I blame the source material, but this was thoroughly meh...no character development, and it jumped disjointedly from plot point to plot point - basically just illustrating the key scenes from the movies.On the plus side, reading this was still better than watching the prequels...

As my wife said: "I don't know why you do this to yourself."

Minus the acting the prequels are a decent set of stories. Kind of bummed they kept some of the script though. Your favorite "I hate sand" bit is here, for example. Otherwise decent.

I’m a huge fan of the art in this graphic novel and it’s a super fun compilation of all 3 of the prequel movies! I highly recommend this if you love Star Wars and need something different in your reading routine.

5 stars for the artwork. Zero stars for the adaptation. So, 2.5 .... rounded up. This style worked for the Episode IV, V, VI trilogy because the plot and cast of characters wasn't as complex as this trilogy. The story was so abbreviated that if you didn't already know who everybody was and what they were doing, it would be a bunch of nice pictures depicting confusing scenes and characters who you didn't know. And when you don't know characters, it's hard to care about the story. Even if you are

Quick Review. Actual rating: 3.5 / 5.These short adaptations are fun, but often pointless. Seeing a story you've seen over and over, but in a different format.Whilst the art is not my favourite, I feel as though it works here. This has a bright design, brilliant background art, decent character art and a standard panel layout, which all makes for an easily digestible 20 minute read. I really don't know what to say on this story wise, it's exactly the same as the other adaptations where it's the

Eh it was okay. I feel like they skipped over some important things left out some of the best parts and dialogue. And while fight scenes are a big part of the movies, I felt like there were too many of them depicted in great length, when just a few less frames would have worked fine. I mean, I know it's not gonna be exactly like the movie but still, it could have been better.

This wasn't too bad of a read. The problem was it followed the quotes from the film to a letter but it skipped over the most important battle and speaking scenes. I don't really understand why they spent time on insignificant scenes but skipped over others. It is an interesting read though; the graphics were very well-drawn, especially the characters.

*3.75Okay, this one I significantly enjoyed more than the adaptation of the original trilogy.I'm pretty sure I know why - I've seen the original SW trilogy many, many times, but I've only seen the prequel trilogy twice. So I wasn't nitpicking this book as much as I was the original trilogy one - since I don't remember each and every scene as well as I do with the original movies, I wasn't taken out of the story every time I noticed a missing line.(Side note, though: They should've kept "This is

This book was awesome! It retells the entire Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. It misses some important parts, but I guess it's just because that would make the book to long. Even that cannot lower this book's rating! These books are great, but you have to watch the movies first otherwise you'll get confused on whether the movie or the books are the more accurate ones (the books are accurate, they just miss some parts of the movies, and they also shorten battle sequences, such as the Duel on Mustafar)....

One volume that covers all three prequel movies in graphic form. The artwork takes a little getting used to as it's very cartoony, but once I did get used to it, I liked it. It's not a 100% adaptation - there are parts edited out - but it's mostly there. I guess I feel the way I felt about the Force Awakens adaptation - not unenjoyable, but it didn't add anything new.

3.5 starsI will love Star Wars until the day I die, and I really loved the style of the illustrations, but upon turning the final page I was left with a feeling of wishing there had been...something more.It’s a pretty faithful adaptation, overall. Obviously some bits and pieces had to be cut/shortened in the transition from screen to page, but it’s still sad to see some of my favourite lines missing, or iconic scenes stripped down to a panel or two when others get a full spread (and frankly, the...

i love star wars, but this was waaaaaaay too fast paced. 3 movies in 200 pages was a little wild.

This graphic novel is an adaption of the prequel movies: Episodes I -III. I do not like the art style as it makes the characters look very bizarre. Also, it is abridged and the significant exciting scenes are very abrupt.That being said, it is still a fairly interesting read, especially with the family. It also helps highlight some of the progressions and elements of the story and characters. There were even a few things I noticed that I had forgotten or never even noticed before.

Finally finished this. Don't really know why it took me so long.This graphic novel will be useful for refreshing your memories of prequel without having to re-watch them, because this is exactly what happens in movies, short scene after short scene.What bothered me: art style - while background looked great, I didn't like the way some of the characters where drawn;and also, wasn't a big fan of the jumpy way the story was told. On one hand, it helps the narrative to move faster (but it didn't hel...

5 stars Nice to have a comic adaptation of the first three films in the Star Wars saga. Very good. Don't know why people don't like Jar Jar Binks very much.Can't wait to read more Star Wars comics!!!!

Meh. Much like the take on the Original Trilogy, this collection has goofy cartoon artwork that's way too simplistic. The dialogue is exactly from the movies, copy and pasted. The chunks of the story that were skipped left for an even clunkier story. The more exciting aspects such as the light saber duels were reduced to only 2-3 panels that the childish artwork didn't do it any justice. I still think this and the predecessor are best skipped; however this might be a nice way to introduce kids t...

As absolutely beautiful as the art is, this "graphic novel" isn't very novelistic. As a matter of fact, many scenes are chopped-up so horrendously that it might be near impossible to figure-out exactly what's going-on. That's why I'd say this is better as a gift for major fans of the prequel films, and certainly not for a newcomer. But, seriously, the space scenes for Phantom Menace are amazing. I'm also kind of shocked by how the adapters decided to show violence much more directly. People lose...

The prequel trilogy is best remembered today as a fountain of memes and quotes that happened to have an overly-ambitious story linking them together, hampered by bad acting and Lucas’s refusal to let a script doctor work with his baby as he had in the Original Trilogy era (no Carrie Fisher, no realistic dialogue). Luckily, the bones of the story are still very solid. This graphic novel distillation fares better than the Original Trilogy graphic novel did, because these movies benefit more from b...

Many scenes cut, which helps with the (dreadful) pacing of the Prequel movies, but alas, this is a faithful adaptation otherwise, keeping all of the story faults and problems. As with the Original Trilogy adaptation, much of the romantic scenes are cut--which might have been OK with Han & Leia's stories in Ep. 4-6, but a big piece of the story in the prequels is the forbidden romance. So, what was already a bewildering romance in the movies becomes even more unfathomable in this adaptation.
