Star Wars Legends 1: Infinities

I got this for my husband for Christmas and he loved it. He has already read it twice. This book presents alternate stories based on if there was a change in a specific point of time in Star Wars. For example, if a particular battle had been won by the other side or if Luke decided to join Darth Vader on the Death Star. It is a deep cut of Star Wars knowledge and some of the points in time are rather esoteric, but for a true Star Wars fanatic and comic book fan, this is a great match.

I must begin by saying that I heard of this stories back when they were released but I never bought them. I looked forward to buying them and luckily they were released in this format.I had a lot of fun reading them. There are 3 infinities stories. The first story is set during a new hope and deals with the ramifications of the death star not exploding. To me this story was great, it explores luke's character and the complete training that he receives from master yoda for 5 years. It does show that after the death star destroys Yavin IV the galaxy falls into a state of full peace. It was great to see that the story uses elements of the prequels, the jedi temple is shown. Overall I thought this first story was great.The second story deals with what IF luke has died frozen on hoth. I thought this story created a deep insight into han and leia. Leia finds out the truth about her parents and accepts her destiny and she trains with master yoda and she receives a full jedi training. This story was rich and just like the first story, it adds mace windu, young obi wan and padme. I liked this story but towards the end it had me wanting for me.The third stories is about han and the IF his rescue hadn't gone according to plan. His rescue was a very intricate part of the resolution of the main story and once that event change a lot of other events changed with it as well and the end results are very fascinating specially the story's finale.I enjoyed the 3 stories but unfortunately I dislike their overpriced cost, $26 is a lot of money for 3 stories. I also didn't like the fact that the story based on the original screenplay The Star Wars was added to this collection. The Star wars is an ok story but it doesn't deserve to be added this collection. One more thing that caught my attention was they didn't add the Dark Horse comics credit on this book. It has the Marvel logo and the Disney logo but not the logo of the ones who created this story.Overall, I like this book and i enjoy the stories and the way if scenarios that it showcases. As a word of advice if I were you i would definitely buy once it gets cheaper don't pay the $26 I paid.

Do you like the original Star Wars Trilogy? Do you like else world/what if stories? Do you wanna see R2 curse like a sailor, or Jedi Leia? If you answered yes to any of this questions get this trade, it well worth it for the massive amount of content it has. All 3 stories are like 4 issues long, and "The Star Wars" is like 8. It's a simple idea executed perfectly. This might be my favorite Star Wars comic, or any extended SW media honestly.

While marvel, under the auspices of Disney ownership has rereleased these, dark horse is the originator. The infinities stories are a what if of star wars, while the final story, based on the original screenplay for star wars, is fun, if this had been the released film, we might not have the juggernaut industry it became. Still, the star wars is fun. Many characters became one and many of the names are familiar. This tome is a must for any star wars fan.

I'm giving a split rating here.The What If takes of alternative unfolding of events in the movies of the original trilogy are fun. I like seeing the old characters, especially since they're written well, especially Han. I did not like how you can see the prequel movies influencing them, such as young Obi-Wan with the braid showing up, and Anakin as a little boy as his mother yells "Ani!" Totally unnecessary; I wish we could just forget that the prequels happened. These occurrences are not significant, but I disliked them nonetheless. Other than that, I thought these three stories would work well leading into ongoing series, though as far as I know the four issues are all we will get. 4/5Now: The Star Wars. A comic book created from the first draft of the Star Wars movie we know and love. It's so vastly different from the world we're familiar with that it just didn't grab me. I thought it would be interesting to see what the original idea was, but I was left confused and indifferent to what was happening that I didn't finish it. I'd rather read a Wikipedia page about the first draft than a comic book inspired by it. 2/5If you're in it for the What If stories, it's a fun time, and if you're interested in digging into a realized story from the first draft, you might like that as well. Ultimately the first three stories were fun but not very memorable, and the final one was just bland.

These alternate versions of the stories we know so well are entertaining and definitely worth a read for any Star Wars fan. It's fun to think "what if this didn't go right in the original story?" and see what the characters do and what the conclusion is. My only complaints are that you'd expect these alternate takes to end worse than they did and "The Star Wars" adaptation of George Lucas' rough draft, while interesting for fans, was definitely an unpolished story.

It was an entertaining read. The what if? stories were better than I thought they would be. Yoda was great in one of them. The Star Wars based on the original draft from George Lucas, was a good read, but lets say I am happy Star Wars (the movie) turned out to be a lot different than this. The price for this collection is a bit too much, but if you can find it from a third seller for a good price, go for it.

I recently got this used copy Star Wars Epic Collection: Infinities (Star Wars Legends) for a friend of my for his belated birthday and so far he has mostly enjoys it

I got this for Dad for Father's Day, the what if concept was always interesting was The Star Wars on how it originally looked was the thing that really interested me

A great collection of counterfactuals centred around the original trilogy.The original script is also lovingly included.

👍
