I wasn’t planning on picking up either of these volumes of “Star Wars: Vector.” As Dark Horse editor and co-founder Randy Stradley states in his introduction, this crossover was done so that the company could bring a little of the sales sizzle that Marvel and DC get for their events to the “Star Wars” comic line. Fine, whatever.

So while “Vector” is only two volumes, it’s also the fifth volume of “Knights of the Old Republic,” the second of “Dark Times,” the fourth for “Rebellion,” and the sixth for “Legacy.” It may sound confusing, but the end result is actually much more readable and enjoyable than I was expecting.
