Everything I've said in the Dark Empire video applies here as well. While the art direction isn't on par with the other two volumes, I still like how this ended. Palpatine was just so desperate in living on, but all of that amounted to nothing and he implodes and lost all connection to the Force. That's the one thing I like about this arc, he may have returned, but he slowly lost all of that power and the others saw him as just a Sad soul who failed to learn his way and accept his end. It shows a natural progression that the monster that has reined for so long has lost everything, his control, his throne, his power and all of his connection to the Force.
We really did. Thrawn was a perfect pre-packaged Trilogy and Dark Empire would have made a perfect Duology followup (DE1 then DE 2+3) And then Jedi Academy and so on, all the way through the Saga of Darth Caedus
I wish they had been able to flesh this ending more. it was cut shrt due to funding issues if i remember right. It was supposed to b e about five parts instead it got cut to two. Still its not a terrible ending and still better than what we got in the movies.
Yeah, it lifted frames and left behind the heart. Is there anyone out there who cried for any of the deaths in 7, 8 and 9 like we cried for Brand's heroic sacrifice? Han got jobbed out of nowhere, Luke's was a poorly written atonement for sins he never would have committed in the first place with competent writers, nobody gives a fuck about ripoff halfass offbrand Caedus. The Force Awakens is subpar and the rest of the trilogy is absolute fecal matter.
I hated the idea of Palpatine coming back, even before disney did it so badly, but having now watched all 3 of these stories, I was wrong. This was really well done.
I've noticed in this trilogy the Jedi are treated a little more like a race of people rather than a political/reglious order, which is interesting and I guess makes sense for expanded universe material made before the prequels
@@WestIndianAK nah I mean that’s what the modern understanding becomes but in the 90s the expanded universe definitely treats it as a hereditary thing!
@@Acesstricker the prequels explain the hereditary element. Part of the reason Old Order Jedi were mostly forbidden to marry is _because_ of the hereditary nature of the force. They didn't want to wind up with lineages of Jedi that results in clans forming within the Jedi Order. Lucas planned from the very beginning that force potential would be a hereditary thing.
38:27 this score should've been used as a lament that the clone wars is truly over, the traitor Palpatine is dead, justice has been restored to the fallen clone troopers and fallen jedi whom lost their lives because of Sidious's actions and a loving father became subhuman because of the Sith ideology's lies, now they are free, thanks to not only Anakin's actions, but to a kings final act of heroism ruclips.net/video/Qu-TXqSoJLQ/видео.html
Fool. You do realise that this comic was made before the prequels were made and had to go on a lot of assumptions of what was the clone wars and the role of the clones. In this and the Thrawn Trilogy it was assumed that the clones were the agressors and that the republic fought against them. Even anakin's fall was not known how it happened or why.
@@jongsungchoi9993 I feel like a better ending would be Brand making peace with Anakin's gjost and the two of them working together to trag Palpatine to hell.
Allways loved this series' artwork but the writing is just ridiculous at times. Not quite as bad as crimson tho'. It's just very appearant how early on all this stuff was.
In the comics, there was a ysanna, Jem's brother, called Rayf. He briefly appeared in DE2 audiodrama but was basically removed from the audiodramas. He died in this comic for some reason; i wish he lived. At least Kam Solusar survived and lived till the end of the EU
@@Ale-dd3ek I seriously got the impression that they did more than kiss 🤭 But, Jem's sudden death here makes it make a little more sense why Luke falls in love with a Force Ghost in the near future. At least the dead can't die 🤣
The Throne Room and End Title ruclips.net/video/trYeKG17hYc/видео.html If you mean the force theme I put at the end, it's called Fight to the End from the Clone Wars movie: ruclips.net/video/XMnHZJ5lmCQ/видео.html
It's possible the audio dramas were done only with a script, and since the voices are only different on characters who aren't specified as male or female in the text, like the spy, were different because of a laps in cohesion. That's just my speculation though. I have no idea how they went about working on these back in the 90s. It's just one of those things.

Brand’s sacrifice really got me! 😢 😭
Still ten times better than the Disney Palpatine return.
@@raysullya.k.amassholehead817
That sequels ?
@@Unit-3475 movies 7. 8 .9.
The Force Awakens
The Last Jedi
Rise of the Skywalker
I agree 100 percent.
Same. Also like how music was added, as, when I first heard versions of this, I heard no score.
3:07. Palpatine looks like Bruce Wayne from Batman Beyond.
Seeing this after the Disney BS and one can't help but feel like we missed out
We really did. Thrawn was a perfect pre-packaged Trilogy and Dark Empire would have made a perfect Duology followup (DE1 then DE 2+3)

@@priestesslucy3299 facts 🍻
Way better than what Disney limps out of the barn with these days.
Star Wars Expanded Universe forever!
The music choice is GREAT
Finally got to the last book! Can’t wait to see how this ends
Excellent series so far. Thanks Poke.

Just funny how the sequel trilogy adapted NONE of the story but managed to lift several frames from the comics like ready made storyboarding.
Yeah, it lifted frames and left behind the heart.

A race of people? Uh-uh-they're just a brotherhood that's connected through the Force.

So what you're saying is *gulp* somehow, Palpatine returned 🤔
Thanks for the entertainment on my weekend. Sydney Aus out.
Great video!
Awesome videos.
“The Emperor’s gone forever along with his Dark Empire”…..Ummm…..lol
BRAVO!
so isn't this basically the same plot as Ghostbusters 2?
VIGGO!!!😂
So I've got another version of the Empire's End audio drama downloaded on my phone and it's about an hour long. Did you cut some segments?
no, if it's the other audio comic from youtube, that guy put like a 15 minute segment of the earth blowing up lol
@@MrPoke oh that explains it lol. Btw it's great to finally see one that actually covers the galaxy gun being destroyed without the jank.
Brand was previously the king of the Ganathans. Would that make him King Brand the Broken?

I hate how all of Luke’s Jedi pupils die. Like come on.

@@MrPoke they introduced a new Jedi order and they kill 99% of them😂
The girl Who Luke kissed was probably killed by Mara Jade agents

Shows you how sucky Disney is.
This is kind of weird seeing male characters with female voices, whats up with that?
I have no idea why they switched those character's genders

Oh please, They managed to breach the hull of a SSD and nobody notice? Unlike others, I found Bran annoying.v
This was worse than the Disney stuff. How many times will ha come back? This is like the third time
