Along with Lando, Chewbacca, Artoo, Threepio, and other old allies, Han and Leia struggle to protect the future for their unborn child. Massive World Devastators, more powerful and unstoppable than the Death Star, ravage entire planets, while the ruthless heirs of Jabba the Hutt place a monumental price on the heads of Princess Leia and her husband, Han Solo. Darth Vader is dead, but a reborn Empire-under a mysterious new leader-strikes back at the struggling Rebel Alliance. Six years after the Battle of Endor, the fight for freedom rages on. " Umm, I'm not going to lie, it was just really fun.Luke Skywalker in his father's armor with World Devastators and Star Destroyers in the background Now, after having finished I and II, I'm just counting them as another nail in the coffin on non-Timothy Zahn Star Wars literature. " I only picked up Dark Empire because several sources seemed to concur that its plot was a major part of the Expanded Universe. Didn't they learn anything from watching "Alien 3?" Sheesh. My biggest complaint here was that the authors kept adding new characters and then promptly killing them off. " This graphic novel started out stronger than Dark Empire I, but slowly devolved into more of the same. Would have liked to see more of a relationship develop between that character and Luke, but oh well. I was a little disappointed in one of the Jedi that was killed off very quickly. Didn't really care for the artwork, but that's just a personal opinion. " I definitely just flipped through the pictures. My 9 year old draws better than these artists. " The art was even worse than the 1st one. Decent, not great, but worth a look by SW fans reading the complete SW timeline.

This story and its predecessor fill the gap in the SW EU between the birth of the Solo twins and the birth of Anakin Solo. " A good supplement to the story of Luke & his fall to the dark side. " Better to listen to then to try and make it through this abortion of a star wars story. " The art work is fun, especially since I like the whole spectrum of shades between green and purple, but the story is pretty stupid. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.
