Product Description: When Luke Skywalker, the New Republic`s greatest hero and sole Jedi Master, decides to marry Mara Jade, the woman who was once the Emperor`s personal assassin, you can be sure that hands both Imperial and New Republican will be raised to stop the marriage -- at any cost! Written by acclaimed Star Wars novelist Michael A. Stackpole (X-Wing Rogue Squadron; I, Jedi) and illustrated with photographic realism by Robert Teranishi, Union spotlights a monumental event in the Star Wars timeline that bridges the classic Star Wars trilogy to its boundless future a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away!
Not so hot I hate to rain on anyones parade, but I was very unimpressed with this book. To me, the dialog seemed strained, the plot disjointed and the love scenes overly syrupy. Sorry, but I think the reader can do better elsewhere.
SW: Union... ::yawn:: After reading all these glowing reviews of Star Wars: Union, I purchased it from Amazon.com. Unfortunately, it wasn't interesting, nor worth the money. Although the drawings were substandard compared to other Star Wars graphic novels, the story was awful. The plot consists of several Imperials who view Mara Jade (aka the Emperor's hand) and Luke Skywalker's wedding as a sign of bad things to come for their group. So, like most villains, they decide to crash the wedding at all costs. It sounded fairly interesting, but when read, it was executed very poorly. If you're a die-hard Star Wars fan and love Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker (I'm very interested in both characters), and don't care for a weak plot, then this is for you. For the remainder of the group, I suggest reading the other Mara Jade graphic novel, which is superior in all aspects to "Union".
Not as good as it could be This sometimes confusing comic should have had a great story. The idea was a good one. I am sorry to say that it didn't inspire the imagination or hold interest for long. Don't get me wrong. As comics go, this is okay. I read it completely through once, but will never feel the need to pick it up again. Die hard fans beware: You will not be falling in love with this one.
luke and mara make an adorable couple This is a great book. Luke and Mara are wonderful together, and 'Union' is a cute story about their wedding. Sometimes the pacing is a bit confusing, but overall a great comic.
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE this book! Great illustrations. I like having all the good characters around joking and stuff with no immediate chrisis and for a HAPPY occasion (very rare). And there was plenty of action. I definitley liked the "wedding crashers". Not to mention that I LOVE Mara Jade. She is funny and tough and totally fit to be a main character in the Star Wars universe.
