  • In 1997 - 1998, Dark Horse released the Crimson Empire comic series by writers Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley and art done by Paul Gulacy, P. Craig Russell, Sean Konot, and Dave Stewart. An audiodrama was released in 1999 with a whole new team separate from the Dark Empire audiodramas. This definitive edition combines the two along with adding some new music by John Williams and Mark Griskey. Enjoy!

      Disney won't take these down unless they renew their contracts with Time Warner/Highbridge and NPR, which they haven't since 2017 I believe. They did renew their contract with Bantham audio so I just think they don't care about these audiodramas.
