    Wow, this made my day. Love how the scenes are taken right from the pages of the comic. Especially when we get that first close up of Luke's face. I remember reading this as a youth and thinking "Wow, he's so much more than the farm boy he used to be." Funny enough, this was actually my introduction into the Expanded Universe. I admit to having watched an older sibling play Dark Forces on his PC just long enough to realize I wasn't getting a turn, but in terms of my own personal active exploration, this is where I became an EU diehard fan. Thanks for bringing that experience to life with this animation, I hope you keep up the work!

One thing I'm always hoping for is a show about Luke, Leia and Han like we got with Anakin and Obi-Wan in The Clone Wars and I really feel like I'm getting that with this wonderful video.

    When Luke shows up and the Dark Side theme played it sent a chill down my spine. Dark Empire was my first Dark Horse Star Wars graphic novel I got as a kid. I read that thing over and over until the binding fell apart. This is beautiful work brought a tear to my eye with nostalgic joy. So well done thank you MTFBWY

    I still don't know what to think of the fact of using the emperors design resembling that awful movie, but I can safely say this at least brings a smile to my fan loving heart... I hope you can make the other parts one day...

    There's a deep lore reason as to why the World Devastators work as they do. Palpatine learned from the Chiss about creatures that lived in the unknown regions of the galaxy that would inhale and their enemies and take on their best attributes to destroy even more people. They were called Star Riders, a reference to the appearance of the creature's very strange form of starship. Only one of these creatures was ever recorded to exist, but it's possible that others exist on their very strangely shaped planet.
