Another "fine" videogame tie-in.
Format: Paperback
“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’re basically just engines to keep the story moving. Really, the only thing about “Dark Temple” 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 that’s genuinely striking and distinct. Fans of “Fallen Order” might be apt to see what some of their favorite characters were up in the years preceding the game’s story, but rest assured: story-wise, there’s not much to glean here, outside of one or two teasing allusions. Die-hard fans of “Star Wars” will probably enjoy this well enough; anyone else probably need not read.
