this was really cute !! any time that i can see hera is a good time but besides that i think this was a really good selection of stories, especially for young girls.

This was a great collection of comics based on the women of Star Wars. My favorite story was the first one with Leia. ~ Koala ^-^

I really enjoyed the art of Leia's story, which features Leia, Han, Hera and some unruly tauntauns!I really liked Rey's story, although the art didn't gel with me as much.Hera's solo story was interesting, with nice art. I think she's the character I know the least about and I like her a lot here.I loved this story about Ahsoka and Padmé, and seeing Amidala's Handmaidens, whom I have such a soft spot for, was so nice (although I'd love a comic just about them, please!)Rose and Paige's story was

Fun One ShotsLoved seeing the women of Star Wars off on adventures that were very THEM. Elsa’s art is striking as always!

Wonderful short stories about the ladies of Star Wars at different points in time. My favorite was the Paige and Rose Tico comic.

This features all 5 Forces of Destiny stories published by IDW.Leia's story was my favourite, loved the style and colours. Han and Hera are featured, and they sound like themselves.Rey's story was a bit disappointing, mostly being an adaptation of the FoD animated shorts.Hera has an original, albeit irrelevant story. Reads like one of the german rebels comic (makes sense).Ahsoka & Padme was alright, Barriss makes an appearance.Rose & Paige was very Disney in both art and story. Take that as you

Won this in a Good Reads giveaway - thank you! I'm not much of a Star Wars fan, but enjoyed reading through this book. The rest of my family ARE Star Wars fans, and thoroughly enjoyed reading through and discussing it, even though it is a picture book. I am very grateful for the opportunity for the family to enjoy this book. They were all happy to agree on the 4 star review.

I've been getting these at the library to read to my three year old daughter, who can't get enough of them. We have been reading the individual comics, not them all collected in one graphic novel, but I think we have read all of them. Bea wants ALL the Star Wars girls please. I think she likes the Leia one the best. It takes place on Hoth. The Rey one is good too. They are all good. Short stories, a little bit of drama, nothing too scary, good for kids.

Half "Star Wars Adventures" and half the character-centric one-shots Disney ran as miniseries, this anthology pairs the five most significant female Star Wars characters or duos with five rising female comic creators. Some of the stories click better than others, like Hera's solo outing (with Chopper), while others (the Paige and Rose story) feel a little undercooked; nonetheless, the shifting art style gives us five distinct indie-style artistic visions for these familiar characters and setting...

An entire volume of misandry and feelings rather than facts for your reading un-pleasure. Just one example - Amidala decides to tell a young padawan she's just as good of a Jedi as Anakin. Lets pause and think about the massive failure in judgement on display here. And the author thinks it's a compliment.

This was cute. Forces of Destiny was the series of shorts Disney produced about the female characters in Star Wars. This was much the same, a collection of one-shots with varying artists and authors. I liked Hera's run and even Rose. But Leia's was too silly and OOC and Rey's was super lame. Padme is once again under utilized but Ahsoka was bad ass. It's cute, simple, child-friendly but can be skipped overall.

Delightful

This book is clearly aimed at young Star Wars fans, and gets bonus points for being entirely about the female characters in the Star Wars saga. They have too often been left out of the fun adventure stuff, but this one even includes a story of sisters Rose and Paige, set before the newest movies. That one and the Princess Leia story were my favorites, with both of them providing character development and back story material that was really cool. The Rey story was well-written, but only added a s...

The never say die attitude, and never giving up till the job is done, and the platitudes of leadership from the Rebellion.The first story features Leia dealing with emergency supplies and and an unruly worker.The second story shows how much trouble Rey and BB8 get into in one day.The third story is Hera brining a new colony into the rebellion, while shaking off the Imperial overseers.The fourth story stars Ashoka & Padme using some aggressive negotiations to bring systems back into the Republic....

I love these. They are perfect for kids, the expand on scenes that are well known to the films as well as the Forces of Destiny shorts from Disney. It also did a great job at character crossovers. While these are geared for young readers, specifically girls, I appreciate how they are trying to bring everyone into Star Wars because it is for everyone. Star Wars has always been amazing at female characters and these young reader comics are no exception!

I was surprised how much I liked this. There's more substance to the stories than in any volume of Star Wars Adventures I've read so far, and I was really pleased to see the consistent theme of never giving up, always getting up no matter how many times you're knocked down, and believing in your own worth and abilities. In a property marketed toward young girls, they could've easily just taken the opportunity to put characters in a bunch of pretty costumes to try and sell toys, but instead they

Each chapter features one or more of the women of Star Wars. It deals, in a completely non-didactic way, themes of courage, creativity, persistence, and cooperation.

Star Wars Adventures is, undoubtedly, a kids' comic series. I've enjoyed some of the volumes before, but this was just so-so. Some of the stories are adaptations of Forces of Destiny shorts, which are much more enjoyable than their comic counterparts, and the rest of the stories are unremarkable, neither exceptionally fun or significant. An okay read for what it is, but doesn't really transcend its limited audience.

This is a collection that contains five different short stories and it focuses on the women of this universe. The characters that are in this collection are Ahsoka and Padme, Hera, Leia, Rey, and Paige. I believe there is two ways of looking at this collection. If you are an adult looking for more material from this world and stories added to the massive overall arc, this collection is not what you are looking for. If this collection will be read by children, it is perfect for them. Adults are n...

Arguably, while Princess Leia was always a great character, it wasn't until the 21st century that Star Wars developed an entire cast of strong female heroes. Fortunately, that's changed, and Forces of Destiny (the animated shorts, the books, the toy line, and now this comic book collection) celebrates those heroes. This book collects five stories focusing on Leia (with guest star Hera), Rey, Hera (on her own), Ahsoka and Padme, and Rose and Paige. The stories function as character studies as muc...
