TITLE: Star Wars: Yoda #3
AUTHOR: Cavan Scott
ARTISTS: Nico Leon, Dono Sanchez-Almara (Colorist), Joe Caramagna (Letterer). Cover by Phil Noto.
RELEASED: January 25, 2023
The book’s inaugural story wraps up here. I haven’t necessarily been enthralled with the story up to this point. But Scott, Leon, and their crew stuck the landing with this story about a conflict between two alien races, and an ending that feels true to what the Jedi Order fight for. This is the strongest Star Wars: Yoda has been yet.
Leon and Sanchez-Almara’s renderings of Yoda really stood out to me this month. They may have a better handle on the character than any team I’ve seen recently.

A Star Wars: Yoda #2 Micro-Review – Diminutive Yet Powerful

Yet another great Star Wars cover by Phil Noto. I love that Yoda looks diminutive, yet still so powerful.
This series sees Yoda take up residence on the planet Turrak to help a village. It’s interesting to see Yoda live somewhere that isn’t the Jedi Temple or Dagobah. That’s something we’ve rarely, if ever, seen.
Question: Could this story have taken place during the High Republic era? It feels like we haven’t gotten a lot of Yoda stories from that time period. Thus far there’s nothing in this story that specifically ties it to the prequel era. So why not?

Nico Leon and Dono Sanchez-Almara really hit this one out of the park from an artistic perspective. Leon has a great handle on Yoda. There’s a gorgeous full-page shot of him, lightsaber lit, standing atop a smouldering surface.
And of course, I’m a sucker for Phil Noto drawing Star Wars. So I’m very pleased with the cover.
On the writing side of things, this is a pretty standard, yet still nice tale about Yoda saving a tribe of villagers from an evil force. It’s most of what you want and expect from a solo Yoda story.
