Am I not hallucinating? Am I actually watching a well-voiced, properly themed decent Star Wars comic come to live, and with the pro-elite Imperial Red Guards of sorts as main characters for a change that are not blow-out candle sticks but bring honour to the name "Imperial Guard"!? ...I am speechlessly amused!

@@JaymeSplendid you gotta remember how young the VAST majority of star wars fans are. I have no idea what actual numbers are but between star wars being seen as nerd culture for awhile and, "not mainstream" outside of nerd culture Until the middle of the 2000's. And thus us older and/or more knowledgeable fans forget this OG star wars was a 70's thing! And we forget like i said the vast majority of star wars fans weren't even alive when the first 3 movies came out, that created the foundation upon which the superior EU stories were able to be told upon.

Then my mind was *completely* changed. Such a great series. I still wonder to this day how Crimson Empire III would've turned out and if Kir Kanos would've met his end by Luke Skywalker's hand, but CE III never came to be sadly. Also lets be real for a sec: I believe, IIRC, Crimson Empire II was the *FIRST* forshadowing of the Yuuzhan Vong as the one villain of Crimson Empire II, Xandel Carivus was taking advise from flipping Nom Anor *of* the Yuuzhan Vong. Loved Crimson Empire.
