The Lost Star Wars Sequel | Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire

[@samoaji9717]

Ben played the game, Ethan red the book, Sal read the comic. The three walks of life

[@hugoalynstephens9166]

If only Tiffany had listened to the soundtrack and then the circle would be complete.

[@canukforce]

" I like this plan, it's very complicated and stupid." That one just knocked me out for just minutes with laughter.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

What is with Tattooine being such a hot spot for intergalactic visitors? I know a lot of people pivotal to the plot go there, but why? There's almost nothing there. Just two suns and sand. And all that sand, man. I don't like it. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

[@lizmtwok5094]

It's a hot spot for criminal activities.

[@vtaycur]

+Just Some Guy with a Mustache it's run by the Hutts dude! galactic gangsters

[@icthulu]

+Just Some Guy with a Mustache They go there for the spice. He who controls the spice controls the universe...

[@karsten128]

Just Some Guy with a Mustache did u make an attack of the clones reference

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Yes I did.

[@andrewlewis2123]

This is my first watch, but it’s probably up there with my favorite episodes of Back Issues already. There’s just a little bit of extra magic to this one, when Ben and Ethan were as invested as Sal was in their own ways, and it’s the quintessential common ground of nerddom that is Star Wars.

[@Marcus-xk9im]

Oh god I lost it during the big gizz bit. Honestly couldn't stop laughing for about 4 minutes.

[@rob2064]

"Oh yeah, Jabba loves Big Gizz" -Ben

[@hectornavarro980]

"Jabba loves Big Gizz" I want that shirt so bad

[@b1merio]

Jizz, strangely enough, is what ol' George decided to name that weird music that plays in the cantina in Episode IV. Anyway, not a fan of the Stellar Battles. So, live long and prosper :P

[@henrywatson7956]

This episode is awesome! More Star Wars episodes would be great :D

[@JoshMunroe]

5:17 Can't seem to find "We'll Start Understanding" by ComicPOP on iTunes

[@MercysLittleShoww]

This actually got me more excited for seeing Star Wars this Sunday.

[@BrightOranje]

This was a great project. Game was awesome and the novel was exactly what a Star Wars story should be - fun.

[@dylanlewis5113]

As a kid, I read the Shadows of the Empire pop up book. It covered the Boba Fett and IG-88 fight. It was cool.

[@theredknite]

Anyone else came back here after hearing Sal on Mr. Sunday Movie’s video on this? Just me?

[@quincycleophasjenkins721]

all of your different insights made this a very unique episode. exceptional.

[@dngn4774]

Finally caught up with all of the Back Issues (just before episode 100 comes out)! To celebrate I revisited the first episode I saw.

[@comicswatching4851]

I had the Shadows of the Empire Micro Machines Action Fleet set when I was little. Was always so interested in this but never read the comic, book, or played the game haha, but boy the memories with those little toys!

[@Doddser]

I really loved this episode, MORE STAR WARS IN THE FUTURE PLEASE!

[@kanegibson5479]

hey, on the topic of john wagner, any chance of judge dredd or some 2000ad stuff? love the show

[@dinosaurusmaximus8506]

Luke lost his hand. ... He lost his paw to his pa.

[@MrCeratix]

On my umpteenth rewatch and have to leave a comment about how much I love Sal's Emperor Palpy Hope we see more Star Wars books on here when that next movie comes out!

[@thecityofboston1251]

Firefly getting name dropped in the first thirty second This is gonna be great

[@thoarnejones2501]

you guys impersonation of the emperor is hilarious. "I'll have to ask him out."

[@moayad1244]

Sal I like how some thing that i came to look forward during this show is in the background the selves how almost every episode there in different places idk y like i'm thinking were's that cap statue going to be next or the saga comic or the dark knight returns statue etc lol.

[@Runge_was_here]

Your storytelling got my views; however, " Jobba loves Big Gizz!" Is what got my subscription. 😂Cheers gentlemen 🍻

[@krush9664]

i would love to see you guys do Vader Down after it fully out

[@jonfrombuckland_3784]

Oh my gosh! I forgot all about Big Gizz Worst name ever!

[@alexnejako777]

There are a number of characters from Shadows of the Empire used in the old Galactic Battlegrounds PC game including a playable Outrider and Dash Rendar.

[@michaelthethird702]

Still waiting for the We'll Start Understanding single to hit stores and iTunes

[@monstermanalex1313]

I'm definitely more a Trekkie...but this was my shit as a kid. ALL OF IT! Even had the Audiobook on Cassette(s). And as a Redhead, it was nice to have a boy representative, Dash, in the Star Wars universe that wasn't that stone cold Mara Jade. I never had all the comics, so I'm stoked.

[@Oaktree0]

Think I've read literally every Dark Horse Star Wars comic so bummed to see them end their runs. Awesome guys happy Star Wars weekend going to see it on Sunday for my birthday.

[@comicpop]

+Zachary Goodrich It looks like they're reprinting a bunch of Dark Horse stuff through Marvel! Happy early birthday, Zach!

[@theresamonroe1651]

+Comic Pop! This was dope I enjoyed the hell out of this please think about doing more Star Wars books also more injustice 🙏😃👍

[@S0C0ZY]

You guys should do TMNT next week idk witch run or book but do one of them

[@Astralspirit716]

You guys should do Dark Tower stuff. It would be funny to see you explain a crazy old man scream and throwing grenades from a balcony.

[@Grievousish]

Yes! Finally we are in my favourite topic. Force be with you all!

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

+Grievousish And also with you.

[@barraki6706]

(11:28) Still not as impressive a name as Big Dix.

[@thetreeshaker4143]

1:32 for epic Dave Dorman art

[@tgrsklz]

Best episode of back issues ever!

[@chrisd7562]

Sal I hope when Rouge one comes out you do Dark Empire

[@fcm3d]

Aww I freak'in love the N64 Shadows of the Empire!

[@dalewatkinson8430]

I'm not a star wars fan. but you guys made it sound fun. well done guys on another awesome episode. keep up the good work.

[@flywheelshyster]

you know, whats the story behind dark horse cause those star wars comics were drawn beautifully and had some killer stories. we all know the story of image so well because of its influence in the 90s for creator control but where and how did dark horse come about, a possible elseworlds if you ever see this sal

[@ineptgamer3814]

You guys are blowing my mind..! There are gaps between Empire and Return..? Empire ends with Han being taken away and Return starts with the rescue, so I thought they were together like the Matrix 2 & 3. And looks like I'm also going to have to google "Steam Shovel" too, cos I've never even heard of that.!

[@deadpoolgroupie5497]

We also see Dash as a cameo in a 90s comic set after Jedi.

[@alexnejako777]

You can play as Dash Rendar and drive the Outrider around in the Galactic Battlegrounds CD Rom game. If you choose you can make your own scenario with the Star Warriors vs Boba Fett, Jabba and minions and set them against each other.. and listen to everybody's dialogue!!

[@keith92013]

In a galaxy far far away Sal teach the force Ben become a Sith Lord Ethan get Physical

[@Quntumking]

Great vid , could you guys do ARMAGEDOON 2001?

[@dentonfilms8446]

Ben played the game, Eathen read the book and Sal read the comic. Together they complete the multi media event!

[@dentonfilms8446]

Damnit I misspelled Ethan

[@Sicod79]

I played this game to death. So good. Comic...I was aware it existed...

[@cisnerd_2093]

Shadows of the Empire Vader is kind of weird and cartoony, but still recognizably Vader. He's how Vader would be written as in an hypothetical early 90's animated series, as voiced by Tim Curry.

[@agustinblasco9100]

I only read the first Dark Empire and the kir kanos story arcs but still feel like the lore master when they referenced dark empire lol

[@parallaxspectre]

Shadows of the Empire. It did happen, I saw it happen, don't tell me it didn't happen!!! Just like General Grievous coughs because Mace Windu crushed his chest plate!!

[@tycooke9286]

Great video once again guys!

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Not a huge fan of Star Wars but I loved this!

[@cisnerd_2093]

I noticed you reference Dark Empire as a "great comic." I don't agree with you, but I would love love LOVE to see you do an episode on Dark Empire, because in my opinion it is 90's comics to the extreme, and your 90's episodes are the best.

[@symbiote1982pk]

I only ever read the comic and played the N64 game, they didn't seem to tell a cohesive story, does reading the novel fill in the gaps very well?

[@comicking8639]

you guy's should do john romita jr's captain America run

[@jtsupersized]

Swoop bikes/racing were totally a thing in Star Wars: KOTOR.

[@comicpop]

+Instructions Unclear; Face stuck in toaster That's true! Seven years after this.

[@jtsupersized]

+ComicPOP! ... thats not pod-racing :(

[@ferociouscamel767]

ccan u do more star wars books please

[@3dagalathor]

Sal you going to post this weeks elseworlds episode?

[@montyhedstrom1356]

Good episode guys!

[@troyperank4556]

So I gotta question what is cannon in Star Wars is only the first two trilogy's

[@kordelshorgar122]

i'm not a fan of star wars but it was cool hear you guys talk about it

[@kylesousa2051]

That is ONE BIG JIZZ

[@batfreeze56]

So I have a question for you three: Who is your favorite Star Wars villain and why? Personally I love Darth Maul cause he looks freaking awesome.

[@thecityofboston1251]

Dewcoo because never forget.

[@ryebreadreturn1]

+Batfreeze Vader. Dude looks like a badass and walks around like a badass. Fought Luke on Bespin with one hand without even trying. Walks everywhere because running is for underlings. Alters the deal whenever he wants because that's what badasses do. Also a decisive leader who replaces under-performing minions without hesitation.

[@Grievousish]

I don't think I need to clarify

[@nathanjtjw]

The sand person that shoots the podracing on the cliff. The one second to the left obviously

[@bgajdek]

Else worlds ??? Where did it go?

[@flywheelshyster]

a fun, classic back issues. shame the new canon doesn't keep it, its so fittingly star wars. or star warsian. heh

[@comet_omlette]

12:57

[@gbone302]

DO MORE PLEASE

[@blueldrrich84]

Sal, I push like for videos I find really funny. I wish I had more likes to give, because I'm laughing a lot. Thank you. :)

[@agustinblasco9100]

lol I literally just watch this for ben s obliged big gizz joke

[@zaroc91]

The Mighty Boosh!

[@vincentbrown4009]

You should give the guys the gift of a batshit batman story: Batman Odyssey

[@WillowsRoommate]

Hey guys! I was wondering why the video is stuck in 360p?

[@comicpop]

+nick prado Hey, it's up to 720!

[@DaBlueJay2001]

+ComicPOP Why is there no picture for prince shizor?

[@KingOfAllBlerds]

I've heard rumors that one of the next Star Wars films will be a Heist movie that features Fett. Do you think the heist will be stealing Han from Bobba Fett?

[@scottholcomb4739]

Did you ever do dark empire?

[@comicpop]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGWulWCHbZiLqLcfeature=shared

[@bbthumb43]

i have the over sized giant new hope comic. anyone know the worth on that. decent to good shape

[@jordanhunter1211]

why didn't vader try to save luke after he was captured by jabba?

[@Seton7588]

O, I loved this Novel!

[@tyfromthe5thdimension26]

Actually over 20 years ago

[@Joshwoocool]

Ive seen episode 1. That's it.

[@ArcticxBeaver]

Why don't Ethan and Ben not read a lot of comics?

[@comicpop]

+Alex It's the show: explaining comics with lots of continuity to people who have no context, and seeing what roads that leads down.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

+ComicPOP! I think the more appropriate term would be "rabbit hole".

[@shaddowrealm]

I had to wait until I saw the movie before watching this incase there were any spoiler comments

[@parkerfrazier1414]

hey sai i just saw the new star wars movie and i loved it i have a challenge for you because i know you saw it what was your favorite part without spoiling it for someone how has not seen in the the chat below.

[@comicpop]

+parker frazier Excellent question; I'll need to think about it. In the meantime, you might wanna see my quick Star Wars reaction video. I don't say a favorite part, but I probably get as close as possible to one.

[@parkerfrazier1414]

ok thanks on responing cuz i want to talk about it but i know if i say anything ill kinda spoil it

[@bevrosity]

it sucks that this isn't canon anymore. so many comics and books that i've read are no longer relevant in the main continuity any more. sad face

[@reginaldwhitley3373]

im 17 have never seen a single ep of star wars

[@nathanjtjw]

That's a damn shame

[@xw2542]

Reginald Whitley I'm sorry no one in your live loves you :/

[@buku43v3r]

YES

[@buku43v3r]

+buku43v3r The novel is my second favorite EU book
