SNOKE SINKS HIS CLAWS IN! YOUNG BEN SOLO FACES THE KNIGHTS OF REN! With the new jedi school in ruins and fellow students hot on his trail for the murder of their master, Ben Solo flees to the only friend he has left in the galaxyà a man named Snoke. But Snoke has plans for Benà and ideas about the Force that are as dangerous as they are intriguing for the troubled young jedi. If Ben wishes to be truly freeà the answers might lie with the dark side. And with the Knights of Ren! But it won't be the first time he's tangled with the Knights. In the past, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker journeys to the Unknown Regions and brings young Ben along for the mission. Can even Luke Skywalker stand against the fabled Knights of Ren?!

BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy


Wil Sliney's art looks rushed compared to his other Star Wars work for Marvel. That's not the biggest problem on hand. The BIGGEST problem is the dialogue taken directly from movies, being reused to give the reader a sense of familiarity. That familiarity is (almost) always wasted when a licensed title follows this practice. It's much worse here as the issue is Skywalker heavy, featuring Luke declaring himself the last jedi, and using his awful regular Earthling Human speech patterns from 'Last Jedi' (in which he sounded nothing like himself or any other character in Star Wars). The 'Star Wars for everyone' approach here, rather than an 'everyone for Star Wars, a thing that has existed for over 4 decades', is tired and worrisome at the same time.

I give it 5 out of 10 Grahams
