Great collection

The Tales of the Jedi were a great series of comics, collected and published as trade paper backs. While these originals can be hard to find now, you can find them all in a two-volume set. Recommended to all Star Wars fans, and particularly fans of the new Knights of the Old Republic games and comics - this is where all of that got its start.

Jedilicious

Star Wars Omnibus: Tales of the Jedi, Vol. 1 is a great read! I recently started to read all the Star Wars comics in order of timeline and this is the first book in the history. It is very enjoyable and sheds light on the early Jedi and Sith adventures. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn about the beginnings of Sith's infiltration of the Republic. Collects Tales of the Jedi: Golden Age of the Sith, Fall of the Sith Empire, and Knights of the Old Republic.

A little complex, but entertaining

I have read both Volumes, although it is a lot of information, there is not enough time to feel empathy with the characters, that only happens at the end of the second volume. I was expecting kind of how did all start it, it wasn't the case, they talk about a previous great war with the first Sith, but I haven't found that book yet. OTOH I love the fact that I don't have to chase for several little books, just 2 big ones and that's it, I am going to but the next ones once they reach Omnibus flavor.

Slow start and mediocre art but the stories more than make up for it.

I'm a huge Star Wars fan and love the Knights of the Old Republic games. I recently finished KOTOR 2 for the first time and all the while I was playing it I was thinking of how I want to read the KOTOR comics and the Tales of the Jedi comics that take place before them. I picked up this omnibus and wasn't too excited about the art. I felt I was going to have to just get through it. I'm really not a fan of the art is this book, especially being such a big fan of the Republic and Legacy comics which have amazing art! To me Tales started off kind of slow. After about 45 pages though I found myself hooked and unable to put it down. I read through the book in about a week. Then I had to go and buy the second one which I'm about half way through now and it's even more engrossing. My point is, if you're not a fan of the art, just keep reading, the story is so good you'll overlook it and maybe even enjoy the style. If you're a fan of the Knights of the Old Republic video games, this is a great back story and has a similar feel.

Excellent graphic novel

Omnibus Tales of the Jedi is really my first experience with the Star Wars graphic novels published by Dark Horse. I must say that the experience was a pleasure. The book was entertaining and just has a great look about it. This one collects the earliest known tales about the Jedi and Sith originally published in comic book form with the action taking place several thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. The tales in the book are from the comic book stories "The Golden Age of the Sith," "The Fall of the Sith Empire," "Knights of the Old Republic," and "The Freedon Nadd Uprising," The Golden Age of the Sith: Prologue - 5,000 years before Yavin. We are introduced to a young Jedi named Odan-Urr as he is ordered to leave his study of old scrolls and documents and head off to the planet of Cinnagar to assist the Empress Teta. We also get to meet the brother and sister team of Gav and Jori Daragon in their early days. The Golden Age of the Sith - 5,000 years before Yavin. The Sith Lord Marka Ragnos ruled the galaxy until his death ignited a battle for ascension. Great battles and evil doings among the Sith ensue. The Daragons are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Ulic Qel-Droma and the Beast Wars of Onderon - 4,000 years before Yavin. Qel-Droma and two others are sent to the system of Onderon to help deal with the beast riders who are creating havoc. Once there they become involved with rescuing the queen's daughter who has been kidnapped The Saga of Nomi Sunrider - 3,999 years before Yavin. We see the beginnings of Nomi Sunrider's rise to becoming a great Jedi Knight. The Omnibus is great fun to read, and I look forward to more of them from Dark Horse.
