I recently found my old copies of the movie adaptation comics for the PT that I bought when I was a kid, and much to my surprise the AOTC comic was actually pretty good. Obviously the confusing story and much of the bad dialogue was still there, but the overall visuals were much more interesting than what actually ended up in the movie. (No wonder I read the comic more than I actually watched the movie.)

Just take the scene where Anakin kills the Sand People;

The film version is pretty standard. Several wide-shots and a few closer shots. Boring and safe. It doesn’t really convey the gravity of the situation all that well.

Now, compare that to the comic version however;

Just look at how much more interesting this is. This feels like the beginning of the ‘slaughter’ that it was supposed to be, as opposed to the more action-esque scene we actually got in the movie.


Overall, compared to most movie adaptations, which tend to be pretty crap (the OT and especially ANH are exceptions), this series actually has some pretty great art.
