The First Emperor Clone - Caravan Of Garbage

Emperor Palpatine is returning for Star Wars Episode 9 The Rise Of Skywalker. Before we review that let's revisit the 1991 Dark Horse comic, Dark Empire, acting as a sequel to the original trilogy that had The Emperor clone himself to go up against Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo. Before we had dark side Rey we got dark side Luke Skywalker, plus the return of Boba Fett, Jedi Holocrons, force projection and amazing action sequences but in a comic! This is our Caravan Of Garbage review, thanks for watching.

I once was threatened for saying the Last Jedi was “ok” instead of terrible. They told me to read Dark Empire instead, saying that it didn’t make the same mistakes. I find that it did the same things as TLJ but worse; Luke actually turning to the dark side, palpatine in the form of a kid near the end, hell, I think the Emperor even said that Endor wasn’t the first time he died.

I had a similar experience but I read the comic with out anyone recommending it. Yeah as soon as Luke projected himself I came to basically the same conclusion as you. Except I liked TLJ. But this is still kind of bad though.

Andy Howard sometimes inaction could be a viable action.

In the novelization of the first film (which came out before the film itself) it was revealed that his name was Palpatine and that he was a senator who became "President" of the Republic (changed to Chancellor for the PT) before declaring himself Emperor around the time the Jedi were taken out. So the basics of his backstory were there from the beginning. The only real difference is that the prologue to the novel assumes that his cronies likely have the real power and he is basically a puppet who is hidden away from the people, but even that can be seen as a theory by the people since it is an in-universe document from the "Journal of the Whills."

I was starting to think I was one of the very few people who absolutely hated this whole storyline. In fact, I hated at least 80% of the stories set after Return of the Jedi. Maybe even more. I liked Mara Jade and Thrawn, but that’s about it unless I’m forgetting something.

1:50 ... I mean... a Jedi uses the force for knowledge and defense, never for attack. So... I mean you have to admit that Luke facing down a bunch of First Order Walkers and Kylo Ren without taking a single life, saving the remnants of the resistance and only sacrificing himself is a very Jedi thing to do. I’m not arguing the merits of TLJ, just saying Luke did the Jedi thing. Most Jedi thing he did in the original trilogy wasn’t beating Vader, but resisting the Dark Side.

wespozo ... no. No he didn’t say that.

@wespozo The Prequels ruined every idea of what a jedi should be and Yoda getting to fight is the prime example of this. Yoda sucks. The guy who should be the wisest jedi and greatest peacekeeper just blindly accepts and leads the clones to fight in the war, is too dumb to figure out it was all a trap and fights with the intent to kill without a second tought... It's too dumb. The Prequels are a shame. The advice he gave Obiwan when Anakin turned was nothing short of "sorry dude but you gotta kill him, there's no other way." He's not the same character Luke meets in Dagobah. Can't be.

Ezio Auditore I completely disagree. It doesn’t matter if he was physically there or if he wasn’t. What matters is the example he set and the hope he inspired with his actions. Him actually being there physically standing down the First Order woulda been awesome... but it also would’ve somewhat missed the point. The point isn’t that the Jedi are a bunch of Überpowerful baddasses that can face down armies. The point is that the Jedi should be able to inspire hope without ever needing to draw their weapon. He doesn’t need to face down the whole First Order with a laser sword, because the First Order is a problem he can’t solve. Luke’s time is over. He was the hero at the start of the myth, but myths aren’t made to sell toys. Eventually, inevitably, the generations after need to be trusted to handle their own problems. And the generation before’s job is to give them all they need to solve those problems. Luke couldn’t cut down the First Order. That’s just giving Kylo what he wanted. By not even showing up, he denied Kylo the battle he wanted and gave the resistance the hope they needed.

Yes! Make The Emperor Clone Trilogy! Ya all should call the next one: "The Second Return Of The Emperor - Caravan Of Garbage" or "The Emperor Strikes Back - Caravan Of Garbage" xD

In a perfect world, I think Domnhall Gleason would have knocked it out out of the park as a young Palpatine clone.
