Star Wars: Yoda's Secret War Review



Finished reading Star Wars: Yoda's Secret War, writer Jason Aaron changes the focus of the series to show a story involving Yoda thanks to the use of the journal of Obi-Wan that was left for Luke. The book opens with C-3PO telling the Scar Squadron everything he knows which is no a lot of help to the Empire. Meanwhile with the Rebels R2-D2 takes a X-Wing in hope to rescue C-3PO. When Luke try's to stop him, R2 hacks into Luke's X-Wing to stop him from following and while Luke's back up droid in the ship try's to repair it it gives Luke time to read more of Obi-Wan's journal in where Obi-Wan recites a story Yoda told him about the time he went to a distant planet run by two factions of children after feeling a disturbance in the force calling to him. The second story within the book takes place on the planet Skorii-Lei as former engineer Pash Davane has found an injured Princess Leia and finds herself in a predicament with what to do with Leia as multiple Stormtroopers are out look for the Princess and Pash blames both factions for the lost of life and jobs thanks to the war. Overall this was an amazing book as writer Jason Aaron tells a captivating story focusing of an adventure that Yoda went on which leads to him discovering a different aspects of the force thanks to the people he meets and interacts with, while also showing some great action moments. The story centring around Pash by writer Kelly Thompson is great as it brings the view of the every day person of the Star Wars universe towards the Rebellion and the Empire, while bring some amazing character development for Leia as it gives some insight to how she deals with the destruction of her home world. The art throughout the book is amazing as Salvador Larroca draws a Yoda that looks like he has been taking straight from the film's and brings the locations to life extremely well. While Emilio Laso's artwork in the last story of the book brings the world of Skorii-Loi to life a extremely well which also show some amazing detail in the characters emotions throughout the story. 9/10.
