Whilst I don’t seem to have found time to have read the CW webcomics (at all) or any of the SW related comics beccatoria has recommended me over the past 1000 years, I did manage to sit down and read the first three page issue of Threat of Peace on The Old Republic website.
My opinion is…okay. Nothing special really.
To be fair though, it is only three pages and I think the actual words used in the comic can be counted as just nudging a triple figure. However, the idea of the Sith Empire sitting down to negotiations with the Jedi/Republic is awesome in and off itself for what it suggests for Star Wars history. I *love* this idea so much and, even though there’s always going to underhandedness of one sort or the other to keep the story moving along, I still love the fact that we now have the kind of freedom to show this stuff.
Other than that, it’s nice that the Original Trilogy dynamic is represented by use of the term ‘Imperial’ in relation to the Sith and that the Sithtroopers now have a ful Imperial officer ‘redeco’ to compliment their Stormtrooper-like ways. There’s a lot of Prequel Trilogy style going on in Jedi quarters as well, something that wasn’t present in the original KOTOR game.
Hopefully I’ll find time to return to this comic as its posted.
Once again, I find myself more excited about this game than I really have any sort of right being.
