Massively enjoyed the artstyle ofc, and the character designs, I think it fits Star Wars fine and is very unique. Feels like space fantasy for sure. The audio drama also was quite nice and added some cool sound effects and okay dialogue

Can’t blame them on Palps coming back too much as this was before the prophecy was created and Palps at least still had a personality. I enjoyed Luke and Leias dynamic throughout the comic

Luke turning to the dark side is the biggest part I can talk about. I actually don’t mind it, Luke didn’t turn cause of aggressive emotions, he turned out of (at least in my opinion) pride in his ability and underestimation of the dark sides pull (alludes to Vader in ROTJ “don’t underestimate the power of the dark side”). Luke’s reasoning adds some layers to his character too imo, with another reason being his curiosity of why his father turned. I liked the lesson at the end of the comic, of him realizing the path of the Jedi is not an isolated path. Many of his reasonings and things Luke learned on this arc I can relate to

My biggest criticism is we didn’t see him do… much during his side on the imperials. I thought he would’ve been with Palpatine till at least dark empire 2. We could’ve seen them training, or Luke being mentally crumpled by Palpatine after Luke’s defeat on Byss, believing he was the only hope for the Jedi and he had failed. The biggest miss is that we don’t see Luke with stormtroopers taking over a planet or moon, Luke’s reluctance in an invasion. Another cool thing I imagined was Luke turning a small group of soldiers to the rebel cause, or at least neutrality, like he did in battlefront 2 with that one guy. That’s where a love interest came in, an imperials officer reluctance to fight against the empire mirroring Luke’s own hopelessness after his defeat to Palpatine. The actual love interest was poor. Bottom line, there just could’ve been more for dark side Luke, another comic issue maybe

Stupid shit: everything that went down on that bounty hunter planet, side characters, Boba Fett losing all his aura in DE 2, Dark empire 2 in general being borderline unreadable in quality.

Anyways Dark empire 1 was decent but I haven’t read many comics lol, Dark empire 2 was rlly bad tho. Also I feel Luke should’ve become Jedi master AFTER all this as a sign that he has understood the dark sides temptation and understands the external and internal fight of a Jedi is not a lonely one. But I didn’t rlly read when or why he became a master in the EU, was it the x wing books? If anyone could let me know

Was thinking back to all the memes I've made about Dark Horse and their constant delays and figured it's only fair to make one now that Marvel's joined in, lol.

It had been solicited for release on Sept. 2.

New date is based on release information from PRH and Marvel's publishing schedule.

I bought it on the artist website years ago just because I liked the way it looked. “STAR WARS #25 MIKE MAYHEW DARTH VADER”

This is an awesome book. Love all of Dark Horse’s SW art books.

Is this a good place to start? Did I do good?

Did you like their overall inclusion into the Legends lore as a whole? What were some of your most and least favorite aspects of the Imperial Knights when they were first introduced in Legacy? If not, why?

Personally, these are some of my favourite esoteric Force-users in the entire franchise - I love the idea of an order that combines the Jedi with the Praetorian Guard.

For context, when Luke decides to become the resurrected Darth Sidious’ apprentice in order to protect his loved ones and destroy the dark side from within, it’s noted within the comic how he’s following closely to Anakin’s motivations for becoming a Sith apprentice himself, which led to him becoming Darth Vader. Anakin may not have been planning on destroying Sidious by faking allegiance to the dark side - that was more Quinlan Vos’ strategy - but he did become a Sith in an attempt to protect those he cared about, namely Padmé, similar to how Luke was trying to protect the other Heroes of Yavin from Sidious by finding a way to destroy him from within. Given how Dark Empire preceded Revenge of the Sith by over a decade, this guess is pretty impressive on Tom Veitch’s part, because Lucas was being very tight-lipped about the prequel era at the time Dark Empire released and likely didn’t reveal this to Veitch during the comic’s production.

Was able to find this on AbeBooks for $15 which seem like a pretty sweet deal. I've always loved "what ifs" so can't wait to dig in.
