Review: Jedi Fallen Order: Dark Temple

Creators: Rosenberg, Villanelli, Prianto, Sabino, Checchetto
I'm not a gamer, but when I saw that one of the main characters in the new Jedi Fallen order game was a WOC I became intrigued. In this five issue mini series set several years before Order 66 we learn more about Cere, the woman who will be a mentor to the star of the game Cal Ketsis. Mast This first issue is all about Cere and her relationship with her mentor Master Cordova. Cere is very powerful and has a passionate nature that often leads her to misread situations. 
Her master has a deft hand with Cere. He values her strength and gently leads her to use her mind as well as her strength in the force. The issue ends with the pair being sent on an important mission to Ontotho a planet that has recently joined the Republic. 
The council is interested in helping open trade routes on the planet and also to examine the remains of a possible jedi temple.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this story unfolds.

I Am A Sith by Nicholas & Kennett

I'm such a fan of these books. This book has a Dark Side Slant, with readers learning about the Sith. This book really falls in line with the current canon in Star Wars. It describes the rule of two and the history of other dark side users like Ventress and Darth Maul.
This book covers many of the Dark Sides fiercest battles and darkest foes. A must for fans of Star Wars books.

Review: Star Wars Red Harvest by Joe Schreiber



I was a huge fan of Joe's Death Troopers so I was excited to read this prequel. Set during the Old Republic, a time when the Sith were at their peak, Red Harvest reveals the origins of the virus that causes the dead to rise. All this is due to the machinations of a power hungry Darth. Scarbrous

Darth Scabrous,a prominent member of the Sith academy is on a quest for an ultimate power. Scabrous even uses his fellow Sith as test subjects in his experiments. He faces repeated failures due to the lack of one ingredient : a black orchid.


When some smuggler scum find the Orchid in the hands of an agriculture center run by the Jedi, Scabrous now has his formula with tragic results. Now the Sith temple is under siege from it's own members.

I really enjoyed this book, It has all the elements of an enjoyable horror tale with lightsabers! Lots of lightsabers!

It took a while for the story to get rolling but there are  some great battle  scenes, and zombie action.

Seeing a different side of the Jedi was also a great component of this book.

Hestizo Trace is a force sensitive that works for the Jedi Agricultural Corps.It is Hestizo's orchid that starts the horrible chain of events.

Another solid entry in one of my favorite zombie mash ups.
