STAR WARS LEGENDS EPIC COLLECTION: THE REBELLION VOL. 1 (Epic Collection: Star Wars Legends)

Lame, lame, lame (but only the last 12 issues of the new 2013 series). The stories at the beginning of the collection (from Star Wars: Empire and Star Wars: Vader"s Quest) are the best ones, although Vader's Quest has been around in other collections (I have it in one of my others). I bought this to try out the 2013 series. It was okay going through it, but when you get to the last issue where you get the big reveal, it's just lame and unbelievable (even for sci-fi standards); you'd expect a better reason from Star Wars writers. Also, the Han and Chewie storyline interposed throughout is okay, if only because you get to ride along with them on a new visual adventure since the original movie, and the Del Rey books, which will always be cannon to me. However, the way it starts at the Coruscant bar, and they way they meet the trash lady is not well thought out; just sorta', kinda' "oh hey this person just happens to know how to deal with out issue." They just happen to meet her and she saves them from a few trouble sports because she knows how to do this and that... and she ends up having just what they wanted in the first place... I was actually enjoying it a little while I was going through the 2013 series, but the end was the let-down (with the Han and Chewie resolution also) and it brought the whole series down quite a few notches. Like I said, Vader's Quest and the Empire issues are pretty good, especially the single issue about Darth Vader and the hyenas, but the 2013 series is not good at all. I'm next going to read the 2015 series Star Wars: Skywalker Strikes and see how much better the writing is (can't be worse).

The first few stories included in this volume are interesting and worth reading for any Star Wars fan (the art for these stories is mediocre to poor), but the real reason to buy this for the Star Wars (2013) #1-12 arc. It was excellent: the story included all our favorite characters form Episode IV (and they were written well and true to the characters), it was fast-paced, gave some insight into the Rogue Squadron, and I *loved* the art. Hopefully the next Rebellion Epic Collection volume includes the rest of this series!

for Christmas last year I bought this used tpb copy of Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Rebellion Vol. 1 (Epic Collection: Star Wars Legends) for a friend of my and who really like it and look forward to read it soon as well

Great read. Fun comic. I recommend to all Star Wars fans.

thank you

Great stories from long ago and far away!

If u are a Star Wars fan this collection is for u

Love this graphic novelThe beginning takes place immediately after the Battle of Yavin. Vader reached a remote planet with an imperial base. But he had to crash land some distance from the base. He was alone in the wild. As cut off from technology as a cyborg can ever be. All he had to survive was his suit, his blade, and the force.The following stories have Vader seeking the identity of the Rebel Pilot who'd destroyed the Death Star. Then becoming obsessed from the moment he learned the pilot had been named Skywalker.What follows has many adventures with Luke, Leia, and Han. Has all 3 growing in strength and experience, and growing closer each step of the way. Also has vivid examples of how Imperial soldiers, Officials, civilians, and rebels reacted to the destruction of the Death Star. Wide variety of reactions from all of them.Finally this shows the intricacies of the Sith Master and Apprentice relationship. Between The Emperor and Vader was a complex series of deceit, treachery, concealment, manipulation, power struggles and hatred. Sidious praised and admired Vader's for it, while simultaneously condemning him for it.
