Star Wars: Dark Empire II - Definitive Edition
Рет қаралды 74,306
Күн бұрынIn 1994 - 1995, Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy continued the Dark Empire comic series with 6 comic book issues. An Audiodrama was also released by Time Warner and Highbridge Audio. This definitive edition combines the two, along with adding John William's score among others, since the original audiodrama did not contain overlaying music. Enjoy!

"Anakin Solo! He will be a great Jedi Knight one day!" And by that we mean he'll be killed off pointlessly for character development.

Ikr. It's the only voice out of the whole cast I don't like. Everyone else is spot on, but the New Zealand accent just sounds so perfect compared to what I can only describe as a dying computer.

As a fan from the early 80's, hearing his voice for Fett is weird for me, too 😆 The main thing I don't like about it here is the overdone modulation.

I just read the short story Lightsider and despite it’s status as non-canon, it really fleshes out Kam’s character and makes his redemption feel more poignant. Please give it a read as it helps to iron the details left out of Dark Empire ll.

Thank you so much for uploading these! I remember back in 1992 when Dark Empire came out, it was a 6-issue bi-monthly series. reading these comics in my room, waking up early before school and reading Dark Empire are some fond memories in my life. Such great stories. I always had high hopes that we would get to see these stories in movie format. I honestly thought Disney was going to fulfill this destiny, but alas we got The Last Jedi 🤢🤢🤮 and what ever garbage Disney released. They had all these great stories and characters at their fingertips. Instead we get Rey......... 😐😑 ROSW was the first Star Wars movie I never saw, still haven't seen it. Never plan on it.

Someone's actually using the audio and making an animated series of this storyline. He's only got two parts (well technically three but the third one will be broken into parts) I really hope that he finishes it, because this story is really good. I read it myself and I really don't understand the hate.

Why would he get screen time in this story? He's dead now. Like, I could see him getting one or two scenes as a Force Ghost within the EU, but you can't overuse that. There's good reason the last time Obiwan could Force Ghost Commune with Luke was at the beginning of Heir to the Empire. The current generation has to stand on their own feet.
