra in this first issue of any value, since seeing Chewbacca and Luke embrace over Han, is just nothing but a small little touch, but just didn’t make this book worth purchasing in my opinion.

It’s got some good artwork, but with it being a adaptation, its the one time the artistic style of the main Star Wars series would have helped. As I just found the faces in this issue to be a little rough around the ages and have no detail.

OVERALL:

Honestly, if you haven’t seen the movie, spend the money from this series on the Blu-Ray and if you’ve seen the movie, this issue isn’t worth reading. I just think trying to cram an entire movie into 6 issues, means so much of the movie has been lost and trying to squeeze in some additional scenes in as well, just results in an average experience and ultimately feels a little pointless. I’d recommend trying out the Star Wars or Darth Vader series instead.

REVIEW SCORE: 6 out of 10
