Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy: A Graphic Novel by Alessandro Ferrari
3.0
3.5 stars
I will love Star Wars until the day I die, and I really loved the style of the illustrations, but upon turning the final page I was left with a feeling of wishing there had been...something more.
It’s a pretty faithful adaptation, overall. Obviously some bits and pieces had to be cut/shortened in the transition from screen to page, but it’s still sad to see some of my favourite lines missing, or iconic scenes stripped down to a panel or two when others get a full spread (and frankly, they didn’t need it). Unfortunately the location jumps that work so cheekily well in the movies just don’t function as smoothly on in this medium.
All in all, it’s basically a condensed highlights reel of the prequel trilogy. But that said, I’ll still buy it at some point for my personal library because that’s what I do when I love illustrations (and I really loved the size of the book).
