And defending absolute garbage like expanded universe is just the latest proof.
Bro imagine if this was what we got for the sequel trilogy... That would be like so much better than what we got! In fact, it might be as good as the original trilogy!
I read this when it first came out I was a kid I used to go to a comic book store that is now a liquor store never got so excited about Star Wars as much as I did about this particular series back then thank you
This was fantastic. Well done! This another great example of how all the wonderful Expanded Universe stories would have made much better movies than the trash Disney trilogy.

It’s all good. I’ll be 46 this yr. So when Star Wars turns 46 in May. My birthday comes 4 months later. Star Wars born 5/4/1977. Me:9/14/1977. I remember ROTJ where I live in 1983.

Ur fortunate, when I was a boy: we had to go to a bookstore. Now everything is online. Which makes it alot easier.

YES. Canon is what we want it to be. They rip off it all the time. Kyo Ren was basically a rip off of Revan from TOR. Jedi, then turned, then redeemed. Even the mask is a little similar. I know not all the EU novels and comics were great, but much of it was really good and all we had for a while. That and games. To toss it all aside then blatantly rip off it is a slap to fans who kept it alive. So, I choose to enjoy the EU as the timeline.
Haven't read Dark Empire 1 and 2 in quite some time, and it's still objectively better then TLJ. I love how you expanded on the dialogue. Jesus this is good.
I am truly glad to see you back on UA-cam again!! I love your sw uploads and have been watching your channel for awhile now! Thank you for all the hard work, cant wait 4 more!!!
The devastation in Legends easily reaches the scale of the worst theaters of WW2 and the worst wars in China's history on a galactic scale. Operation Shadow Hand's offensives kill such a huge number of people that even mass murderers like Grievous and Tarkin would have found it unbelievable. On the core worlds alone the Imperials kill several billion people, even en single planets. And then comes the Yuuzhan Vong War which kills like 365 trillion across the Galaxy. I wonder how the hell the protagonists manage to continue living despite all this eternal shit war.
This is what should've happened. If Star Wars stays in 20th Century Fox and create a Sequel Trilogy instead. (However, Disney took Star Wars away, rebooted and changed Star Wars stories into something else, a nightmare.)
George Lucas Sold Lucas Films, which includes Star Wars LP, Skywalker Sound, Lucas Arts, ILM, Indiana Jones LP, THX which is now owned by Razor. Fox never owned Star Wars they had Distribution rights of 1-6 movies with Disney buying Fox they now are able to distribute all the movies.

Kudos to you for an entertaining audio comic video!! I wasn't fond of the motion scenes of the Rebel forces battling the Imperial World Devastators seen from the Star Wars: Dark Empire video game, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. I also liked the video billboard from the Blade Runner movie seen as the Millennium Falcon was flying in Nal Hutta!! Great job!!!
@ right? I made this comment before certain details were leaked. Now that I've heard that it's all about rebuilding the Galaxy and the main villain would have been the criminal underworld ruled by Darth Maul, I'm extremely upset. We could have had something special.
What? You mean throwing a hundred+ million dollars into production budget with special effects but terrible dialog isn't better than a good script and we'll written storyline???? I'm asking for a friend... .... friend named Hollywood 😧☹️😔
That was a great recap of something I read 20 odd years ago. During the entire movie I thought that Lando was perfect and it turns out to be Billy Dee!
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! I had all these comics and some in graphic novel form. All Dark Horse Star Wars and all the old Marvel ones. Every single one! A few yearss ago, our basement was flooded with 3 feet of water and 75% of them were destroyed! This graphic novel was one was one that was unsalvagable. So thable a tonne!
Sometimes a presentation like this is actually better than a movie. We get great dialogue and just enough accompanying imagery to let our minds fill the rest in. Sometimes the transition into live action leaves gaps or just doesn't quite capture the story as well.
For those viewers interested in getting a printed hardcopy of the entire Dark Empire comic book series including Dark Empire II and Empire's End, Marvel just reissued it as a single trade paperback volume in their Star Wars Epic Collection: The New Republic omnibus series. It currently retails for about $40.
This is amazing artwork with spectular backgrounds! Amsome voice acting! I think this came out in 1997 bye Dark horse comics! This is what should have turned into the next Starwars trilogy! Not the Last Jedi!
Well I find the concept of canon a bit out of place. What's canon, what the current license holder puts out despite harboring an open contempt for the fans, seeing them as an impediment to their agenda? Or that which had the blessing of its creator and was made by people who loved this wonderful world building sandbox? I think the answer writes itself, the reason Disney acquired Star Wars was it was a magnificent platform and it was a magnificent platform because of the fans. It's always been the fans who determine what is culturally relevant and what is just another forgotten product. At some point, Disney will be unable or uninterested in putting more money into their spin on this franchise which was wounded horribly on Episode VII, mortally on VIII and was just butchered beyond recognition on IX. The other shows made sure to cool off any embers on their spin on Star Wars. Disney's Star Wars is dead, long live Star Wars.
Thanks for making this! Wasn't super into Dark Empire personally, but it was at least better than the ST. One major critique though: You don't have to make the sound effect volume so much louder than the dialogue.
Not writing a new comment every time: Please shut up about the sequels. When I got into star wars, everyone was bashing the prequels and the anakin hate made the hate Rey gets look like a light dislike.

Couple of minor issues in this adaptation: Vima Sunrider’s flashback scene- The young Vima seen there was 10 years after the war of Exar Kun, 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. How could she, a human, still be alive after 4,000 years? It can’t be the same Vima Sunrider, it must be one of her distant descendants, unless there is time travel involved. The young Emperor’s duel with Luke in the cloning chamber- why is the young clone speaking with the voice of the dead old man? Surely he would have a young voice?
Chris Allen : Thanks, that explains that. But the flashback scenes were definitely of a young Vima Sunrider, so the error is the movie maker’s, not mine.
I see how people can maybe assume the sequels took inspiration from Legends. Palpatine coming back, Han and Leia’s son turning to the dark side, and Luke acting out of character.
Impressive Luke defeated a full powered Palpatine Luke has approximately 14,500 Midichlorians and Palpatine 20,500 Midichlorians both were trained well and with full power
That's a False you can't go off of fan made websites. Anakin was 20k midichlorians and the Emperor himself said Luke was stronger than his father so he would have had at to at least be over that close to maybe 30k
I had the audio version of dark empire on cassette in the good old days also owned the comic which originally was gonna be published by marvel then dark horse got the license it’s nearly the same cast that did the original radio play adaptions of the original trilogy Any one who finds this interesting I highly recommend you seek out the radio play adaption of both Star Wars and empire. Jedi is pretty much same as the film but the radio adaptions of esb and a new hope flesh out a lot of scenes
Leia's slow progression into the force is how character development should be. She has a few great moments to show her development, but she is still clearly learning.

It can’t be the same Vima Sunrider, it must be one of her distant descendants, unless there is time travel involved.
The young Emperor’s duel with Luke in the cloning chamber- why is the young clone speaking with the voice of the dead old man? Surely he would have a young voice?
you notes that. i added that in on peruse just to get you to ask those questions
theory: once a jedi reaches enlightenment they stop ageing. only a enlighten jedi can force ghost. palpatine wanted immortality with out enlightenment
Dark Empire Vima is Vima Da Boda, not Vima Sunrider. Two different characters. That's not even a question.

Chris Allen : Thanks, that explains that. But the flashback scenes were definitely of a young Vima Sunrider, so the error is the movie maker’s, not mine.
@@timonsolus i put that error in there just so for you
This should've been a movie that the theaters and on DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I see how people can maybe assume the sequels took inspiration from Legends. Palpatine coming back, Han and Leia’s son turning to the dark side, and Luke acting out of character.
If this is the audio drama from legends you sir are a god that is of more value to society than Kathleen Kennedy will ever be🤣🤣
Why is the audio on critically low health?
I can't believe you got Billy Dee Williams for this.
Man we gotta get all these small Star Wars comic channels together and make a super channel it’d be amazing to see some Colabs
hmm
Impressive Luke defeated a full powered Palpatine Luke has approximately 14,500 Midichlorians and Palpatine 20,500 Midichlorians both were trained well and with full power
That's a False you can't go off of fan made websites. Anakin was 20k midichlorians and the Emperor himself said Luke was stronger than his father so he would have had at to at least be over that close to maybe 30k
Majority of us fans don't care about a midachlorian count.
I had the audio version of dark empire on cassette in the good old days also owned the comic which originally was gonna be published by marvel then dark horse got the license
it’s nearly the same cast that did the original radio play adaptions of the original trilogy
Any one who finds this interesting I highly recommend you seek out the radio play adaption of both Star Wars and empire. Jedi is pretty much same as the film but the radio adaptions of esb and a new hope flesh out a lot of scenes
Wow this is really nice. Thanks for uploading.
This is really fucking good.
