Here's the conclusion to the third trilogy in graphic novel form. Again, it's too bad this will never be a movie. They were fun to read, but lacked the freshness of the original trilogy.
The biggest problem here is Emporer Palpatine's self-perpetuation through his clone farm. It's just absurd. Yes, it's sci-fi, but I don't like it. Plus, this sort of story has to rely on lots of coincidences, but the accidental discovery of descendants of a lost band of Jedi knights, who still retain use of the force, albeit in a different way, is pretty far-fetched as well. The worst was the discovery of a "pocket of space where an entire race of people live cut off from the rest of the galaxy." And it happens to be ruled by a Jedi king!
But I still like seeing the continuing adventures of a domesticated yet still roguish Han Solo, the brave and principled Leia, the fussy C-3PO, and the intrepid R2-D2. There are hundreds of expanded universe novels and stories out there, but if you like the movies and just want to see that story line continued, this is the place to look.
