On the part of Je'daii it was decided to incredible steps and the exiled Daegen Lok not only retrieved from Bogan, but even appointed General of Je'daii forces. Only Master Rajivari is him now paramount, because the commands the total force. The Je'daii have built power swords after Xeshs plans and to use this a very problematic decision daring, namely to use the dark side for the defense of the Rakata. The balance of power was tipped ...
- A "legendary" Finale -
DAWN OF THE JEDI was one of the last long and perhaps the most epic Star Wars comic series under the banner of Dark Horse. With the change of the comic license to Marvel and complete reboot of the Expanded Universe of DAWN OF THE JEDI to LEGACY DAWN is now virtually wandered into the realm of the "legends", quite literally. Until someday somebody picks up the events of Dawn or touches will remain unclear whether the story is still relevant or completely fall out of continuity. The Tho Yors which time settlement and all sorts of critically considered decisions (like Noghri Dathomiri and Sith as Je'daii) you would DAWN any case brought in a position that is somewhat different from the rest of the EU apart and perhaps why could survive rather than stories like Knights of the Old Republic.
Whatever about the origins of the Sith or the Jedi Order after Episode VII-IX (flashbacks are not expected, but perhaps as many times as thrown sentence), the Je'daii could occupy a place in this new order and from Daegen locomotives followers could then well be the first Sith.
- Write history rather than writing stories? -
Leaving aside the laymen currently incomprehensible distortions in the Star Wars continuity once ignored, so FORCE WAR provides a readable final for the DAWN OF THE JEDI Arc. What I like the reader of a large franchises always works fill the gaps and work backgrounds, instead of leaving somewhere anyone experiencing anything achso great. The latter brings Star Wars works well every now and then accused a to be little better than fan fiction. And frankly, so unjustified that criticism is not. A completely interchangeable Jedi Master as Mander Zuma to send in a completely interchangeable adventure (just as happened in SCOURGE) you might as well experience in fan fiction. Star Wars as a novelist and comic franchise impressed rarely by the quality of published under the Star Wars banner stories. Here in any Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Dark Tower or other genre epic written but often only to licensed fan fiction.
What can franchise managers now to beat in this new age still capitalizing on its brand? One uses the official continuity as a unique feature of the official works. And the first wave of Star Wars novels to the big Reboot 2014 corresponds exactly to this strategy. A novel about Tarkin, Luke Episode IV and the team Vader & Sidious in the middle of enemy territory. Each of these novels not only tells some story like EMPIRE AND REBELLION a year earlier, but each of these novels makes history. Each novel of this new unit continuity is highly relevant to the new continuity. All James Luceno describes in Tarkin will lay the foundation for how this person will be well represented by the reboot of the franchise. These new stories may even be in another way, later historians dictate the direction and practically the limit "creativity".
FORCE WAR has been precisely such a story-writing comic, he suffers to have originated only including just before the reboot. Was connected with the history of Je'daii the Rakata, illuminated what led to the decline of the Infinite Empire, but also tells of an even earlier epoch in galactic history, as the Kwa fled to Dathomir and abschalteten their version of a Stargate network.
- An exciting piece of history -
In some scenes FORCE WAS really acts precipitously and this is due to the brevity of this story-arcs, which had to take out ten books in five comprehensive history book editions. In the first war power now comes together. Xeshs new role is put to the test, Trill is betraying forced her lover Sek'nos Rath, Daegen Lok seems to have his life's work found and then there are the Rakata, that we indeed know is that they will eventually failing at a power connection are perishing, whose entire technology but it is also based on the use of power. To what extent Tython the Rakata was fatal and whether the legendary Force Wielder (Mortis) may have played a role reveals FORCE WAR.
And by the way leaves FORCE WAS appear the Force Wars of the Old Republic in a different light. How do we know there was one champion Rajivari indeed one of the founders of the Jedi Order, then led but probably to a rebellion against the new bright side prescribed order. Rajivaris Force Wars and the existence of the Flesh Raider on Tython some millennia later might go hand in hand with FORCE WAR. That for my taste anyway beautiful in the final of FORCE WAR is the way in which John Ostrander and Jan Duursema let this development options open.
- Loose threads -
Ends DAWN OF THE JEDI too early? As Knight Errant, invasion or Lost Tribe of the Sith has also DAWN finally become one of the "failed" projects of the late Dark Horse era. It looked actually really good for the number of, but unlike LOST TRIBE and Knight Errant it is due less to lack of sales, that number was set at an early stage, but simply the exchange of licenses by Dark Horse Comics to Marvel. Thus DAWN OF THE JEDI and actually successful LEGACY Volume 2 had to end. Now maybe you can criticize, you would already much earlier a bit off at DAWN because this way the gear and to publish more editions in shorter periods of time (to keep around with LEGACY II step), but it is now too late anyway ,
Finally, we remain of DAWN OF THE JEDI some loose plot threads, which although can be partly hand associate with components of the old canon, but sometimes can also be very reader unsatisfied. What happens with the followers Daegen locomotives? If Sek'nos Rath perhaps the legendary Sith King Adas? What is Master Ketu as head of the Temple of balance for what happened? What will become of the Tho Yor?
But the first power war is sealed at least with a unique final stroke. Perhaps no one with a happy ending for everyone, but the end is still a little rounder than in many other works.
- This has something of a Star Wars -
Star Wars or Star Wars - one can call the Franchise as you want, but in essence it is based on a diffuse collection of narrative concepts and principles. A hero who has become a hero only and ultimately provides the greatest personal challenge of his life, but first has to fall on your nose only a few times. And all the while an angry superpower on a underlying enemy swoops down, which can only bring himself with a lot of effort to resist and always seems to be trapped in the role of underdogs.
DAWN OF THE JEDI not only shares the label with STAR WARS, the series also tries to really give rise to the elusive Star Wars feel. Even lightsabers offers DAWN already and also the color range has increased in contrast to its predecessors. Just seeing the Rakata Walker more like from drawings to War of the Worlds from, because as those walkers that we know from the movies. However, the Rakata as alien race play a convincing role as adversaries for the heroes.
The Rakata empire is profoundly evil and uses this malignancy proverbial as a drive. Connoisseurs of Knights of the Old Republic I know why. The Rakata use the dark side of power as a drive and key for all of its technologies. Rakata weapons can be operated only from power receptive, controlling their ships only power receptive and that's why it will take centuries after the fall of the Infinite Empire, until the former slaves of Rakata be able to see also taking lightsabers and hyperspace drives in operation , In addition, the Rakata technology is precisely adjusted to the dark side, which is another hurdle.
The Rakata are also a kind of ancient barbarian race that were placed far too early by the Kwa with advanced technology in touch. The cannibalistic Rakata attracted consequently made and submitted most of the galaxy, they could hardly fail and they would disabuse and let go of the dark side, they would lose any ability to use their spaceships, weapons and technology. A perfect target for those Rakata, who want to continue to live as barbaric masters of the galaxy.
This contrasts with the Je'daii, an order which was perhaps precisely why created by higher powers to prevent the Rakata one day taking Tythons. The Je'daii lived in harmony with the power, to the increasing darkness now becomes a problem. The Je'daii are not perfect heroes, they have their apostate and remember in their temporary inaccuracy in these ossified Jedi Order of the Clone Wars. The result then is reminiscent somehow back to the story of the Skywalker family, only darker, which at one author John Ostrander should not be surprising, since this has already written the very gloomy LEGACY Volume I.
- Too large character ensemble? -
As the late LEGAVY Vol. I also suffers DAWN under an excessive number of characters that were from time to time in the spotlight and have calls for more attention. After FORCE STORM so acted as one would here once each introduced, which will henceforth play a major role came with PRISONER OF BOGAN additional characters added. At the same time the final is now even hard time doing at all only the four main characters concede due time in the spotlight. Instead drifts FORCE WAS towards Xesh-Shae Koda history from. In the supporting roles Sek'nos Rath, Trill, Daegen Lok and Tasha Ryo. With Special Guest Appearance of Predor Skal'nas. And by the way appeared the rest on yet.
While Ostrander struggling all his storylines to get again under one roof affects the story as if it would always be erratic and to offer no longer any of the characters enough time to develop.
An example of how some storylines are virtually degenerate into a compulsory exercise is the case Sek'nos Raths. This has painful experience what it feels like a real war and then even betrayed by Trill. Sek'nos whole idea of what it means will be a Je'daii doubted. The radiant knight and womanizer is not thrilled to have to resort to the dark side to the use of his power sword. Only he is by this bitterness a trailer Daegen locomotives or founding member of the Jedi Order, who has the fight against the dark side prescribed?
- A summary -
DAWN OF THE JEDI was not easy to find its fans. Some fans were angry with John Ostrander yet for Legacy because he chose for his next project, a completely unexplored era. And Ostrander made it not easy. The well-designed 50 books project came very early to a halt. The books came more slowly and then as the comic license for Star Wars works back to Marvel fell it was not necessarily come a long way when it came to the progress of DAWN. Unlike Knight Errant or Lost Tribe of the Sith DAWN OF THE JEDI, however, was created as a truly continuous narrative and not a collection of different episodes.
Together with Tim Lebbons Roman has made the series despite their inglorious end a lot and opened an interesting era of the Star Wars universe. They told a story, yet the early history of the Jedi Order lit, the Rakata involved therein, created a shortcut to the Old Republic and by the way still Linked to the Mortis trilogy. All this on top of that with a quite Star Wars-grade history.
