I bought all of these comics when they came out originally. As a kid I lived for every new Star Wars story. Rereading them made me chuckle. Their was no canon at the time and the Marvel writers just went hog wild. If you have a problem with Jar Jar you are going to love Jax. This was the only way to get extra Star Wars while you waited for the movie. They sold incredibly well at the time.

Some of the stories are great but others don't hold up well. I would have given them a 5 as a kid now they are more like a 3.5. A great walk down memory lane.

The collection of the old Star Wars comic series from my youth. Any good? A lot of times, I can't say that for sure, but still, they are from my youth, when I was totally in to Star Wars. So, five stars.

Not as great as the original movie, A New Hope. Cartoons are exaggerated, especially the muscularity of the men and the curves of women, which irks me to no end. Also, I have to keep reminding myself that when these comics where first in print, no one knew that Darth Vader was Luke's father...
