I started the year with some Star Wars graphic novels, bought on sale (of course). One was the story of an old Yoda solo mission, as told to Kenobi, and it was interesting to see the old master in the field. After that was a collection of one-shots, the most interesting of which is the tale of Artoo taking on Darth Vader’s Star Destroyer to rescue Threepio… and winning almost single-handedly. Finally, I reached an odd pair of stories - one of how Vader and Tarkin subjugated Mon Cala (Ackbar’s planet), and a sequel set several years later, with the Rebels setting things right.

I’m currently between books, as I’m not sure what I want to tackle next. I’ve been clearing out some unread single issues in the meantime; the comiXology app will only display up to 150 items in a list on the library page, so I wanted to get my unread list under that. Many of them are “first in a (mini)series,” so I don’t count them towards any challenges, but there have been a few solid self-contained stories in the latest batch.

Maybe I’ll get the third and fourth “Dark Lord” novels processed and loaded next, having read the first two over the holidays. That’s a YA or MG series about a millennia-old Big Evil Guy whose opponent defeated him in battle and transported him to modern-day Earth… as a 12-year-old boy. It’s popcorn, sure, but it’s fun popcorn.
