Interview with the writer of Dark Empire.

http://www.starwarsunderworld.com/2016/08/interview-with-dark-empire-writer-tom.html?m=1

>How did you come up with the idea of bringing back the Emperor?

>TOM: Our original proposal was to bring back Darth Vader's costume and mask, with somebody else inside it. We felt the Empire would want to maintain the fearsome image of Vader and wouldn't much care who was wearing the armor and breathing mask. George vetoed that idea (although he did allow us to have Vader appear in dreams and memories). He said, no, you can't bring back the Vader costume…but if you can figure out how to bring back the Emperor, that's o.k.

>The obvious way to bring back the Emperor was with cloning, which George immediately approved.

Neat. DE always got a lot of flak, but it's one of my favorite EU stories. People always bring up Luke falling to the dark side and Palpatine returning but for me it's also the best portrayal of Leia as a Skywalker.

Too bad Veitch never goes into detail about Lightsider and DE III.

>Lightsider

If he actually finished the book then he should just "accidentally" leak it.


 No.36>>37

The problem isn't "bring back the Emperor as a clone/cloned bodies" but the Wankatine fest, the fast pace of a comic book, which reduces the dialogue and narrative to childish level plus everything is rushed.

Also World Devastators and gas keg/cylinder jedi taking Palpatine to hell is just too stupid.

I always thought it was the absurd amounts of Super weapons they had. What was it, the Eclipse, the Sovereign, the Galaxy Gun, the World Devastators, what else?

Honestly it would have been better if they had it that the Empire had regrouped and consolidated it's forces and just BTFO Republic with superior firepower.

The Eclipse and the World Devastators in DE. The Eclipse II and the Galaxy Gun in DE II and EE.

The Eclipse ships didn't do anything in story though. Iirc, it wasn't even acknowledged in the comic that they had inbuilt Deathstar super lasers. They should've left that detail out.

The World Devastators at least weren't planet busters like the rest of the EU's super weapons. They were surprisingly slow at devastating worlds too. Maybe they should have been introduced as some kind of next gen warship instead.

The Galaxy Gun was inexcusable fucking bullshit though. The worst moment in the Dark Empire trilogy was when the good guys survive it because it fires a fucking dud at them.

Dark Empire is also one of my favorite EU stories as well.

Kam Solusar is probably one of my favorite NJO masters. Kyle was cool but he had to go through like five different character arcs before he actually nutted up and became a jedi proper. Corran Horn was also cool, but basically a gimmick character who was only good at like two things, and the same could be said for Cighal and others like Tionne.

Kam Solusar though is the fucking man. He doesn't need any of that shit, he just shows up, does his job, and doesn't bullshit. He's the guy that's dependable enough to basically be Luke's second in command in most of his appearances even post DI and was competent enough to actually be consistently good.

…There was going to be a DE III? Any links?

DE, must've been a typo on my part.

Dark Empire gets a lot of shit but it had rock solid designs like the I-7 howlrunner and the E-Wing and it had a lot of cool concepts.

I think it speaks volumes there was never any legends DLC for EAfront. It was a game starved for content with sparse as fuck DLC that badly needed a couple of extra maps, a few weapons, and especially extra fighters.

Same for Fantasy Flight X-Wings. They're stuck doing Rebels shit nobody cares about and synching with new films for *brand synergy* when most fa/tg/uys would vastly prefer more flight sim and comic stuff and don't give a flying fuck about buying some ship that only appeared in rebels in one episode two years ago.
