I found this to be a pretty damn solid read.

It's always a blast revisiting the ancient history of the Star Wars Classic EU. This collection covers a story arc detailing the first contact between the Je'daii of Tython and the Rakatan Infinite Empire, thousands of years before the founding of the Old Republic. The artwork is very evocative, and the characters are all suitably villainous or heroic as befits a semi-mythological pre-lightsaber (kind of) ancient Jedi history.

It's good to see a fun-loving member of the Sith species being one of the Je'daii, a reminder of the convoluted chain of retcon after retcon introduced into the Star Wars continuity to explain just precisely what a Sith was before George Lucas got anywhere close to enlightening the audience in The Phantom Menace. The dialogue is pretty wooden, but then again I wasn't expecting Shakespeare (or even Ian Doescher) from a Star Wars comic collection. Like Jango Fett's clones - the words do their job.

I’m amazed this is sitting currently above an aggregate 4.2 rating on Goodreads when I thought a 3/5 was erring well into generosity. The Dawn of the Jedi series was clearly planning to go other places, but as far as it got, it sort of attempts to flesh out the Rakatan Infinite Empire that predates KOTOR. There’s a lot that just doesn’t work well here. Rancor dragons are silly. The forcesabers in the Legends canon through out the notion of early lightsabers needing waist-mounted or back-mounted I’m amazed this is sitting currently above an aggregate 4.2 rating on Goodreads when I thought a 3/5 was erring well into generosity.

There’s a lot that just doesn’t work well here. Rancor dragons are silly. The forcesabers in the Legends canon through out the notion of early lightsabers needing waist-mounted or back-mounted supply packs and that they run off anger is just...weird and never meaningful to the narrative. The arc itself isn’t really compelling — Xesh turns twice on a dime and his romance with Shae is woefully underdeveloped. Lok is maybe the most interesting character on tap here, but he’s not even really a central character for much of the final arc. How the Rakatans came to power (just by being the scariest bad guys?) when they eat their inferiors and seem to have no culture or familial support structure just makes zero sense. We’ve seen this time and time again in Star Wars, where the desire for a big bad defined as an alien race often forgoes any sort of logic and thereby passes over meaningful character development or opportunities for thematic richness. The more I write here, the more I feel like I’m talking myself into a 2/5...

Great Read If you are a fan, it’s a great spin on the history of the Star Wars universe. Wont disappoint. Love the art work.
