Scott Allie: Star wars omnibus (2011, Dark Horse Books) 3 stars

Review of 'Star wars omnibus' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Mostly darker toned stories set just prior to, concurrent with, or shortly after the first movie. The art is a very mixed bag with some really terrible cheesecake work in some places, the kind that's constantly trying to contort the female form to get their ass and breasts in the same shot.

Most of the stories are forgettable. Even when they have a really good premise, the execution falls short, such as the one from the point of view of a Stormtrooper stationed on the Death Star.

It's not that the stories are bad, just that they aren't that good either. Their biggest problem is that they take themselves way too seriously. In many ways the old cheesy Marvel comics run from the 70s is truer to the spirit of the movies.
