The script keeps returning to choices and consequences instead of allowing explanation to replace drama.

Taken as a whole, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2006) 20 is bursting with pulpy imagination and easy to recommend to readers exploring Marvel's catalogue in order. the closing pages move very quickly is the clearest reservation, but it does not erase the energy of the storytelling. The dilemma around Lord Adasca'is turns sacrifice into something personal, leaving the closing pages with enough weight to make this more than a catalogue curiosity.
