Star Wars: Crimson Empire - Definitive Edition

[@Korgano]

It does my heart good to see so many cool EU projects on KZbin. This is the Star Wars I grew up with.

[@brianrunyon266]

Same. Besides the audio drama's, am also a fan of unabridged versions of the novels.

[@Yojack872]

Holy shit - No Jedi in this and STILL AMAZING.

[@brianrunyon266]

Agreed. Interesting choice for sound design to use Lightsaber sounds for when he uses a vibroweapon.

[@davishueter]

@@brianrunyon266 That I did have an issue with, but it didn't ruin the moment thankfully.

[@TerminatorGundam300]

It like Mandalorian seasons 1 - 2, except of course the final and the one episode with Ashoka

[@thelegate8636]

Force Unleashed music works really well for the fight between Jax and Kanos

[@MercilessBug]

Man, Kir Kanos is certainly one of my favorites from Legends continuity, I was always intrigued by Palpatine's guard.

[@basslvck]

Not Legends ... E U which is WAY better

[@sovereignprotector60]

agreed

[@shadekerensky3691]

It's not Legends, it's the Expanded Universe

[@TheDiceMan360]

This is legends

[@JackYOgurl606]

The voice acting and story of this is absolutely amazing....even though I've watched this like 5-6 times....I love the Empire End saga.

[@slyaspie4934]

These motion comics are really good quality hopefully Disney don't decide to be dicks and make you take them down, thanks for all the uploads brilliant work, not seen some of them since reading them years ago lol I knew some were on here but the sound and resolution left a bit to be desired, but yours are top quality so thanks again

[@MrPoke]

Disney won't take these down unless they renew their contracts with Time Warner/Highbridge and NPR, which they haven't since 2017 I believe. They did renew their contract with Bantham audio so I just think they don't care about these audiodramas. Thanks for noticing the high audio quality! That's the reason I decided to make these, to give justice to these stories in the highest quality possible.

[@slyaspie4934]

@@MrPoke I see fingers crossed these get lost in contractual paperwork. I'm guessing there's no way to get Heir to the empire up as I'd assume that you'd have to edit parts of the audio book and the graphic novel together, or has that trilogy been given the motion comic treatment like these

[@MrPoke]

@@slyaspie4934 The Thrawn Trilogy has been given a motion comic treatment by another channel. I don't plan on covering them since uploading audiobooks can get my channel in trouble with the mouse.

[@slyaspie4934]

@@MrPoke that's fair enough also the "canon" Thrawn motion comic based off the newer books is on here as well. But I'll be watching your uploads for next few nights

[@spencersholden]

I was so happy when the Lusankya arrived. I have never seen this before.

[@Gundam04]

Now this deserves some serious or movie.... But.... neither Disney or lucasfilm will be able to do Crimson Empire Justice this just shows their miles ahead of the inquisitors

[@voiceinyourhead8284]

Oh yeah no lol. The inquisitors could fuck them up. The royal guard are great…for non-force sensitives. They may be able to stand their ground, but they couldn’t beat them.

Please do Crimson Empire II.

[@davishueter]

Yes

[@M7JLawless]

Thank you, been looking to listen to this for years! I will name my firstborn after you!

[@MrSleepyweezul]

7:15 pretty much sums up Kir Kanos, and cements him in my mind as one of the biggest badasses in all of the EU

[@mikehyatt2959]

Great work, I enjoyed the hell out of this. Jax sounded kinda of like and evil James T Kirk (Just Teasing ). I'll be looking forward to more from this channel.

[@James-th4rn]

Got my reminder set,see you in a few👍

[@herooflight7931]

This right here is movie material. I'm almost glad Disney Disregard the expanded universe They would mess this up in less than a second

[@SethAurelius94]

This version is so much better than the motion comic that spliced in bits of video games and that one xwing animation.

[@lisawoods3352]

I love this version. I also love the other versions. Each person is using their time the give us great entertainment. For me and my imagination this is just like being at the movies. Thanks to everyone involved and know that your passion is being appreciated. 😊

[@DriveLaken]

@@lisawoods3352 agreed, they’re all good in their own way. I don’t understand how motion comics don’t get more views. I think they’re my favorite form of media entertainment, or whatever. Or, a close second to the SW movies and MANDALORIAN, Fett, Ashoka and my most favorite, The Clone Wars series…both of them.

[@Bms010]

Dude I really appreciate this and everything else you posted. Being a huge Star Wars fan though this is the level awesome hope you're doing well bro always.

man, i used to read this comic when i was a lad, this is awesome

Excellent work, MrPoke! Curious, are you planning on giving the Tales of the Jedi audio dramas the Definitive Edition treatment?

[@MrPoke]

Yup! Already started adding music to them.

[@Karlsator]

@@MrPoke this is great 👍 thank you

[@DarthImagnus0790]

That audiobook only lasts until The Dark Lords of the Sith, but not the Sith War. Have you given any thought about maybe doing the voices yourself or with a team? I would do it for free if I could. Anything to give back to the community

[@mr.vister6262]

Great edits and voice acting

[@brainrunnethout]

[@kenguyii9108]

*Kir Kanos: A Star Wars Story!*

[@CobraTheRed0]

To me what makes this one more interesting is that it’s more focused on the empire itself and has no Jedi or sith/dark Jedi. In the begging of this instead of the rebellion like normal it focuses on the storm troopers instead which would have been a very interesting tone shift to see what it’s like to be them

[@BN-uh8cm]

Hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[@darrellhall6622]

As Han told Fin "That's not the way the Force works!!" Unless he is force sensitive, there's no way he could use the dark side of the Force.

[@HK-50]

Carnor Jax is force sensitive. I don't mean to sound rude but I would think anyone that listened to this would know that..

[@guardiansoulblade2673]

It’s the official audiobook.

[@Somereasonstolive]

Great upload! The universe appreciates ur service. Now as for the comic, it's cool n all but i cant look past the plotholes 😂 first of all they didnt rly showed a decent reason as to why/how jax betrayed palapatine & why does kanos hates the council, then in the end it makes no sense that sadeet conveniently dies so that the girl who spent the wholle comic helping kanos suddenly becomes his enemy 😂

[@neofulcrum5013]

If only the EU wrote a few dedicated comics on the rebellion with this type of dedication as they do the villains.

[@ardrian100]

It should make the vibroblades sound like a normal sword it will be a better one.

Is there a part two to this ?

[@michaelclarke6439]

If this radio drama is ever converted into a major motion picture, i think Scott Eastwood would make an excellent " Kir Kanos"...

[@nathanlunn4380]

Number 1

[@Adam-k6r2o]

There needs to be more films. more sith orgins info more unknown jedi info more unkown more more more wake up disney

[@Scottadamsfan3481]

That is an era long gone , not possible in this day and age of dei

[@PsiOmicronNu]

Anyone else think Kir Kanos looks like Clint Eastwood?

[@michaelclarke6439]

I do, indeed. Scott Eastwood has youth on his side to handle the atheletics the role would demand; and bears a very strong facial resemblance to his cinematically famous dad.

[@aidenbrewer3893]

Please do jedi search trilogy!

That would be a cool audio drama to make though I myself would probably rewrite it to remove a lot of filler

I was hoping the audiodrama would make the story feel less, "DM is trying to make a story fit around an uncooperative edgelord player"

[@phorz85]

2 whole isd's and forcepower like a padawan - oha! That's prolly the most pathetic of all imp warlords. Also, rogue squadron flying b n e wings, not even one x and they struggle against 2 to 1 odds? There's so much wrong with that book. I thought dark empire was not liked well but next to this book, even it seems way better.
