Darth Vader.

Both legs chopped off.

Only one arm.

Left on the lave beds of Mustafar.

No, we're not talking about the end of 'Revenge of the Sith' here, but about part of what happens to Vader in this, the second compilation of Greg Pak's run on the Darth Vader series of graphic novels (here, comprising issues 6 through 11), at the behest of The Emperor, who has found out about Vader's previous 'failings' from Volume 1 (Star Wars: Darth Vader by Greg Pak, Vol. 1: Dark Heart of the Sith in which he allowed his personal feelings to get the better of him.

This run also introduces Ochi of Bestoon - who The Emperor has sent to kill Vader - and actaulyl makes a better attempt at tying together the Original Trilogy and the Sequel Trilogy (with Vader discovering about, and travelling to Exegol and encountering the Sith Eternal) than any of those latter movies did!

A great start to a classic trilogy
A great start to an epic story. Sir Ian McKellen is the stand out actor for me. This is a top quality film in every aspect. The only downside is it ends at a point where you feel right in the middle of a key scene.

It ends
This is the final book in the Hunger Games trilogy and I absolutely enjoyed it. It had a few turning points for Katniss and company as well as a thrilling conclusion to the drama. But, the ending could have had more going for it. Don't get me wrong, I was all for who she ends up with, but I felt it could have done more with it.

Brilliant Political Thrillar
This book should be one of the greats, it is very addictive once you get into it. I read the trilogy in about a week. Lisbeth Salander is a character that you fall in love with and empathise a great deal with. Her trials through out the book are heart breaking and you feel free once she has over come them. Even when she get revenge, although it is pretty gruesome.

The first of the trilogy where we see Nero (Keanu Reeves) start his fight through the Matrix with his mind linked to a computer which shows up a load of lines on green background which are all a special code. Keanu as Nero also has to decide which pill to take red or blue. Some excellent martial art moves are shown in these moves as well as some high tech scenes.

The Dominion trilogy concludes with our heroes trying to find any way they can to stop Oblivion from unleashing his end game. While some elements made me roll my eyes, for the most part I was pulled into this fantasy story from page one. This one also finally includes some Christian themes.

This Middle Grade trilogy comes to an end as modern day teen Greg Rich must figure out a way to save seventeenth century France and find the stone that will take his family home. Fasted paced action made it hard to put down, and I loved every second of the race to the end.

Another film in the series that got better than the one before.
It should have ended on this one. (0 more)
World's end - The end.
See this is actually my favourite of the three main films. With any film trilogy it needs to get bigger and better than the one before which this definitely does. It ends with all loose ends tied up nicely, should have left it there really.

Excellent addition to the Zombie/Apocalypse genre
A unique and brilliant addition to the Zombie/Apocalypse genre
This is the first book in the Decaying Days trilogy. It introduces you to compelling and relatable characters facing the unthinkable. An outbreak that is destroying humanity but a serum was supposed to fix everything, but did it? Humans are showing mutations in their fight to survive the afflicted.
