To find all my reviews: http://dancinginth3dark.blogspot.com Disclaimer: I read the individual comics.Disney created a brand new television show after Star Wars: The Clone Wars which is called Star Wars Rebels. It takes place 13 years after Revenge of the Sith or 4 years before A New Hope. Within the show, we get to see the evil wrath of Darth Vader through the Galactic Empire and pretty much all hell is loose as rebels try to gather up courage and risk safety for a better tomorrow.We meet a

Full disclosure: Over the last 3 weeks, I have become obsessed with "Star Wars: Rebels." I blasted through Season One, have begun Season Two, and am reading "A New Dawn." Go big, or go home I say. Which brings us to "Star Wars: Kanan, Vol. 1." Obviously, only read this book if you are watching or want to begin watching Rebels, but I feel like that's a silly disclaimer to put on a Star Wars book. That'd be like saying "Only read this Star Wars book if you like Star Wars." You clearly already do,

That was amazing.Full RTC

This is a tale of young Padawan Caleb Dume from Order 66 to his escape from certain death thanks to friends who use to be enemies. Better known as Kanan Jarrus from the Disney channel's show StarWars Rebels, a must read for those who are fans.

Much to my surprise, I really enjoyed the first five issues of this collection. The artwork was nice, the story fast-paced and interesting... No mean feat when it's about a character I really don't give a crap about.Shame about the final issue, then, which was a kind of half-arsed epilogue that had 'filler material' written all over it. It really diluted the material.Still, overall, not too bad.

This was really fun! I don't watch Rebels (unless Ahsoka is a major character in an episode), so I don't really know anything about Kanan, but I might have to check the series out after this! It's a shame there's only one more volume to this series...

Another solid opening for a new Star Wars ongoing. It's good to see Weisman back on the scene; he makes the story quite accessible to someone like me, who's never watched Rebels (I'm working on it, don't hate me!).Art's great, though gets a little shaky in the final chapter. But it's definitely an auspicious beginning.

AHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGHHHHH!YOU CAN'T END THE VOLUME LIKE THAT I NEED THE NEXT ONE RIGHT NOW

“Execute order sixty-six!” These few words changed Kanan’s life. His master is quickly annihilated by her clone troopers; she died so he could escape with his life, a sacrifice he will never squander. But what can he actually do now? He is still a padawan and Darth Vader has just marched on the Jedi temple murdering his entire order. Kanan has no home and very little life experience. All he has is the teaching of the Jedi. But being a Jedi is now a crime; thus, he must learn to hide his id

I quite like the TV series Star Wars: Rebels. It's really well made for a kids' series, with character growth and change, unafraid of telling tough stories. That said, the tale is not overly complicated -- this is Star Wars, after all -- but one thing that I like about the show is that the characters are smart and competent. No one does something dumb just because the plot demands it.That same sort of care and effort is seen here, too. The storytelling is straightforward, the artwork is clear an...

Writer Greg Weisman takes his Star Wars Marvel comic in a slightly different direction than the others that’ve appeared this year by setting his before the original trilogy. Wuh-oh - that means we’re in prequel territory! But don’t worry, it’s begins right at the very end of Revenge of the Shit and afterwards the prequels are never mentioned again (except for one scene where the cowardly Obi-Wan pops up in a message - boo!). So what happens at the end of that movie? Well - spoilers - it sucked (...

I can see why this one was so positively received, a fun little origin story for our favourite ponytailed Force user. I already bought vol. 2, looking forward to completing the series!

Oh Kanan, the more of his backstory we learn, the more I love him.This comic is simply just excellent and i'm so in love with the art. The story is interesting, the characters are easy to love and I just can't wait to continue unravelling the mystery that is Kanan Jarrus.

Actually, not a bad book at all! Yes, it is in the prequel territory chronologically, but doesn't have much to do with those awful movies otherwise. I don't watch Rebels, but I didn't feel like I am missing anything, it was just a fun and enjoyable story. Nice art, too.

I love Star Wars: Rebels. It is, I think, a better show than Clone Wars was. That may have affected my enjoyment of this tie in comic, because I was already familiar with the characters, particularly Kanan himself. (Yes, I know he's still going by Caleb for the majority of this book, but I'll always know him as Kanan.) Then again, maybe not. I do feel like you basically have all the information that you really need to know about Kanan at that point in his life. It's definitely true to the charac...

Kanan is a new character to Rebels, but he was around during the Clone Wars. We've already had an origin story of him meeting Hera in A New Dawn, but this story goes back farther to the moment that ended the Clone Wars, Order 66. This is the first in-depth account of Order 66 in the new canon, other than the film. The relationship between Kanan and the clone troopers is very interesting. I'm very interested to see that relationship more if its origin is explored in Volume 2. This graphic novel r...

I just want to go on forever and ever about how great this was. The story, the art, everything. This was a perfect way to start this series.

Hands down the best new canon series I've read to date, though in all honest that's not saying much. But yes this is really really good.I like Star Wars Rebels, it's a fun part of the Star Wars universe to explore and I've gobbled up each episode weekly so when they announced this series I was very happy but also skeptical as tie in books are rubbish. So how does this first arc go for this series? Great!World: If you watch the tv show Star Wars Rebels you will fit right in, the world is fully fo...

*Book source ~ LibraryWe know who Kanan Jarrus is in Star Wars: Rebels. This graphic novel takes us back to the day of the infamous Order 66 and Jedi Padawan Caleb Dume’s journey to becoming someone else in order to survive.In this graphic novel: Kanan the Last Padawan, comics 1-6.I love getting back story especially when it’s about a character I know very little about. When I started watching Rebels I never really thought about how Kanan got to where he is today, fighting the Empire any way he

Most of the stars go to the artistic team Larraz/Curiel.I confess, I sit down with my kids every week and watch the newest Rebels cartoon. Not enough, and after not being very impressed with the current flagship Star Wars comic, I somehow ended up getting this (Yeah, "somehow", right. I had to pick it up obviously. Consciously. So there. Enough embarassement. Because I thought I would abstain from any licensed books).While Weisman's writing is solid and well in line with the animated version, La...
