Rated T
OverallThis was a really good story in which we get to learn a little more about Kyber Crystals and a Jedi's relationship with their lightsaber. I really enjoyed the character of Dr. Cuata and the way in which it is established that he is able to communicate with Kyber Crystals and understand what they have to say. I also liked how he put Luke Skywalker to work by getting him to use the force to also link with Kyber Crystals. Read Full Review
Star Wars #35 focuses on three involving characters and explores the Jedi's relationship with the Force. Rich art enhances this densely-told story as the tension builds toward a climax that tests each person's ethics and loyalties. Read Full Review
An intriguing and slow-paced piece that focuses on dialogue and engagement over action, making me quite happy. Read Full Review
Musabekov delivers some great art throughout the issue. The visuals are beautifully detailed and the worlds crafted within the crystals look amazing and are filled with great imagery. Read Full Review
The book does deliver some interesting backstory for the nature of lightsabers and kyber crystals in general, some of which plays a pivotal part of the lightsaber Luke debuts in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, but as a narrative chapter in the Jedi's journey, it reads less like prose and more like a reference book for lightsabers.
