4.0 out of 5 stars MY MUM THINKS STAR WARS IS SILLY., 15 Jun 2003
This review is from: Star Wars: Dark Empire (Paperback)
But I don't.
This is one of the best Star Wars books I have ever read. The plot leaves a tiny bit to be desired, but the drawing is inspired; sometimes taking your breath away.

New Things In This Book

The Emperor Reborn - does exactly what it says on the tin.

E-Wing - Likewise.

Nar Shadda - The moon of the Hutt (i.e Jabba) homeworld.

Eclipse Star Destroyer - Big. Black. And out for revenge.

The Plot

The Emperor lives, somehow, and has turned Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side (!) The Rebel Alliance struggles to rescue Mon Calamari from the Empire's world Devestators, and everone's pretty gloomy.

(Mon Calamari means Mon (My) Calamari (Fried Squid rings)
So there you are.

Rating

5.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first one, but I still liked it., 6 Nov 2004
By Ian Tapley "thefragrantwookiee" - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Star Wars: Dark Empire II (Star Wars (Dark Horse)) (Paperback)
THE STORY:
Six years after 'Return of the Jedi', the Empire's Dark Jedi are continuing the war against the New Republic when Emperor Palpatine is revived in a new clone body, with plans to use a new superweapon, the Galaxy Gun, to win final victory. Meanwhile Lando and Wedge lead a covert mission to Byss and the Skywalker/Solo clan begins the resurrection of the Jedi Order.

WHAT'S GOOD:
I liked the way in which Luke and Leia begin to renew the Jedi, gathering together a motley assortment of Force-users; a Jedi-turned-hobo, a Knight all but destroyed by Darth Vader, a former Dark Jedi and two youths from a primitive culture. I also enjoyed the portrayal of the Imperial Dark Jedi, showing them to be arrogant and power-hungry, yet ultimately ineffectual. Cam Kennedy's atmospheric art lives up to the 'Dark' of the title too. People who've read the 'Tales of the Jedi' comics might be interested in finding out what happens to Jedi Master Ood Bnar when he finally awakens from his slumber. We also see the return of Boba Fett, once more, but the tragic destruction of Slave I. For fans of the franchise this book is the essential link between 'Dark Empire' and the Jedi Academy trilogy.

WHAT'S BAD:
As a previous reviewer mentioned, they could have gone to a bit of effort over the name of this book/series; I mean, even the cheesiest sequels have a subtitle (often 'The Revenge'). I wasn't struck on the Galaxy Gun either. I mean, first off it's a bit hard to believe that the Empire can keep churning out superweapon after superweapon and still lose the war. Plus, it's not even a good superweapon; give me a Death Star any day of the week. Finally, although I liked the Dark Jedi in general, the fact remains that (apart from Sedriss), they all look, act and speak the same, making them impossible to tell apart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, but the drawings arnt up to much., 9 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Wars: Dark Empire Bk. 2 (Paperback)
This is a nice addition to the Star wars universe, the Emperor, the Eclipse, the Galaxy gun, plus Jedi Knights left right and centre. The only down side, is that the drawings look like they were done by a 5 year old left handed person using their right hand. Dark Horse have done better. But it continues athe story nicely all the same.
