Bunch of wee snippets all around the Star Wars universe. Some good, some total crap and then there are hidden gems like the Sergio Aragones one.

Really fun diving back into these classic stories. A nice blend of humor and action. Really loved Lando's return to Cloud City after ROTJ

An anthology of short stories set in the Star Wars Universe is an excellent idea. Does the execution pay off? The short answer is in some places. There is a mix of good, average, and bad stories in this collection. The size of the graphic novel (200+ pages) for the cost do help offset this however. Some of the stories that I enjoyed the most were:Extinction - Darth Vader hunts down a Jedi at the height of the Empire's power. This idea has undoubtedly been explored in more detail since the time o...

Extinction:This was a great start to Star Wars Tales. I love the art work done on dark woman. She looks elegant, regal and powerful, but also aged and weathered. The dialogue stood out to me as well. I really enjoyed this story. My rating for this story is 4.9 out of 5.0. Great story!Life, Death and the Living Force:This story was very spiritual, which allowed me to connect with the subject matter very well. The art was was not as smooth as I would have liked but this did dig a little deeper int...

A fun collection of stories from the Star Wars universe. Some are great, some are hilarious, and very few are outright boring.

Definitely different from mainstream stories. These are bite size stories with no particular order. A fun read.

meh... Star Wars isn't really my thing.

A series that, like "Infinities", explores "what if?" It allows the authors and artists some license to be creative without having to worry about continuity. There are some truly moving stories in "Tales," such as the one about the stormtrooper who has to take point when they board the Tantive IV, and the Darth Vader vs. Darth Maul duel, and the story that shows Vader with 3PO on Cloud City during "Empire".

Exciting SW comic with several interesting tales, including the tale of R5 the Jedi droid!

Most of these stories are mediocre. Having everything not in chronological order annoys me less now than it used to, but I still don't like it."Extinction" is about Vader and Mara Jade. I don't like some of the art and how it focused on certain things because I couldn't tell who or what we were looking at. They're looking for the Dark Woman, and the end is interesting."Senshi" is a single image that made me laugh"Life, Death, and the Living Force" is a disappointing shot of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon.

This was a fun compilation to read. It was fast; it was short; it was entertaining. I definitely liked some of the stories more than others; I was surprised to see 'how much humor' there was in the compilation (three stories, at least). The artwork was hit-and-miss; some of it I liked and some of it not so much. I had quit reading comics around the time these issues came out, otherwise I might have bought them individually; as it was, it was nice to read them all at once in this nice compilation...

Wasn't sure at first how I felt about this odd assortment of tales in the Star Wars universe. They were varied, some cute, some serious, some better than others. I particularly enjoyed the tale of how Lando Calrissian came to control Bespin, "Lady Luck," and also "A Death Star is Born," a tongue in cheek story about the concept origins of the Death Star where the Empire symbols all have Mickey Mouse ears (in pre-Disney Star Wars days) and the Emperor himself remarks on the appalling lack of guar...

Immensely enjoyable. I liked all stories, found the various illustration styles very attractive. There wer probably a ton of jokes I missed but a fair few I got too and those made this a lot more light-hearted than I'd expected. There were even some brilliant female characters, which also surprised me. I will definitely read more in this series.

A fun collection of little Star Wars stories that range from Prequels to the original trilogy. They vary in quality of story and artwork but all have an angle or a focus on a character that you may like (both major and minor characters). It's an enjoyable read especially if you're a diehard Star Wars fan

A collection of mixed short stories like this will obviously be hit-or-miss. Of the fourteen stories though, roughly half are worth reading.

This was an interesting mishmash of tales. The one about the Death Star was especially good campy fun. As with an anthology, the quality varies, but overall it was decent.

Reprints Star Wars Tales #1-4 (September 1999-June 2000). A long time ago and in a galaxy far, far away, the Force was strong and danger lurked behind every corner. Stories of the battle between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance still rise up and stories of Jedis run deep.Written by a large collection of some of comics best writers, Star Wars Tales: Volume 1 was a collection of the quarterly Dark Horse Comic Star Wars Tales. Each issue of the series was oversized and contained a number of stori...

Fun for the most part.Following are the story names followed by my thoughts on the author and artist.

This is a collection of short graphic novel stories. The characters range from major players like Darth Vader to very minor like the robot with the bad servo that Luke's uncle almost buys. The stories also range from serious to parodies.For the most part, I preferred the serious stories that added to the overall story. The little bits of information just add that nice feeling of getting to see behind the curtain of the main stage show. The exception for me was the Jar Jar Binks story. It wasn't
