That has always felt like the true sequel trilogy for the OT heroes, and the best part is that it didn't rely on superweapons or a nasty, evil badguy. To my way of thinking, the best post-ROTJ material was the original Zahn trilogy. And some of the artwork, looknig back on it, just isn't my thing. The clone emperor thing didn't sit that well with me, trying to get into Leia's kids was weird, too. I never read Empire's End, so I don't know how it all concluded, but while I loved it when it first came out, I've never felt like Dark Empire aged all that well. Has a spinal mount super laser, akin to the Death Star's weapon.

The Eclipse, Super Star Destroyer (Very Cool Ship). I dug them.īoth ideas, at the time that Dark Empire came out, felt fresh and new and different enough from what we'd seen before.Īt least it wasn't another Death Star or an even bigger star destroyer (and DE had on of those too!) These are the Star Wars version of that idea. The Word Devastators: If you've ever played an old style strategy game, you had units that would suck up resources, break that down to useful molecule building parts, and then spit out units right there on the battlefield. The galaxy gun: it makes a lot more sense than the weapon on Starkiller base, firing a torpedo/ship that enters hyperspace and takes out a planet from a distance. BUT I did like other aspects of DE.Ĭonfucious sayeth, don't wash cat while drunk! I disliked the galay gun, those funky robots in the intro, and the crab walker/robot thinggies. I like that comic series as much as I like TESB. I think it's amazing-exactly what I want. The best extended story, post Jedi, that I've ever experienced, is Dark Empire.
