This shows a bit more of Canto Bight, but somehow I just was not that into this comic. I did not really expect DJ's origins to be fully explained, so no expectations were ruined. But even with those low expectations I thought this one-shot was pretty "meh." Even The Phantom Limb had its poignant moments.
Another Star Wars movie, another ‘eh’ comic tie-in (although, thankfully, this one was only a single issue long, as opposed to a miniseries). Frankly, I suspect your enjoyment of this issue will depend a lot on what you thought of Benicio Del Toro’s character in “The Last Jedi.” Personally, I found him mildly interesting, but not so appealing that I was clamoring to read a whole comic book issue about him…and now, having read said issue, I still kind of wish I hadn’t even bothered. The art by Ke...
"In my defense, I only burn the terrible people. 'Course there ain't any other kind. Nobody's a saint, not even a person bringing water to the desert as a cover for bringing desert drugs back to civilization. Closest you got is me, at least I'm honest. Except when I'm lying." – D.J.
DJ is a fascinating character. He is the definition of True Neutral and we don't even know his real name. Think about it. No one ever says his name in the movie, his name is never said here. DJ actually stands for "Don't Join" derived from a line he says in the movie.This was a fun story although the digital comic version on Kindle is difficult to read because the font was very small. Nice artwork though.
Much like the Storms of Crait (or whatever it was called) one shot, this wasn't bad by any means, but it just was kinda... pointless? Like this actually did tie into the main story of The Last Jedi, but it wasn't really necessary considering DJ was a pointless character (Rose and Finn (two n's?) could've just snuck aboard the First Order ship and got caught, DJ was pretty much a waste of time, but really that whole side plot was if I'm being honest).I like that Star Wars is doing things of this
I really thought that this would expand upon the character of DJ as we don’t learn much about him the The Last Jedi but this just turned out to be a waste of time - this was a painfully dull comic and ultimately pointless. Marvel have got an amazing universe here to draw from but they keep putting out boring and lifeless comics!
There was a lot of lingo and good number of new characters to follow for a one-shot. Exceptional art and character design.
I wished that DJ wasn't a pointless character in The Last Jedi. It's disappointing how often Star Wars movies don't do anything with characters who seem to have great potential. This one-shot graphic novel doesn't give much insight into DJ's character or past; it simply tells how he ended up in the jail cell where Finn and Rose meet him. Though it's not a substantial story, I liked the artwork and the dialogue. DJ's dialogue (mostly internal) is distinctive and unique to him.This graphic novel f...
*2.5*A bit of a missed opportunity to not expand upon the character (My personal theory is that he’s Ezra Bridger all grown up), and honestly, comics like these could easily have been made into short films and release them online and/or on accompanying home video releases. I will say I did like the vibe of this story, very crime noir-ish and very un-Star Wars.
i really enjoyed this. But I really liked DJ in The Last Jedi, and I have always lived the underworld gang stuff in the Star Wars Universe.
After my most recent updates were a bunch of old reviews, here's the first new one I have had a chance to do for a while. And... this is yet another instance of me getting burned. Look, I know the Last Jedi is polarizing, but I'm one of the movie's defenders. It has cemented itself as the best of the new star wars films for me (I'd rank the new films with Last Jedi on top, Force Awakens in the middle, and Rogue One on the bottom), and of the three major new characters that the movie introduced (...
I hope there are more comics to come that cover events around The Last Jedi/Force Awakens. I dug this one-shot of DJ. He is an interesting character. In this comic you get to see the events leading up to his introduction in The Last Jedi and sheds light on his ingenuity and hacking ability. I hope there is more to come for DJ.
I quite enjoyed this (I really liked DJ's character in the Last Jedi so your mileage may vary) - I only wish that it was longer.
Not much of a story here. Especially for a one-shot.
If I didn’t know it was a Star Wars comic then I’d have thought this was just your standard marvel comic. Not a lot happens in this at all, nothing that’d make it worth buying.
Yeah, I don't think I'll remember this. In fact, I'm already forgetting most of this One-shot. The worst part of this entry reflects on the idea of doing an entire issue dedicated to one of the saga's most forgettable characters. Listen, I do like The Last Jedi, I don't love it, but I'm not part of the haters band, although, I do acknowledge that the worst part out of that film was the newly introduced characters: Rose, Holdo, and DJ, the "codebreaker" who was imprisoned at Canto Bight, now has
A muddled story about a character no one cares about. Complete waste of time.
I'm personally not a fan of The Last Jedi, and DJ is far from being a good person, but in my opinion he was one of the more memorable characters in the film. As a fan of Benicio del Toro I might be a bit biased, but I thought he played the part very well, despite being underused.This was quite a great comic, where we find out why he ended up in the same jail cell that Finn and Rose also end up in. I really liked DJ's internal dialogue/narration (which makes up for his small screentime in the fil...
Star Wars movie tie-ins are usually not a good comics. And some of them are actually pretty crap. Like DJ, which is absolutely unnecessary. Too much jabber and nothing from it. The story is dull. At least the art is... fine, this only separate my rating from one star.
I really liked this. I hope we see more of DJ; this story was super interesting and made Canto Bright a more appealing place. (All the shoutouts to the spa/hammam made me reeeally wish we weren't in COVID isolation right now...)(Side note and apropros of nothing, it does seem a little weird to me that this, "DJ: Most Wanted", came out a year before another Star Wars canon expansion called "Most Wanted", an unrelated novel about teenage Han Solo released a year later.)
