Star Wars: Jedi Knights #8

This was an unusual story that offered a glimpse into what it is like for a child to be recruited and leave home to train as a Jedi. Soona is very well written, and I enjoyed the brief time we got to spend with her, following her early adventures and seeing her navigate fear, loss, and discovery. Her perspective adds a unique emotional depth to the story, giving readers insight into the challenges and growth that come with beginning the path of a Jedi. Read Full Review

This is easily one of the most unique issues I've ever read, and it's definitely one of the most fun ones I've read recently. It's easily accessible for every Star Wars fan, and should be a MUST READ. Read Full Review

Star Wars: Jedi Knights #8 is by far one of the most interesting Star Wars comics I’ve read in well over a decade. Guggenheim made the bold decision to tell the story entirely first person AND that person was a child being taken by the Jedi to join the order. It was unfortunately a quick read, but a very solid and super intriguing one. If you’re not reading this book and you are an old-school (well 1990s-2000s) fan of Star Wars - you need to be reading this book. Also this issue is notable for an appearance by Kelleran Beq. What? You don’t recognize that name? Me either - it’s the Jedi that Ahmed “Jar Jar” Best played in the Mandalorian. I continue to recommend this series and highly recommend this 100% stand alone issue.

Wow, what a great issue. Thinking out of the box is something you rarely see nowadays. A first person pov of a child being recruited to be Jedi. How the family would deal with it and how not following orders got people killed. Amazing work by Guggy. I hope to see this character again. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/Eok-eOfY5cw
