Product Description

From Amazon.com

The second chapter in the biggest Star Wars graphic novel of all time! The Empire in retreat, Luke Skywalker is on a quest to rebuild the Jedi. But before he can revive that elite corps of protectors, he must first rebuild himself. Can he pull together the Jedi--and himself--before the New Republic loses the upper hand, or will the Empire take root once more? --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


From AudioFile

Close your eyes, and Mark Hamill is again Luke Skywalker, Carrie Fisher is Princess Leia and Harrison Ford is Han Solo. The highly skilled casting director has chosen audio actors who sound exactly like the original movie personnel. Not only a full cast, but also a broad range of sound effects adds realism to a magnificent portrayal. The story itself is a sequel to the movies, with the evil Emperor returning again and again like a nine-lived cat. D.R.W. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Oh No! The clone had a clone!, Jul 19 2004
By JediMack (VALRICO, FL USA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Star Wars: Dark Empire II (Audio Cassette)
The clone emperor cloned himself and Luke must stop him again. This is the sequel to Dark Empire and is very entertaining. There is a Dark Empire III, but you can skip that one. Dark Empire II is worth a listen.

Dark Empire and Dark Empire II take place Six years after the Battle of Endor, (but after the Zahn trilogy). Luke discovers that the emperor is still alive. Luke researches whether a jedi has ever returned from the dark side. This is cool, because this acknowledged the earlier comics dealing with the jedi and sith 3,000 to 5,000 years ago (learned in the holocron's that Luke has gathered.)

This is the description of the comic which the audio tape is based on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a pair of smugglers...er, comic book artists...., Oct 10 2003

Ce commentaire est de: Star Wars Dark Empire Ii (Paperback)
The struggle for mastery of the galaxy continues in this second installment of Dark Horse's Dark Empire graphic novel series. Although Leia Organa Solo and her twin brother Luke Skywalker defeated the clone of Emperor Palpatine, his minions, led by Warlord Sedriss, continue their campaign to wrest star systems away from the New Republic and back into the Imperial fold.

Even worse, the spirit-force of Palpatine still resonates even though it is disembodied, and although rebellious members of his own court have destroyed more of his clone bodies all the Emperor needs is one in which to take physical form. Knowing that he will really die forever without another body to inhabit, Palpatine sets his sights on Leia's third child, Anakin Solo. If he succeeds, Palpatine will achieve two of his most cherished goals: continued survival and revenge upon the man who betrayed him at Endor, Darth Vader.

Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy return to dazzle Star Wars aficionados with their story and artwork in Dark Empire II. As in the best Expanded Universe novels, this creative team mixes classic Star Wars characters from the movies and meld them with a cast of new friends and foes, while enriching the "galaxy far, far away" with new worlds and exotic aliens. They even follow the trilogy's structure by making Dark Empire II a cliffhanger, making sure we readers looked forward to the concluding installment, Empire's End.

5.0 out of 5 stars Final Fantasy Meets Emperror Palpetine!!!!!, Aug 4 2002
Ce commentaire est de: Star Wars: Dark Empire II (Audio Cassette)
I like this book. I like it because it's cool. I like all the sound effects that this book has such as lazer fire, Light Saber sounds, and finaly the walker sounds. This is the book in which I meet the emperror, and stand with him face to face. I highly recommend this audio book.

Where to begin? Well When the first Dark Empire came out I thought it wasn't bad. The Emperor returning and all that. Lisez davantage

2.0 out of 5 stars Why Did Vietch Have to Push It?
Dark Empire I wasn't too bad, although the continual pushing of doom and gloom, like that in the New Jedi Order novels, gets very tiresome very fast. Lisez davantage

Well, personally, I think this story would have done much better as a novel. When I read it, I felt that the story was missing some important details, descriptions, thoughts,... Lisez davantage

This is just an excuse to make a trilogy. The first chapter in this series was good enough and didn't need to be drawn out into three graphic novels. Lisez davantage

Dark Empire 2 was good book because I like books that don't take a lot of time on making sure the character's nose is just right or the eye's. Lisez davantage

1.0 out of 5 stars Stinks. Really stinks. No, seriously, it really stinks.
