I wish this was part of the sequels! Exciting, action packed and lots of emotion. Luke and Leía fighting the Emperor, I love this! On another note, what was Vader doing between the battle at Yavin and The Empire Strikes Back? I would love to hear you cover that story if you haven’t already.
He hung out with some space hyenas for a bit and had an existential crisis. I kid you not. For those wondering, it was Star Wars Empire issue 14, The Savage Heart
Legends lore (2009 Essential Atlas) attempted to reconcile Palpatine's return in Dark Empire with the prequels in-universe, by stating Anakin didn't so much bring Balance through singlehandedly destroying Sidious and the Sith, but rather through cutting him off from his powerbase, effectively bringing about the Sith's downfall. There's also the unpublished content from Jedi Path, which hints at the Prophecy originating long before the Sith order was even born.
Honestly, I never liked this story. It was off putting with Luke joining the dark side for a bit, it just didn't fit his character. And the emperor reborn is a fine concept, I guess, but it just felt a little contrived. I think it would have been better if there were clones of Palpatine fighting one another with their own imperial splinter factions to seize control... And maybe even a clone that turned away from the dark side which would explain why Leia and Han were confused and thought Luke had joined the dark side. It would have worked even better as a ruse to overthrow the remaining evil clones. I really liked the art of this comic, though, and it inspired my art style down the road, too.
If the Mon Calamari are Kaput/Fini/Telos , can they be utilised by Homosapien without it being weird ? With blue milk, cheese,olives,sardines, octopus ,carbs , horticulture and wine plus death sticks and then some 👊

Way way better than the sequels
Dark Empire Sidious>TROS Sidious
Dark empire, darth plagueis and destinys way are my favorite star wars stories.

It's clear to see what RoS took from this. I always preferred this take
How the Sequels should've been lol 😆
agree
@@MarquezRobinson this, the thrawn trilogy, the duology, the NJO books, there’s a lot of legends stuff that deserves adaptions over the shit we got
Luke: "My destiny has led me to the darkside of the force, and this is the only way to save the galaxy."
Leia: "Bullcrap."

This is much better than sequels
Presumably
Please cover the last two parts of the trilogy.
There’s more to this story. How Anakin Solo was almost possessed
Yes, this is just Dark Empire, not DE2 and Empire's End 👍
The Emperor thought that the living force would allow him to do that? I mean really :/

What if ahsoka was the one who betrays the clones on umbara?
There’s no way this story didn’t inspire The Rise of Skywalker. So many similar story beats
@kylehill9121 I'm pretty sure Disney read this arc and stole uh... I mean used it for rise of skywalker
