Marvel's various Star Wars mini-series have generally struggled to meet the standard of the various ongoing books like Jason Aaron's Star Wars and Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca's Darth Vader. For the most part, they tend to offer forgettable side-stories in a familiar character's early career. Jedi of the Republic: Mace Windu looks to be no different in that regard. This new series has it charms, but seems to offer little we haven't seen from the numerous other Clone Wars-focused projects of the past 15 years.
If anything, Mace Windu #1 plays out like the opening segment of an early episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, with Master Windu being tasked to lead a small band of Jedi Knights behind enemy lines on a critical mission for the Republic. There's little to set this generic premise apart. And while writer Matt Owens introduces a mildly interesting villain very late in the game, the scope of the conflict seems very small and unremarkable at this early stage. If Marvel is going to publish a Mace Windu comic, why not explore the character's early life, before he acquired his coveted Jedi Master title?
