Another "fine" videogame tie-in.
Format: Paperback
โStar Wars: Jedi Fallen Order - Dark Templeโ (wow, thatโs a mouthful of a title) is the requisite comic book tie-in to the โStar Wars: Jedi: Fallen Orderโ videogame that was released last month, to which this serves as a prequel. And, like most of Marvelโs โStar Warsโ output, it falls squarely into the category of beingโperfectly adequateโ โ the story is diverting enough, without ever being truly gripping, and the characters have just enough personality and quirk to disguise the fact that theyโre basically just engines to keep the story moving. Really, the only thing about โDark Templeโ that rises above the level of 'competent' is the art by Paolo Villanelli, which mixes dichotomous colors with sharp line work to meld into something thatโs genuinely striking and distinct. Fans of โFallen Orderโ might be apt to see what some of their favorite characters were up in the years preceding the gameโs story, but rest assured: story-wise, thereโs not much to glean here, outside of one or two teasing allusions. Die-hard fans of โStar Warsโ will probably enjoy this well enough; anyone else probably need not read.
