Dark Empire iiar
Utterly pointless sequel to the original Dark Empire What little story there is takes everything that was weak about the original and maximises to the Nth degree The Emperor returns again nullifying the Skywalker confrontation at the end of the first book doing nothing but bark orders Boba Fett returns again and rehashes the same shit he pulled in the first book and superweapons return again There is very little this comic offers It has the same crap colours as the first Luke Skywalker has a completely pointless romance that barely lasts a few panels starships that run on steam power HAHAHAHAHA TOOT TOOT and Leia is running around shooting up Bounty Hunters engaging in lightsaber fights WHILE SIX MONTHS PREGNANT Ugh I truly don t know why this exists Dark Empire II offers up nothing but an opportunity for its creators to con fans out of a few Good thing I hired it from the library then so I can return this tree killer for the next sucker to pick up AVOID Tom Veitch I have an idea for the sequel The Emperor uses the galaxy gun to shoot at New Alderaan but Luke goes out in a ship to stop the attack by the power of the Force The Emperor sends a ship with 45 Darkside Warriors to stop Luke but Han Solo manages to get them to accidentally crash into a nearby moon The Emperor reveals his real ultimate weapon a spaceship the size of a planet that goes to kill Luke but the Rebel Alliance reveals that they have a space ship the size of a planet too which is commanded by Lando Calrissian and they blow up the Emperor s ship Then the Emperor reveals his real ultimate weapon a machine that lets him mind control anyone in the universe that he wants but when he tries to use it on Leia the rest of the good Jedi help her resist Then the Emperor reveals his real ultimate weapon a clone of Leia s baby that he made in the brief time she spent on Byss which he then possesses and forces Luke to kill a baby in order win the battle Instead Luke uses the power of the Force to exorcise the baby and the Emperor s spirit becomes disembodied again They then use the planet sized ship to destroy the planet Byss thereby killing every clone on the planet Everyone goes home to celebrate and Han and Leia adopt the clone baby so now they have four Jedi children The book ends with the Emperor s spirit floating through space until it finds his emergency backup planet where he has stored his other cloning facility and where he has hid his real ultimate weapon a colony of 8000 Darkside Warriors trained from birth to kill Luke Skywalker What will happen next The I wrote this review the I realized it was just as plausible as the story elements in this book Tom Veitch Dark Empire II sucks plain and simple. Book Dark Empire iii This trilogy started out with such promise but I can now safely say that this is one of the DUMBEST things I have ever read in Star Wars Tom Veitch More comic book space opera fun with excellent artwork Tom Veitch As much as I love STAR WARS and even enjoyed Tom Veitch s first Dark Empire this graphic novel was horrible I m not sure if it s canon or not I suspect it is but any STAR WARS fan should skip this one. Book Dark Empire iihf Dark Empire II by Tom Veitch may possibly be the worst STAR WARS comic I have ever read The characters are dull and flat with little development put into any The Emperor s revived clone again is utterly ridiculous Luke is dumb Han and Leia s relationship is as good as Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman s in EP III C 3PO is annoying Han s pals are pointless There wasn t a single character that had any resounding impact on anything. Dark Empire iilm university The plot itself suffers from repetition cf Dark Empire I and a lack of excitement My major issue here was that Veitch uses text boxes and practically guides the reader along matter of factly This negates any sort of impact the dialogue would have and it makes the reader feel like a 4 year old Plus it s just poorly written The dialogue itself is ridiculous especially when it comes to the Empire I cannot imagine Palpatine saying anything like he would as he s portrayed in this book. Book Dark Empire iid Another disappointing thing was how silly the conflicts were It seems as if every Imperial product was magically enhanced and powered by the Dark Side all done through the Emperor and his mastery of the Force Pssh And Luke falling in love with that one lady over the course of three panels What Since I m on a roll here the artwork was mostly horrid too Not to say that it wasn t good cause it was but perspective seemed way off and colors were weak and awkward Sure this is a 15 year old comic so part of that s understandable but still much was lacking in the art department. EPub Dark Empire iihf My copy of Dark Empire II also includes the final volume of the series the short run called Empire s End Since there really was no conclusion whatsoever for Dark Empire II and since I was highly disappointed in the read I decided to skip reading Empire s End and instead look at only the pictures This was a pleasant experience to say the least. Book Dark Empire iit Was there any saving grace to Dark Empire II I d like to say yes but I d be lying It felt like sitting through a repeat viewing of EP I but only the poor parts I cannot recommend this book to anyone not even absolute die hard STAR WARS fans nor do I ever see myself reading it again Just a waste of time as far as I m concerned. Dark Empire II book 3 NOTE I don t like writing negative reviews They make me feel like a sleemo Sorry I did enjoy Dark Empire I for what it s worth I just don t see the point of the sequel Tom Veitch In Star Wars Dark Empire the Rebel Alliance once again fought and defeated the forces of the Empire Or did they Now as Luke Skywalker searches the galaxy for clues to the history of the Jedi Han and Leia lead the Rebel Alliance against a terrible new threat as a group of Dark Jedi fulfill the Emperor s final mission Operation Shadow Hand a devastating plan carried out by the deadliest dark side mind of all Dramatized 2 hours on 2 cassettes or 2 CDs Dark Empire III can understand why some people don t like the Dark Empire stories and while they weren t my favorites it is fine Admittedly Veitch s writing borders on narrator summary as if it is one long flashback or previously on Star Wars and that got annoying by the end but the story itself is all right Just because it contradicts things that came later shouldn t mean much if anything It has a fast pace leaves gaps without spoon feeding us mounds of details and does some fairly bold things Veitch creates almost a whole new universe here giving a great deal of background to the Empire the Emperor and the Jedi Very little of the Expanded Universe was in existence here with only a few of the trilogies around and no one knew what George Lucas had in mind for episodes 1 3 or the years before the Skywalker family became the saviors of the Jedi so Veitch did a fairly decent job of doing some creative things Luke goes through some tough times the Jedi start to regather their strength the Alliance experiences some devastating losses and life and hope go on Not too shabby Tom Veitch It has all my least favourite things about the the EU from the 90 s Weird attempts to make Luke FallStrange one off romances with Luke that will clearly dieCrazy super weaponsEmperors refusal to die despite being dead several times Zany one liners Tom Veitch Not a bad little Star Wars story but I feel like it left me hanging a little too much I m going to have to find out where this story continues Tom Veitch Yikes I could give the original dark empire a smidge of credit for being a dream like what if scenario but this takes things to a whole new low DE2 Empire s End go well past the point of parody and make it easy for any fan to toss out of their head canon The recent movie adaptation was already too fresh on my mind glad I m done with this ridiculous side trip Moving on to I Jedi Tom Veitch I really wanted to like this because I actually loved Dark Empire But this thing is atrocious I had to force myself to finish it The storyline is horrendous and the art is abysmal I don t even want to read the next installment but i have to finish the storyline Tom Veitch Tom Veitch passed away on February 14 2022
