KOTOR comic coming to an end.

I know this isn't exactly new, but I still feel it's a noteworthy event, considering it was one of the few good things that Star Wars released in the past four years, and had a pretty good run. I'm sorry to see it go, but hopefully there will be more.

I disliked it. It was just one more example of 'nobody Jedi/Padawan does amazing galaxy changing things' and the like that further trivialize Luke and Anakin in the Star Wars universe.

What it did have going for it was the feel, which was nice. It was like the story was carrying the characters along on the adventure. Not that the story was any good.

I also disliked the art.

the story wasn't too bad. And how did it trivialize things? The closes thing to the movies was Haazen (the big bad of the first 35 issues) being similar to palpatine, and that was because he had artifacts that masked his evil and the advantage of practically no one being aware of his existence. And besides, manipulating a grieving widow and a four year old ain't that hard. Once things stop following his script he's essentially a helpless child unlike Palpatine, who gets over luke's refusal quickly (before getting hurled down a reactor shaft.) Plus they for once have a protaganist who isn't teh gritty (Cade and Quinlin Vos overdo it), which is refreshing (plus he attracts to legitimately hot women due to his sweetness, which is again really refreshing). Luke and Anakin were also hardly no-bodies (Zayne's at the bottom of his class, while Luke and Anakin were both gifted, if awkward at times). It actually felt like Star Wars, and dialogue and character growth were good. The villians were also a lot more complex then most star wars villians (one master is literaly driven mad by guilt, another feels misgivings and ultimately tries to atone, one's too weak willed, and another (Lucien) genuinely thought he was doing the right thing, and was a jackass largely due to being raised by Haazen (a spiteful bastard who hated his father) and having a shitty relationship with his mother. The current villians (a slaver gang called the Crucible) are easily some of the most cruel villians the star wars EU has ever produced. Plus JJ Miller is good at having things be totally random, then make perfect sense later on.
