Review: Heir to the Jedi

WARNING: Major plot spoilers for both Heir to the Jedi and Star Wars Rebels follow.

I never read many Legends (Expanded Universe) books, so, to me, we're seeing the advent of a whole new era for Star Wars and the release of so many untold stories. Between the fun adventure of A New Dawn and the psychological exploration of Tarkin, not to mention the spectacular Star Wars Rebels and the exciting new comics from Marvel, the future is very bright.

Not every story will be great, though, and Heir to the Jedi is, unfortunately, the first canon misstep. It's certainly not that bad by any means, don't get me wrong, and it has plenty of enjoyable moments, but it lands flat and doesn't…

But considering Darth Vader #1 is coming out on Wednesday (followed by Darth Vader #2 in two weeks), I thought now was as good a time as any.

I feel like I should be clear up front: I've never been that into Star Wars Legends, which used to be called the Expanded Universe. There have been a number of Legends comics series set between Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, but I haven't read any of them.
