Tales #11 (spoilers)

For some reason, I enjoyed Prey. Another take on the whole Han leaving the Empire bit was refreshing to be, and something about Boba Fett holding an ignited ligthsaber sent shivers up my brain stem.

 

I thought this issue was pretty well done. I especially liked "Ghost."

In the intro, is that guy waiting in line with the Yoda ears and I am not Dave Land t-shirt supposed to be Darth Ludicrous?

 

It was a great issue. One of the best yet.

Ghost was and the Liea stroy were my favs

 

Thanks very much skawookiee and Amidala Starkiller -- I'm certainly glad to hear you enjoyed "The Princess Leia Diaries"!

jason have you got any more star wars stories coming up in the future?

 

Just a thought or three...

I need to buy this issue... Ghost and TPLD sound great...

Can Boba hold his own with Vader? The likely answer to this depends on some AotC spoilers...

- The Imperial Ewok

 

Regarding Prey and Fett wielding a lightsaber:
Look at the panels again. Fett never attacks Vader. He only uses the lightsaber to protect himself and block.
I think it?s entirely believable that Fett would have melee combat training, and would be able to use a lightsaber to block with, if only for a short time (and it was a short time ? it?s not like Fett ever did anything remotely fancy with the lightsaber, and Vader was still able to disarm him.)

Also, what is up with the comments about authors getting it wrong, ?it doesn?t fit continuity?, etc. The whole purpose of Infinities is so that writers can write fun or unique stories without having to worry about the continuity. Just try to read these stories as stand-alone episodes, and not part of the rest of the EU.

Nothing in #12, but I'll have at least one or two more stories coming up after that -- and I hope to do more!

Thanks!

Well, I agree with Nathan Butler and his Timeline: Ghost may take place following Han's expulsion from the Imperial Navy, so just before Hutt Gambit. YMMV however.
