Brand-new middle-grade stories featuring all your favorite characters from the far reaches of the Star Wars galaxy, spanning the entire Skywalker Saga and beyond!

Three oversized stories featuring Rey, Finn, and Poe; Qui-Gon Jinn and the mighty Wookies of Kashyyk; and Padmé and Anakin; plus half a dozen short stories including tales of villainy starring Kylo Ren and Darth Vader himself!

First, Poe and Finn take Rey to a remote planet to continue her Jedi training. But they're surprised to find that the First Order's reach extends far and wide. Then, Qui-Gon joins the Wookiees of Kashyyyk for a special Life Day celebration! And after that, Padmé and Anakin face a major predicament as they struggle to navigate the politics of the Republic!

Meanwhile, on the Dark Side, Kylo Ren faces the difficulties of leadership and the politics of fear. And, following the siege of Hoth, Darth Vader explores the secrets of the abandoned Rebel base. All this, and new stories of dastardly exploits by Grand Moff Tarkin, Darth Maul, Tobias Beckett and Val, and the sinister Nihil.

Overall, The comic is pretty good. My bias comes with the fact that I did one of the alternate covers for Star Wars adventures #1… and the Darth Vader story in that particular issue is EXCELLENT. So read a cool story, my name is in the book. Win-win.-Scott K.

A very mixed book of stories. From medium to short. The book contains nine stories from the different Disney era's of Star Wars.

Obstacle Course. The book started with what I think was the main event. This was my favorite story in the whole book. Set in between The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker. Watch Rey kick butt on a hostile planet with her staff. Poe and Finn are here too as comedy relief. Easy 5 stars.

Life Day. Set before Episode 1 the Jedi Apprentice years. A good story of Qui Gon passing on knowledge to Obi Wan and some culture too. 4 stars.

The Incident. Set after Episode 2. Padme and Anakin set one of their secret date on Naboo. Do these every go right? The story was ok, but for making Anakin a live sick wimp, not able to take out 3 pirates I took off an extra star. 2 stars.

Invasion of Echo Base. Set during Empire Strikes Back. Watch Darth Vader lead the assault on Echo Base. 4 stars.

Fellow and lead. Set after the Last Jedi. Kylo Ren has everything he wants or does he? An ok story, but it does show Ren/Ben's conflicted nature so an extra star. 4 stars.

The Hostage. Set during the and of the Clone Wars, Maul has returned and sits captured in an impenetrable fortress. Who is locked in with who? 4 stars.

Credits. Set just before Solo. Beckett never get anything right or does he? An ok story 3 stars.

The Short Goodbye. Set just before Rogue One. I am biased and cannot stand Tarkin so I probobly took an extra star off for that alone. It is not easy bring a short Imperial officer. What could have got such an officer noticed by Tarkin. A confusing short story. 2 star.

The Gaze Electric. Set durung the High Republic era. The Eye has a plan an his followers will follow it. I know this story does lead to something so I am going to give it 3 stars.

The book finishes with a cover gallery of varient covers of a of the books.
