• A problem, Yoda has. A big problem.
• Strong with the stonepower, this problem is.
• But judge it not by its size, will he.
Rated T
The story and art improve, showing this to be a much larger story than anticipated. I really want to know what's going to happen next issue. Yoda shows, once again, he is the toughest Jedi, ever. Read Full Review
Star Wars #29 is a strong issue, with mysteries revealed in a way that grounds this arc in the fertile soil of the GFFA. Read Full Review
Admittedly, this arc has been all kinds of non-standard in a way compared to what else Marvel has been producing for Star Wars material, but it has been a lot of fun to read even if predictable in many ways beyond the obvious of Yoda surviving and whatnot. This issue again delivers big on the Larroca and Delgado artwork and that alone is worth the price of admission for me. Aaron's bringing it more formally into the present with Luke and that has me interested in seeing the fallout from that and getting closer to being on track with another storyline. I want more stories like this but I also want it to be in its own separate series of miniseries or something as opposed to taking up this much space in the main book where there's still so much to explore.

Thankfully we only have to wait a week for the next issue, which is good because a duel is in order! Fans of the Force need to see this as they've never seen it utilized quite like this. Read Full Review
Luke's appearance marks the close of this saga which has been marked creative but disappointing. In this issue, we see improvements in the art department and Aaron's storytelling despite disappointment in the fight scene between Yoda and the mountain. I think many will just be happy when this arc comes to a close. Read Full Review
It feels like the momentum has fizzled a bit, but even at half speed, what we're given is ultimately readable. I just wish it hadn't veered so far over to the dark side. Read Full Review
This latest Star Wars storyline continues to frustrate and entertain in equal measure. Jason Aaron and Salvador Larroca should be applauded for taking risks and playing with the familiar Star Wars formula, but there's still the fact that "Yoda's Secret War" doesn't really have the depth to justify a five-issue structure. Nor does the art live up to the series' usual standard. Read Full Review
This is a weird arc that has been quite enjoyable for me. I have never been the biggest Yoda fan, but I am enjoying Jason Aaron's characterization of him here, and Salvador Larroca's art is top notch. The narrative trick of having Luke read this in Obi Wan's journal is a bit forced, but I am interested to see how this shapes out.
I didn't find the mountain monster to work as well as I thought it should. Yoda doesn't really have the great character moments that he had earlier on in the arc. I did really enjoy the reveal at the end. I just hope that we aren't done with Yoda yet.
