Summary: Solid Reading for Star Wars fans
Comment: If you are one of those folks with a vivid imagination and have played "what if" scenarios in your mind for Star Wars: ANH over the years, this comic is good for you.
The story is generally solid and the artwork is decent. The book only gets 4 stars though for the end parts, which I found a little strange with a little bit of unexplained information.
But still worth it for most star wars fans!

Summary: A great book, with a great story.
Comment: This comic-novel tells a What-If story. What if Luke Skywalker's torpedoes had detonated short of their target, leaving the Deathstar intact? With the rebellion crushed, the Emperor has new schemes under way, and Leia Organa is part of them. While Luke trains with Yoda, the Emperor refashions Leia into the perfect tool, and now it is up to Luke, Han, Chewie, Threepio and Yoda to set the universe right.
This is a great book, with a great story. Honestly, from the cover, I expected a dark tale that ground the original characterizations into hamburger. Instead, this story takes the exact same characters as the original Star Wars movie, and moved them through a new set perils. Each character acted the way you would expect, giving the story a real sense of continuity with the movie.
Further, I found the story to be quite interested, and was held reading until the very end. This is a great Star Wars book, excellently illustrated, that I highly recommend to all readers!

Summary: Intersting concept that falls a little short
Comment: For the hardcore Star Wars junkie the appeal of the 'Infinites' series is immediately apparent. Who amongst us isn't curious to see how alternative scenarios would've played out in the Star Wars universe should certain key events not have taken place. In this volume readers are presented with the intriguing scenario on what happens when Luke Skywalker fails to blow up the Death Star as we've come to know based on events in Episode IV. Readers are taken through an epic arc that would've encompassed 3 full movies but somehow seem boiled down to general thumbnail sketches thanks to the cramming of this storyline into four issues of 22 page comics. Surely this series should've been stretched out a bit more to fill in the blanks and to embellish the drama a bit more.
With that being said, it's still worth your while to read through this series if you find the idea of such alternate-scenarios in the Star Wars universe to be of interest.
