Just as good if not better than the 1st. Definitely different qualities to them. This one being more goal or plot oriented. There wasn't much filler, except maybe the last 2, or so, issues. I'll talk about those last 2 issues in a bit. Less comedy than the 1st volume. It does fit very well into the E.U. (continuity is a very important criteria for me). I already mentioned the related works to these volumes in my review of the 1st volume. I did see next to the synopsis that the next chronological comic after this KOTOR comic is: Star Wars The Old Republic: Blood of the Empire. The climax of this volumes was really tense. It's the game changer that makes you stamp the seal of approval. About those last 2 issues. Imagine them as the next 2 episodes of the next season, were this comic a tv show. This volume gave us a satisfying conclusion to what got us into this comic to begin with. Then, there's these last 2 issues that were suppose to entice us to buy the next volume but they were boring. There was a dull character introduced in those last 2 issues that really didn't help. Whatever plot was the writeres were hyping for vol 3 didn't really move me. Moving forward, of course I'll read the next volume. I'm not going to judge a whole comic on 2 or so issues. Also, we readers are quite invested into the characters by now. With such a power climax and some lose ends that need answering, I'm sure vol 3 will be rewarding too.

The way the story branches out, then reintersects, is quite well done. In this dangerous time generated by the Empire's actions the main characters must struggle in their own way to survive. The only downside is that the action is slower than in first volume and Vader still does nothing.Order 66 resulted in many deaths for the Jedi. It created just enough confusion to overwhelm some Jedi, but others were on their toes. This arc begins with a Jedi sacrificing herself to protect the youngings on Coruscant that are training to become Jedi. Her partner master K'Kruhk takes the survivors under his wing, though he is initially unsure how to proceed.(view spoiler)[On the Uhumele Bomo is still depressed about losing his family. Crys, another crewmember, has also lost family because of the war. During the attack that killed her husband she decided to send her son to be trained as a Jedi in Coruscant. After the younglings of the temple were reported to have been killed she believes him dead. In reality, he was saved by K'Kruhk along with several other trainees.The Uhumele crew led by Heren try to sell some important contraband only to be betrayed by the buyer. Then he in turn gets betrayed by his own men led by Lumbra. Heren was prepared for this mishap. He replaced and booby-trapped the contents, which led to Lumbra's ship crash-landing on the planet where K'Kruhk and the younglings have made their home.The Uhumele crew are being tortured for the location of the true contraband. Bomo manages to escape and to single-handedly defeat their captors. The experience brings him closer to the Uhumele crew. He is their equal now.Lumbra captures the younglings, earning himself a cutting in half by K'Kruhk who swore to protect them. It is decided to depart the planet in favor of another, hopefully safer, location. (hide spoiler)]

But his days as a renegade won't end there! Zayne's search for justice will continue to Coruscant, where he'll confront his Master, Lucien Draay, and the members of the Jedi Covenant in a showdown that will end his days as a fugitive in one way…or another.Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic continues the story set nearly four thousand years before the rise of the Empire and the fall of Anakin Skywalker (and seven years prior to the events in the Knights of the Old Republic video game). This volume collects issues #29-#35.

Bullet Review:I really feel JJM stepped it up with this volume. He embraced his new plot and dove in which is exactly what KOTOR needed. Exploring Jarael's background - as well as Chantique's - was really a keen move too.Jarael is one of the best written female characters in Star Wars, up there with Mara Jade and Princess Leia. Maybe not the most glowing of compliments, but true.Full Review:This volume embraces the Crucible storyline dealing with Jarael's past (set up in the previous volume) and runs with it. Zayne and Jarael are determined to bring down the Crucible, the crew that has been abducting people and forcing them to fight for years.After the Covenant storyline was wrapped up in "Vindication", I was wary about the direction of KOTOR. Many series lose their way when their primary storyline ends - and even KOTOR felt like it might have fallen that way with the beginning of "Dueling Ambitions" volume 7. Fortunately, JJM started exploring Jarael's character, really pushing the envelope there (how often do you see a main character being a former SLAVER?)."Destroyer" takes that concept and runs full bore with it.The first story, drawn by Ron Chan, addresses Malak and the Republic. The Jedi are now neck-deep in the war with the Mandalorians and Malak wants Jarael to join. Art is a bit weird at times here, though it was a great break from Bong. I thought it odd that Malak only tried to sway Jarael and not also Zayne, but what do I know?The second story is where the Crucible plot really takes off. This is drawn by Bong Dazo, and while there was some of his typical goofiness in the panels (in one panel, Jarael looks more like a dancing slave girl than the lead slaver, which lead to some confusion on my part when she took the reins of the conversation), the story was great.But the last one - WOWSER! Brian Ching draws this, and it's dark and gritty, and absolutely wonderful! The end of this one was heart-breaking and aggravating - I wanted to grab Zayne and yell, "WHY ARE YOU BELIEVING HER??!"To some, that may sound like my similar complaints in other books, where I actually didn't like the characters or the story. While Zayne isn't my favorite character here (he's a bit too bland for my tastes), that's not why the scene generated that reaction. People in real life make MISTAKES. We believe the person we shouldn't, listen to advice that is bad, and aren't perfect. When I see a loved one say something that I know is wrong, I similarly want to grab them by the shoulders and go, "No, listen to me, you have it wrong!"THAT is much different than wanting to strangle a character who is too stupid to live, who constantly makes the wrong decision (and yet always ends up coming out OK in the end) or who has to rely on someone else to constantly save his/her skin.Really, this whole series is about nuanced, intrigue, complicated characters. Jarael isn't a damsel in distress. Sometimes she needs to be saved - but so does Zayne or Gryph or Rohlan or Slyssk. Zayne isn't perfect; sometimes he is duped by those around him. Gryph may be greedy for money, but there is also some compassion in him. And so on. And so forth.These are the types of characters I love to see in a story - characters who aren't perfect Mary Sues, but aren't also the anti-Mary Sue (nobody likes me, everybody hates me, why don't I eat some worms? type of character). They are characters with depth, with strengths and weaknesses that the author isn't afraid to let them mess up once in awhile.Rambling aside, this was really good, not as good as the Covenant storyline, but much better than volume 7. Definitely excited to move on to Volume 9! I can't believe I'm getting so close to the end!

Jedi Dass Jennir and his companion Bomo Greenbark survived the Clone Wars, but the fate of Bomo's wife and daughter remains a mystery. The two friends are determined to find them, but their path leads them from danger to darkness--where each of them stands to lose more than they may hope to gain.Meanwhile, Darth Vader must deal with some unpleasant realities--and memories--of his own. Though he is a Dark Lord of the Sith, even he must bow before the power of the Emperor.Collecting: Star Wars: Dark Times 1-5

Clint Eastwood, is it you?Dark Horse's Empire's End was a messy trainwreck of a comic book, but this sequel of it is unexpectly one of best Extended Universe tale ever, with its great cast of characters and giving their moment of glory to Palpatine's Royal Guards, who had something like 5 minutes of screen time in The Return of the Jedi.Storyline totally nailed the Star Wars franchise's essence with his badass antihero main character, the evil villain and their relationship, one obsessed with duty and the other one with lust for power, Vader and Wedge's cameo were great ones, and Gulacy/Craig Russell are gust an artists dream team for me.Far better than expected.

In Chapter 1: Knights of the Old Republic Volume 5, a terrible vision reaching far into the future alerts the secret Jedi Covenant to the importance of Taris, and they activate operative Celeste Morne. She encounters a monstrous threat, an ancient Sith artifact, an army of Mandalorians, and Zayne Carrick, the Padawan accused of killing his fellow students! Then, over 4,000 years into the future, Chapter 2 of "Vector" - Volume 3 of Dark Time - crosses into the period immediately following the events in Revenge of the Sith. The unfortunate misfit crew of the Uhumele is thrown into the path of Darth Vader and the now-ancient Jedi Master Celeste! Both Sith and smugglers will not leave this meeting without grave consequences . . .Book Details: \

Former Padawan—and former fugitive—Zayne Carrick is taking his life in a new direction. Along with his con-artist best friend Gryph, the beautiful, bold, and mysterious Jarael, and ex-Mandalorian warrior Rohlan, our bumbling yet lovable hero is ready to embark on the sort of adventures only possible in the Star Wars universe! In "Prophet Motive," it's a long-shot swindle gone wrong; in "Faithful Execution," it's a ghost ship and renegade droids; and in "Dueling Ambitions," it's combat sports and high-speed racing.• Don't miss out on this action-filled collection of Knights of the Old Republic—it's the beginning of a new era for our cast of characters, and the perfect jumping-on point for new readers!

Bullet Review:I am exhausted! What a ride! Some great revelations - and yet I feel the conclusion of the Crucible plot lacked a certain OOMPH. A greatness. Was it because this volume is a slim 94 pages, in comparison to the 120+ pages of the other volumes?Full Review:Zayne, Gryph, and Slyssk have parted ways with Jarael and Rohlan due to the events at the end of Volume 8 (Weird part - they part some time after that last conversation in volume 8; so they didn't TALK about Jarael's final declaration before their unhappy parting? Talk about weird!). Zayne and Gryph are actually called to Coruscant to give testimony to the trial of Demagol. Meanwhile Rohlan and Jarael try to defeat Crucible on their own.This was a very decent conclusion to the Crucible storyline - not as solid as Vindication was (but then, how can you REALLY top that?!), but decent. There are LOADS of new revelations, really BIG ONES that I can't even hint at because I don't want to be spoilery. But I'll just say: I don't think I saw them coming (mostly...maybe a hint or two here or there), but once you are told the secret and you go back through the volumes, you can indeed see that this was part of JJM's plan all along.I guess I was sorta disappointed at how Jarael's story wrapped up. (view spoiler)[It ends up she really doesn't have much of a Force connection - that was Demagol. Also, the ending hints that Jarael and Zayne are dating - I just don't buy their chemistry, and I hate how often authors make the lead male and female protagonists end up in a relationship at the end. I thought Zayne had more chemistry with Shel, personally.ETA: Iset brought up a good point about Zayne/Shel - that's a first-love, teenaged romance. I'm not a big fan of those "this is the first person I've ever met and had pants feels for - I'm in love FOREVER!" so I'm revising my statement to this:I wouldn't want Zayne back with Shel, but I also wouldn't want to see Jarael and Zayne long term. Before the big revelation about Rohlan (Demagol), I wanted Jarael with Rohlan; it may work, but they'd have to work together, and since Demagol posed as Rohlan, I have no clue if that would actually work.Also, and my reading buddy mentioned this, Crucible isn't really destroyed by the end. Chantique is dead, but Chantique isn't the sole member of Crucible. If she could take over, then someone else will quickly fill her spot. (hide spoiler)]

The Jedi Temple is attacked, an Emperor is betrayed, and the Sith are born anew! A lot can happen in a hundred years, but that's just the beginning of the story!
