Summary: War of Sith: Magnificent Climax!
Comment: This is a masterpiece! Though some say that this Sith War has no "Sith" or "war" in it, they are dead wrong. The Sith portion of it is littered all throughout, in Exar Kun's powers and ancient weapons. As for the "war" part, there are several battles: 1. Raid of Foerost Shipyards 2. Assault on Coruscant 3. Destruction of Kemplex Nine 4. Battle of the Cron Drift 5. Evacuation of Ossus 6. Invasion of Onderon 7. Showdown at Yavin 4 . . . not to mention the Jedi assassinations! I think that perhaps Kevin J. Anderson weakened the end, when Exar Kun was defeated; it was only 5 comic book pages long! I rate Exar Kun as the most powerful dark Jedi in the Star Wars universe thus far, for, without any resources but himself, it took 14 Jedi to destroy him in "Star Wars: Champions of the Force", whereas even Emperor Palpatine took only two Jedi to defeat him (Luke and Leia in "Dark Empire"). Exar Kun's personal power, plus his hundreds of darkside-focusing pyramids ("Sith temples") meant that it took ALL the Jedi - thousands upon thousands - to defeat him! Plus, in this book, Anderson adds the story of the Mandalorian warriors, whose armor is also Boba Fett's trademark 4000 years later. This is definitely a MUST-READ!

Summary: what a climax!
Comment: This was absolutely wonderful. I've had the book for 2 years and I revisit it's ever-grasping folds all the time. It's terrific that the Jedi actually have a challenge in Exar Kun and Qel-Droma. Before I've always felt that Luke will kill Vader, Boba fett will fail, and the Jedi will always come out on top. NOT HERE! There are times throughout this series (such as Exar Kun's slaughter of the Jedi Masters) when things seem almost hopeless for the Jedi. If you are an avid Star Wars fan who thirsts for more knowledge about the fearless race of warriors who deffended the galaxy for eons, then Tales Of The Jedi is for you.

Summary: Jedi hero Ulic Qel-Droma is tempted by the dark side
Comment: This Comic can be found listed 3 ways. I am reviewing the first of the 3 that is called: Tales of the Jedi - The Sith War written by Kevin J Anderson and published July, 1996 with ISBN 1569711739. This is a dark Horse TPB comic covering issues 1 through 6 of STAR WARS: TALES OF THE JEDI - THE SITH WAR.
Other editions with the same title and cover art are: Titan ISBN 1840231300 published April, 2000 and
TALES OF THE JEDI 3 - THE SITH WAR published by McMillan march, 1997 under ASIN: 075220369X.
I have assigned the timeline year of -3996 before NH to this comic. As did Exar Kun before him and Luke Skywalker 4,000 years later, Jedi hero Ulic Qel-Droma is tempted by the dark side following the murder of master Arca. Before there was Darth Vader, Dark lord of the Sith, there was Ulic Qel-Droma, Dark lord of the Sith.
This comic was written by KJA who has contributed much of the Old Republic Comics. He also did The JEDI ACADEMY trilogy, one of my favorites. Since Kevin also did the SW Essential Chronology we find few continuity problems here. The art and coloring is a in the old style, cartoon strip style, but some of the drawings and dramatic and inspired. Given what Dark horse is turning out now I grade the art a solid "C" grade, though some pages are stunningly awesome.
The action is tremendous. The story is a little hard to follow. Ulic is in the Empress Teta system (not on the galaxy maps produced in the NJO). Ulic is seduced by the Dark side and by Aleema. At about 150 pages long, the story twists and turns and is generally as unpredictable as an episode of LAW AND ORDER.
Made in Canada, the binding is holding up very well. Some of the new TPB's that are now made in China had awful bindings, where the comic can fall apart in your hands, even when you are being careful.
If you have started reading these Old Republic comic and liked them, you'll like this one.
