    During his years as a Benedictine monk, TOM VEITCH formed lasting friendships with two former Trappist monks. One of those men, whose religious name was Elias, agreed to discuss with Tom his inner spiritual life, covering a period of more than fifty years. The result was THE VISIONS OF ELIAS, published in 2016 by Sky River Books and available on Amazon.

    TOM VEITCH wrote the best-selling STAR WARS graphic novels DARK EMPIRE and TALES OF THE JEDI. He also authored creator-owned graphic novels for DC Comics and Marvel/Epic Comics, including THE LIGHT AND DARKNESS WAR (with artist Cam Kennedy), THE NAZZ (with artist Bryan Talbot), CLASH! (with artist Adam Kubert), and MY NAME IS CHAOS (with artist John Ridgway). In the early 1990s Tom and Cam Kennedy were invited by George Lucas to revive Star Wars comics, which had been dormant for half a decade. Their award-winning graphic novel STAR WARS: DARK EMPIRE has gone through many editions and helped pave the way for a Star Wars renaissance. Tom also conceived and originated TALES OF THE JEDI (aka Knights of the Old Republic), featuring stories that take place 4000 years before the time period of the Star Wars films.

    Less well known is the fact that From 1960 to 1965 Tom was an active participant in the literary scene on New York's Lower East Side, and from 1965 to 1968 he was a cloistered Benedictine monk in Weston, Vermont. It was at Weston that Tom met the two spiritual visionaries whose stories he tells in THE VISIONS OF ELIAS.

Well to start a brief description of this awesome graphic novel and end of the Dark EMPIRE trilogy is that Tom Veign the writer and my honest opinion underrated Cam Kennedy artwork is superb. This 2nd Edition that for some reason i missed back in 2006 is the best of both world's due to EMPIRE'S END is also included on this TPB which the original EMPIRE'S END TPB goes for $40 + online, on a note's end i highly recommend this volume and also the previous Dark Empire volume 1 TPB because excerpts of this trilogy will be most likely included on Star Wars episode IX possibly titled " A NEW ORDER" last but not least great addition to any Star Wars collector's a solid 10+ 👍

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Chapter in the Star Wars Expanded Universe
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2006

This chapter of the Star Wars Universe takes place six years after the events on Endor (the events in the Return of the Jedi film). Luke has just recovered from being led by the Emperor and turning to the dark side himself.

This series of books (Dark Empire I, II, and Empire's End) has been widely received by many who follow the Expanded Universe. Events in future books are shaped greatly by what occurs in these books, namely restarting the Jedi Academy on Yavin.

Now, for the first time, Empire's End is included with this re-release of the comic by Dark Horse. This set of both books is a Must Have for any Star Wars fan.

First off, I got the wrong one, I meant to get the first one. But this one was good too. I'm only giving it 4 stars. Because It was in magazine form on the "Book on Cd" Really gets you into the story much better than just reading the magazine form. I heard the dark empire 1 and two. And, it was awesome on Cd. I'm so glad Leia saved Luke from the dark side. Why couldn't it be in chapter book form. Anyway, nice job!

I have Dark Empire audio and I want the comic book edition to see the characters and vehicles to see how the characters look. The story is very good and the star wars continues to do good. It is good to see all the characters and this story show how the characters are growing and developing. The art work is good for the time period it was drawn in so please keep that in mind with you read the story. The story line is very good and the art work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another ok book, but nothing special

The second and third graphic novels in the Dark Empire series. Much like with the first Dark Empire book, I was rather disappointed. I knew full well it was a graphic novel, but the story line remains weak. I am a long time Star Wars fan, and this book was a bit of a let down. Dark Empire as a whole does not fit well into the Legacy cannon that was created by the books, and now invalidated by Episode 7, primarily with the Thrawn Trilogy and the first 8 books of the X-Wing series. Granted, the Thrawn trilogy was written three years after Dark Empire was, and the X-Wing series was several years after Thrawn, but as I read the Thrawn trilogy and X-Wing series first, this seems very out of place.

I had to get this to replace a lost one that I simply had to have. The story was just as good now as it was back when it first came out, with great artwork and storyline. It's greta to go back to the Rebel Alliance time and relive the building of the Jedi and the New Republic with the originals that made Star Wars what it is today.

Dark Empire is a tale of enemies reborn, heroes tested, and is a new dawn for the Star Wars universe. Fantastic art, a gripping story, memorable characters and filled with lore, this is great for any and all fans of Star Wars

2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to par with other Star Wars canon
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2010

I became a fan of the Star Wars Expanded Universe after reading Timothy Zahn's fabulous "Thrawn" series. From there, I have picked up other Zahn Star Wars books and have read a few of the SW Dark Horse comic stories. In later books there are mentions of a time when Luke learned about the dark side from the cloned emperor...events which happen in the Dark Empire series. So I decided to give these books a try. Frankly, the Dark Empire series just doesn't seem to fit the rest of the Star Wars universe, both in tone and in storyline. The cloned emperor and his dark minions are just too outlandish, too cartoony. The action and plotline just don't seem "believable", which seems strange to say about a work of science fiction, but even that genre should try to follow some rules of continuity. The introduction of massive new powers of the emperor and over-the-top gargantuan weapons just gets to be "too much". In addition, the artwork just falls flat as well. For amazing comic art, I would recommend the Dark Horse adaptation of the Thrawn series (available in a gorgeous hardcover edition). The only reason I would recommend this to anyone is if they were wondering about Luke's time as apprentice to the emperor. If you can live without knowing the details (they're not really that interesting, frankly) then I would skip the Dark Empire series.
