I really enjoy both graphic novel adaptations. Generally, I like the Marvel ones a bit more, but I also love the style of the IDW ones. I particularly love the way Han was illustrated. It was great to experience the story again in this way. I always feel like rewatching the films when I read an adaptation.
I've always been a fan of novelizations of movies, and it's great to see graphic novel versions too! I love Star Wars, and got this relatively cheap. When it comes to the mega franchises, for me, Star Wars ranks up there with things like The Avengers, and The Justice League.
sadly very short and leaves out a lot. probably more suited for younger readers
Obviously I’m obsessed with Star Wars and the actual story is 5 stars, the way this graphic novel condensed the plot did it a great disservice. It made sense to me because I know what exactly happens, but if you don’t, things would fly right over your head.(Also, the art style is great. Kylo looks super emo and a bitch is emotional about it).
Just like the movie and so much fun to read. The characters were very well drawn. Loved it.
p.38 If you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people. I'm looking at the eyes of a man who wants to run.A solid introduction to the story for The Force Awakens. The artistic panels are the strength of the work. There are striking contrasts of color throughout the work. Many horizontal insets are standard on the page. The effect produces a layering of consistent action on the individual pages. The arrangement makes the action vivid and enticing. In addition, there is an intrigu...
A solid graphic novel adaption of the movie that captured all the main themes of the movie. Also Kylo Ren looks suuuuuper angsty lol.
Short quick fire version of the movie. Short but to the point. Good art work and most of the important lines from the movie. All in all a good quick read of the movie.
The Force Awakens graphic novel is a very condensed form of the seventh Star Wars movie. I am not entirely sure who it is meant to appeal to though. If you have never seen the movie then this adaptation might leave you with questions and feel that the story is lacking. There isn't as much time to dedicate to character development and backstory. Whereas if you have seen the movie and know a lot about Star Wars this will seem like it glosses over too much and only the major plot points are provide...
Not bad. Plot-wise it was more like the cliff-notes version of the movie.
3.5 stars
So you want a teen friendly comic of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with all of the plot that's pretty well drawn? Here you go. And yes, Kylo Ren looks emo in this, you'll love it.
Won a copy through the giveaways excited to get my copy and read!Just got my copy in the mail today and have finished reading it! It is a quick read. I have not seen the new movies yet and this makes me excited to do so. I loved the illustrations and how they managed to tell the story with few words. I love graphic novels and am excited to be able to add this to the collection of books for the nieces and nephews which include several other Star wars stories.
Not a bad adaptation to the film.I feel like this is a great graphic introduction for a younger audience than myself. Maybe for kids over 8 yrs old. Looking at you nephew, but not my copies! 🤣Ferrari has adapted this in a way that kids can read it and not worry too much about the plot lines or the additional political intrigue that is rampart within the verse and can just focus on a few characters such as the Poe and BB-8 as the film starts with on their secret mission from General Organa before...
Graphic Novel. The use of onomatopoeia for the battles makes the action really come alive.
Another throwaway Star Wars graphic novel adaptation. I can't help thinking there must be a better use of the time for all the people involved in these IDW adaptations. Actually, reading this one mostly made me sad about all the intriguing plot threads in The Force Awakens that were utterly discarded in The Last Jedi. So many lines that should've gone somewhere, but apparently they never will.
If you need a quick reminder of The Force Awakens before discovering The Last Jedi ← this graphic novel is a really good one.
2020 Read #17Well, the nuances of characters are a bit lost here since you don’t get much of the personality or dynamics the actors brought to their original characters in the film. Rey’s just Action Girl, Finn’s not eccentric and humorous, Kylo Ren is a one-beat villain, etc. But even so the art is good in a campy way that fits the larger-than-life Star Wars universe. I am curious how the other adaptations fare now.
Good, but it missed a lot of part from the story.. I missed it.
That was a fun read, but I kept wondering how a first-time reader who has not seen the movie would react to scenes that are so much more exciting on the big screen.
