I went into this with no familiarity with the characters - I haven't played Fallen Order yet. It stands alone just fine, providing a decent adventure about Jedi dealing with complicated matters and interrogating some of their philosophies. It's thrown into a fairly action-packed story, but it felt a bit muddled, and the fact that all the characters were shades of grey made it hard to root FOR anyone, including the Jedi. Cere is the central character, and you can see how she grows through the sto...

'I was under the impression that the Jedi led interesting lives full of great and important adventures.My memory banks are full of the histories of Jedi adventurers whose deeds will be remembered for all time.But you are the first Jedi I have ever actually encountered and I find you quite forgettable.'Well, that sums up this graphic novel just perfectly. Nothing to add here. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A very interesting adventure of a Jedi master and his padawan. Really makes you want to play the game that follows this story

Spoilers for this comic and for the videotape Star Wars: Jedi - Fallen Order!Star Wars: Jedi - Fallen Order - Dark Temple (try saying that five times fast!) follows Cere Junda as a Padawan learner on the cusp of Knighthood as she and her Master, Eno Cordova, seek to resolve some political tension on planet Ontotho, where one remaining sovereign state, Fylar, is preventing the other allied states (which recently joined the Republic) from excavating an ancient temple on their lands.When we meet Ce...

Fairly dissapointing story, it had none of the charm of the game, and Cere Junda was obnoxious as hell, she showed more traits of the dark side than Anakin, and the Jedi Council made her a Jedi? Makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Rating: 3 starsWhile I enjoyed the dual timeline, and the conflict of who was actually the bad guy (or if there was even such thing), this graphic novel is aimed at those looking to play the accompanying game. Unfortunately, God has not blessed me with video gaming capabilities. It is quite funny actually, because by all my interests point towards me being a good gamer (I love physics, Star Trek/Wars, Doctor Who, books, maths, history... all the nerdy stuff) but I am absolutely hopeless. So hope...

This was an intriguing supplementary story to the game. I am about a third through it I think. I love the Second Sister, one of new favorite Star Wars characters.

"I'm responsible for the path that Trilla is on. And what she does next is the cost of all of my mistakes.Our mistakes... Are in the past. And it's all of our responsibility and it's about what we do next that's important. You taught me that, Cere."

This collection tells the story of a planet that has recently joined the Republic. There is a small portion of this planet that does not agree with this. Within this small portion is a temple that a huge corporation with the Republic's permission would like to explore. This is not acceptable to its residents and war ensues.I was going to give this a three star rating until I read the final page. This collection also ties in with a video game and this is where it lost me. I liked the self contain...

This was an entirely "meh" affair. The art was fine, but the writing was entirely underwhelming. I was looking forward to some interesting Jedi action to lead into the "Star Wars: Fallen Order" video game (which I genuinely enjoyed.) Instead it was mostly filler nonsense that didn't really resolve any more than it started. Totally skipable, much better Star Wars graphic novels out there.

I am not even sure why I decided to pick this up. I haven't played the video game(though I do plan to) and wasn't particularly interested. It wasn't actually even very good. But I still liked it quite a bit. I'm not sure if that makes sense but there it is. 3 stars.

Felt like an episode of the clone wars. I LOVE Fallen Order and it was good to see Cere’s idealism balanced with her master’s knowledge and pragmatism. Very akin to how her and Kal interact

I've been enjoying the game so i thought I'd check this out. Unfortunately it was a bit boring.

Dark Temple is a fairly by-the-numbers introduction to the Jedi: Fallen Order video game, which I haven't played. We're introduced to the planet Ontotho and the Jedi Ceres Junda, which presumably both play a role in the game. Junda is on Ontotho to prevent a conflict from escalating, but her complete inability to use diplomacy results in her only creating further conflict. It's not exactly the best showing for a Jedi - nice to see them struggle once in a while.Ontotho also hosts mysterious energ...

Decent tie-in that doesnt really expand too much on the game unfortunately. Its an ok prequel story with a few of the game's characters, but nothing really stands out. Kinda insignificant in the end with how it ties into the game.

“Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order - Dark Temple” (wow, that’s a mouthful of a title) is the requisite comic book tie-in to the “Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order” videogame that was released last month, to which this serves as a prequel. And, like most of Marvel’s “Star Wars” output, it falls squarely into the category of being“perfectly adequate” – the story is diverting enough, without ever being truly gripping, and the characters have just enough personality and quirk to disguise the fact that they’r...

If this is any indication of what the Fallen Order game is like, then my God, I’m gonna hate it.Dark Temple is a totally snooze fest. It plods along with a plot that doesn’t literally nothing for Star Wars except bore the piss out of the them. Worse, Nothing happens for 136 pages. Literally not a single damn thing. Of course I’m being mildly facetious, though I legitimately cannot remember any particular moment that stands out or any big reveal that happens. Adding to that, Cere is a lame charac...

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order - Dark Temple collects issues 1-5 of the series written by Matthew Rosenberg and art by Paolo Villanelli and Ruarí Coleman.The book takes place before the events in the videogame Star Was: Jedi Fallen Order. Padawan Cere Junda and Jedi Master Eno Cordova have been sent to the planet Ontotho on a peace keeping mission. A corporation is trying to to conduct an expedition into an ancient temple and the natives if the area want to preserve the history. I felt this story

It was nice to see the characters from the game before the events of it, but this story was rather boring. At least the art was nice!

I didn't really have many expectations for essentially a video game promo comic, but it turned out the setting (20ish years before Episode I) made for quite an interesting Star Wars shake-up: no separatists, no Empire, no First Order, ... this is the kinda low stakes shit the lunkheads who wailed and pulled their hair at the Luke cameo in Mando are clamoring for! A padawan and her master are sent to mediate between a corporation that wants to excavate a site on the planet Otontho. The Otontho go...
