Marvel's Disney+ adaptations

[ChrisIII]

Any thoughts on these? I haven't read them myself as I'm mainly been focusing on the original comics stories.

So far they've adapted the first two seasons of the Mandalorian and currently working on Obi-Wan.

An Ahsoka adaptation was just announced.

No Book of Boba Fett or Andor though. I can kind of understand Andor (Which I don't think lends itself as easily to the comics format) but I presume BOBF might be on the way given Mandalorian season 2 just wrapped up it's adaptation. (I'm not sure if that issue featured the BOBF teaser that closed out season 2).


A Rise of Skywalker series was scheduled but cancelled due to the pandemic emerging around the time (Marvel's adaptations of the films and shows are often released months later, instead of concurrently with the movie like the first six films; maybe to avoid some of the weird oddities those had-like the old ESB adaptation pretty much confusing Piett and Ozzell for example, or some editions featuring a Yoda based on concept art).

I tried the Mandolorian one but it didn't offer anything new for someone who had already seen the show. I think for an adaptation to work it has to give the reader a little bit more than what they've already seen. Basically, it needs to take advantage of the medium, there are things for instance that would be cost prohibitive to do in the show but that's not an issue for a comic so why not include those little touches? Instead it's a paint by the numbers adaptation that's nearly scene for scene which is drab if you've seen it already.

That's interesting because their adaptations for TFA, TLJ, Solo and Rogue One featured a lot of deleted material, as well as some flashbacks such as Krennic and Galen first meeting when he rescues him from the Seperatists (As seen in the Catalyst novel).

Maybe it went off the beaten path later but the first four issues were one to one translations nothing extra.

It's not a bad adaption of the events of the series in comic form but there's not really much value in reading it unless you just...don't want to watch the show I guess?
