Jul 02, 2025Madibek Musabekov & Luis Guerrero again do an incredible job with the art in this issue. They do such a good job capturing the look & feel that I get when I watch The Phantom Menace. Also they do a fantastic job at giving things a dark, mysterious look that the story conveys. Not everything is as it seems, and the colors do a great job hammering that home. Read Full Review

Aug 06, 2025I continue to enjoy the generally episodic nature of this series and playing in the period before the start of the prequel trilogy, with occasional nods beyond, as it does help to bind things together a bit more. Yaddle gets some decent spotlight here, and getting to see Dooku after leaving the order, as it shows how quickly he fell in with Darth Sidious. The artwork looks pretty solid throughout and they even make Yaddle look better than they did in the film. I think it's trying to do a little too much overall while at the same time feeling like it's playing a variation on the start of The Phantom Menace as part of that poetry rhymes things.

I like these one-and-done stories. The B story doesn't move forward at all, but okay with that. Dooku, Yaddle, and Seera are in the middle of a trade mediation that goes awry. I also like the cold open showing what Dooku becomes. Good stuff. About time we have some good Star Wars. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/ggIlHVMAMMc

Star Wars: Jedi Knight #5 was a coda for the 4th episode of the cartoon - Tales of the Jedi on Disney+. It only serves to add more context to that episode even opening with 2 pages pulled right from the cartoon. If read before seeing that episode ... it spoils it, if read after that episode (and Attack of the Clones) it hints at things you already know are going to happen. So ultimately the story is pointless outside of just being another short Star Wars tale. All that criticism aside, it was another well written and beautifully illustrated comic, that still remains the BEST Star Wars book being pumped out by the Marvel/Disney machine.
