Reviews

[Neil R. Coulter · Rating 2 out of 5]

I don't really understand all these Alessandro Ferrari adaptations of Star Wars movies. They're very short and quick, leaving out so many parts of the movie that it would be, I think, quite difficult to understand the story if you weren't already very familiar with it. I spent less than 10 minutes reading this graphic novel from cover to cover.

Another thing that seems odd: Ferrari has already published a graphic novel adaptation of the original trilogy; but now he's publishing new versions of each movie individually? I don't understand.

On page 58, Luke is pictured wearing stormtrooper armor, but he should be in an X-wing pilot uniform.

Star Wars with cool pictures, what's not to like?

[Steph · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really like the art style in this. This adaptation looks like it’s geared towards kids, but I’m not actually sure what about it makes it that way other than there being character introductions at the beginning of the story. Otherwise it was like, shot for shot/panel for panel different scenes from the movie. Which is fine! I’m just not quite sure why they chose to leave out some of the scenes that they did (that *are* kid friendly)?

I enjoyed this, though not as much as I did Ferrari's Rogue One adaptation. The story felt a bit rushed here, especially toward the end, and Vader's portrayal with an oddly long neck took away a lot of his menace.

[Liv · Rating 1 out of 5]

The story is horribly choppy. I'm also not a fan of the Star Wars Adventures Young Readers version comics. The artwork is ugly and warped looking. I don't think it's fair to put out sub par art just because it's for children.

I love Star Wars and I loved reading this to my six year old, but Han Solo was ALL wrong 😂

I liked this adaptation. They really censored some parts but I liked the art work.

Retelling of Ep IV for kids.

A solid 4, the artwork I found awesome!!

[Gary Vassallo · Rating 3 out of 5]

A short enjoyable read. Great artwork but seemed a bit short lacking some of the tension of the movie.

Checked out a bunch of Star Wars books with my nephew and decided to read this one. It was okay. Liked the illustrations pretty well

Imagine if George Lucas, in 1977, teamed up with Disney animation studios to film his space opera “Star Wars” as a full-length animated movie. How awesome would that be?

Well, you don’t have to imagine it. You just need to read Alessandro Ferrari’s brilliant graphic novel adaptation of “Star Wars: A New Hope”, which is basically the original ’77 classic film revamped as a comic book for young readers. Each panel lovingly, and colorfully, feels like a still scene from Disney’s “Star Wars”, the animated film that never was.

Fans without kids may be confused by this, and perhaps justifiably so. This is not meant for die-hard “Star Wars” fans. This is meant for “Star Wars” fans’ kids who have maybe never seen the films and/or are reluctant to watch the films yet for whatever reason.

My daughter, for several years, refused to watch them because they looked “scary”. She did, however, devour this comic book in one night and loved it. She finally expressed an interest in “maybe” watching it with mom and dad one day soon. Hey, it’s baby steps…

If you like a book with action, this book would be for you.

This book is mostly about a girl and a boy who are getting trained and are figuring out that they are brother and sister
