In my head, all the Disney stuff is luke's dream while unconscious on hoth in the snow, or later recovering in the baca tank, take you pick but i say its all a very very bad nightmare
At first I thought this was going to be a ... "fan made"... thing. With poor to middling writing... This is SOO much better! I'd forgotten these comics. I think I have this series tucked away somewhere. Back in the mid 90s when the expanded universe was doing well, there were alot of folk that thought these comics would be gold in the future. After all, who could EVER screw up Star Wars?
"Not the last of the old Jedi Luke, the first of the new." Who knew one sentence could give infinitely more hope than every supposed sequel I've seen thus far.
It was a serious mistake for Disney to just throw out the entire canon. Decades of dedicated writing by talented authors building on the original film storyline and character development history, just tossed aside so Disney could produce its own swill.
None of it was ever Canon bro never approved by George ...George Lucas did not consider the Star Wars Expanded Universe canon: "I haven't read any of the novels. I don't know anything about that world" why not just consider disney as the same 😂 why hate star wars at all? You still watch the shows n shit right ? I just don't care as long as there is just Star Wars to watch and absorb and think about im good❤
@@starkillerbeats420bruh nobody is agreeing with the part u insert ur opinion...still better than Disney regardless of what Lucas considered...bet u have the first rainbow colored lightsaber huh
@@DanSlotea Lucas threw them out too, not sure why you all act like the prequels weren't garbage as well. The Thrawn trilogy should've been made in '99 instead of the prequel crap.
AWESOME!! Was hoping for a full version for a long time - I also use your motion comic playlists to help me fall asleep because I find them relaxing. Thanks for this!
Amazing. It just makes me sad for what we've lost to disney and what we could have had. There' s a whole political story arc with Leia that rhymes perfectly with the clone wars... Written by different people in different eras with no requirement to maintain a cannon but all such fans of star wars that they maintained it's story - made for fans by fans. And disney wrecked it😢
After Return of the Jedi I thought Star Wars was done. I was crushed. But when the Prequels were announced I was going nuts! I was 9 when the first Star Wars came out. Since then I've bought every 📼📼VHS📼Tape📼📼, 💿💿Music💿CD's💿💿, 📀📀DVD's📀📀, hundreds of action figures, and well over 250 📚books📚! But according to Kathleen Kennedy, my opinion is worthless. Our opinions are worthless? Which is why I now refuse to spend ONE CENT on any Disney Items for Star Wars or Marvel. I'll give creator's like you my time and backing. Disney has destroyed what was a great story. Fans, like you who KNOW what Star Wars was, is, and should be, get my support! Thank you!
It never ceases to amaze me how movie studios have great stories at the ready to adapt, yet they ignore them and replace them with absolute garbage. It would of saved them tons of money too. It's almost like they want to lose money for tax purposes or something. GI Joe, Hitman, Max Payne, Lord of the Rings... the list is a long one.
If only Disney had made the thrawn series with the original characters. They could be sitting pretty right now, but instead they sacked all that in name of the message
A great palate cleanser after what they did to Thrawn and his storyline in Ahsoka, good god. The only thing Disney got right so far regarding these books was Pellaeon imo.
i think the story of star wars in canon and real life plays out similarly. at first the republic or georgelucas films had a peaceful but rough era in the beginning. then the sith turn it into the empire, aka disney buys star wars then the republic returns or george lucas comes back to sw but not in the former capacity
This trilogy should have been the first films Disney Made after buying the rights. Ok Rogue One was good. But Disney had to kill off all the new characters, their first mistake. They also disassociated Disney from Timothy Zahn. Fire KK!
starts video with scout tie fighter, that doesnt have a drive to go in hyperspace, go into hyperspace bar is set incredibly low from the start - and if anyone wants to complain about that bit of trivia - its in A New Hope, so its been canon since 1977 if you didnt catch it, thats your ineptitude
@@nathans6486 ah yeah that's not the same :D i think the german one sounds way better (voice actors) ah i just saw that the english ones use the original german scripts
Can you believe that Disney nuked EVERYTHING out of the Star Wars universe from canon? They are the Sith. Or the old republic haven been taken over by the Sith.

Thrawn takes controll of the shattered Imperial Fleet? I though he had his own hidden fleet. Why am I confused here? Not to mention that I thought Thrawn was discovered as a hidden threat... unknown at the beginning of the story.
Ah... before the dark times... before the Disney.
My friend... this is...so artfully done.
Before the Disney 🤣🤣🤣
Its like Star Wars is in Exile...if only there was something we could do to pull it back.
yet George only considred certain material canon lmao
In my head, all the Disney stuff is luke's dream while unconscious on hoth in the snow, or later recovering in the baca tank, take you pick but i say its all a very very bad nightmare
Funny to see Leia actually struggling during training. If Disney told this story, they’d have her humble Luke on the first lesson.
Leia: u, me n Luke just like old times/ Han: yeah, just like old times
Boy I wish we got that from the sequel trilogy god what a waste
Just started watching, and I've seen more respect in those few seconds than in all the so called sequels
Star Wars will never die. The fans keep making the superior movies we need!!!!
Thank you for this!!!! ❤
star wars died with Disney
Real Star Wars, finally. Thank the maker.
@@elis7283 Indeed. Thank the maker.

Some of us still prefer to call it Expanded Universe, my friend.
E U sister
Only disney calls the EU "legends".

This recording has many problems but it is so good to hear some real Star Wars for change.
You gotta give Marc Thompson some credit for his audio work, thought I recognized it.
The real episode 7
it's *always* good to see TRUE Star Wars stories!! don't stop!
This reminds me a lot of those old comic book cartoons of the 60s and 70s. Blast from the past.
The real sequel trilogy
Yes
Indeed
Before the prequels, before disney, good Star Wars.
This IS Star Wars!
Thank you brother for this keep up the gd work...may the force be with you
Ah yea REAL STARWARS.GODS WORK
wow what a labor of love. much better than the actual stuff they market. lots of love & heart in this
I wish that RUclips had the function to do multiple likes from one user. This was brilliant! Good work.
I like that you incorporated the audio book with animation!
Thank you for this Nathan S!
Nathan Strikes Back!!!!!
my boy back hell yeah
for now
@@nathans6486I've got a bad feeling about this.
what a legend
I didn't think you were going to make another video ... thanks man! 👍
I'd heard of this trilogy from my mother. I'm glad to know I can watch it now.
Well done, I miss this Star Wars.....
Bless you for taking this on
This is amazing content thank you!!❤
If only Disney had as big a budget as this. Then maybe they could have made some good films.
WELCOME BACK DUDE IT WAS YOUR CHANNEL THAT GOT ME THROUGH THE FIRST LOCKDOWN
AWESOME!! Was hoping for a full version for a long time - I also use your motion comic playlists to help me fall asleep because I find them relaxing. Thanks for this!
What a joy it is to watch some old Star Wars again. Excellent video 👍

Thank you so much for this! It was so…artistically done
One of my favorite stories. I have the audio books. I recognize Mark Thompson here. This is well done.
Thanks
Babe wake up it’s time to watch the Heir to the Empire motion comic by Nathan S for the 347th time
My favorite Star Wars anything
Oh look. Real Star Wars.
I'm not gonna dump on the sequel trilogy, I loved it, but damn this trilogy of books was EPIC, so well written

Thank you for sharing this. I love it! They should have made this instead of Acolyte.
You did a great job with this sorry it took so long to find

Probably a mercy they didn't try. Disney would have mangled it beyond recognition and it would be heartbreaking to have to see that.
The path of the Darkside leads to corruption
Not just the message, they have to change Thrawn entirely into something unrecognizable. He’s basically a Saturday cartoon villain now.
Hey man, SIB says hi. Great to see you still working on this great series
Great job! I love this!
The true Star Wars story before Sith Lord KK
The toy ad threw me off so hard lmao
Would you do the darth bane comic, I know it’s not complete as the novels but would still be amazing
The true episodes 7-9. Before the dark times. Before Disney destroyed all that good and decent in the galaxy...
Let’s go !
This is AMAZING, thank you!
They need to make a animation series of this......
A great palate cleanser after what they did to Thrawn and his storyline in Ahsoka, good god. The only thing Disney got right so far regarding these books was Pellaeon imo.
Maybe Disney can hire this guy to write for them. Or better yet hand over the rights...
He is just showing off the comic, he isn't the writer
i think the story of star wars in canon and real life plays out similarly.
at first the republic or georgelucas films had a peaceful but rough era in the beginning.
then the sith turn it into the empire, aka disney buys star wars
then the republic returns or george lucas comes back to sw but not in the former capacity
It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
So much better than Disney Star wars
The Force is strong with this one
1:01:35 My most vivid memory from all these books.
This trilogy should have been the first films Disney Made after buying the rights. Ok Rogue One was good. But Disney had to kill off all the new characters, their first mistake. They also disassociated Disney from Timothy Zahn. Fire KK!
The cantina music in chapter 3 🤌🤌🤌
*I've been looking forward to this*
So nicely done! If you squint your ears Palleon sounds a bit like megatron! :D
what an excellent combination of novel and graphic novel adaptation! thank you! 🤓🤓🤓
Let's go!!🎉🎉
This is the Star Wars
So far loving this.
Great vid
Nice
Someone needs to do this with Doctor Who audio dramas.
Awesome revision! The musical score is great. Are you also revising Shadows of The Empire?
Nice work.
starts video with scout tie fighter, that doesnt have a drive to go in hyperspace, go into hyperspace
bar is set incredibly low from the start - and if anyone wants to complain about that bit of trivia - its in A New Hope, so its been canon since 1977

where is the audio from, i just know in germany there is an audiobook with the original voice actors, in english too?

What a breath of fresh air after that mess of a finale for the acolyte. That show is an absolute disaster. Modern SW is in a death spiral.
I heard Acolyte is done with, and, yeah, started off strong but quickly became a dumpster fire
THRAWN!
This is my canon
16:55
And there it is everybody
Old Larry Ben Steve kenobi finally admitted to Dirk he was his father.
Well kinda...
Love it!
Awesome ! and Thank you
thanks
Until I found this, there were only 3.5 Star Wars films - ANH, ESB, parts of RToJ, and most of Rogue One. Thank you.
Incredible

These comments are pretty off-topic now, but just wait until the actual Heir to the Empire movie (more likely Ahsoka season 2) comes out
Hope this is not the last of this series the jedi Council is watching
The two SW toy commercials shortly before the end were wtf.
Why are patreon artists better than the artists and studios in Hollywood?
Because they create from passion, not greed. *cough* disney
Fire KK NOW!
Disney had the golden goose in this book series but they tossed it aside for woke mary sue Rey instead.
