Could the prequels have been good without old Georgie boy at the helm? Maybe – but in the hands of writer Jody Houser, these new stories set within that age remain resolutely cancerous!
The standalone issues are heavily flavoured like each of the godawful movies. Qui-Gon’s issue is Phantom Menace-lite, Obi-Wan and Padme’s are Attack of the Clones and Anakin’s is Revenge of the Sith.
The stories are such pointless dull-in-one nothings. They don’t add anything to the characters or world and are just more useless and unentertaining filler for anyone wondering what happened in between the prequels (more of the same tedious guff that was in the movies apparently). Worse is Houser inserting quotes from those movies and – get the puke bucket – even Jar Jar makes an appearance!
Star Wars: Age of Republic – Heroes are boring comics for boring movies. Prequels fans deserve this book.
