Star Wars: Jedi Knights #9

This was a really strong issue that pushes the Corlis Rath storyline forward and deepens our understanding of his obsession with hunting Qui-Gon Jinn. The blend of past and present adds real emotional weight, and the final-page setup promises an intense showdown in the chapters to come. I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing how all of this resolves. Read Full Review

Everything is moving along just about as you'd expect, and there are no real surprises here. Our mystery villain is fleshed out a bit more, but it's still fairly minimal overall, so they're kind of just shadowy and ephemeral as a character even after all of this. Qui-gon being awake again is a plus and him doing his research will always delight. The flashback storyline with Dooku is the more interesting part overall since we get to see more of the general kind of corruption that was going on through Dooku to others. The nods to his own time as a padawan under Yoda also make you wonder how oblivious Yoda was to some of Dooku's ways of thinking that must have been slightly visible back then. Overall, a decent if predictable issue. Read Full Review

Geuggenheim is doing a great job with this title. Where the other Star Wars titles continue to disappoint, this one shines. The story told in a series of flashbacks, with Dooku leading Jinn awry, is a great idea. We know that Jinn can't die, but I'm looking forward to seeing where this story goes nonetheless.

Out of all the issues of Star Wars: Jedi Knight, issue nine is giving off the most prequel vibes. From the first few pages I felt transported back to 1999, when this era of Star Wars felt new and interesting. There was a quiet reserve to Episode I that is echoed here. Granted the story is now squarely focused on Qui-Gon Jin so there is that connective thread, however the story is fresh and fun. Qui-Gon is on a mission to discover the identity of his would be assassin Corlis Rath and it takes him back to a mission from his past while he was still the apprentice of Dooku. The narrative is layered and the characters are true to what we’ve come to expect. Guest appearances from Dr. Nema and Jocasta Nu help tie the story to the larger Star War s universe without beating you over the head with it. If you are an old-school Star Wars fan … this book is 100% for you. more
