All you need is the Classic Star Wars collection.

 Maybe its mw just being grown up - but the classic MARVEL and the Daily strips are really enjoyable to read. It might be the throw-away absurdity of some of it, or just how it resonates with the era of the OT.

- Golden Age of the Sith and Fall of the Sith Empire would have been true to what was established in Dark Lords of the Sith

- no Sith poison

- no Sith amulets

- Luke wouldn't turn dark

- Dark Empire would take place immediately after ROTJ

- Dark Empire II and Empire's End wouldn't exist

- Legacy wouldn't exist

 Tales of the Jedi is great - I always loved the idea of a Sith species, that gradually became an secular organisation.


If you were to consider changing the comic adaptations of the films - ie alter some crucial plot elements for a better plotline overall - what would you change? And think Radically - this might be a whole new approach to the story.

Would the Emperor in fact be an ancient Sith survivor, perhaps even be Naga Sadow (or make Naga Sadow Palpatine) - art could easily be recoloured/altered. Would he survive the DSII, and actually die in Dark Empire?

Could Leia NOT be Luke's sister - could you rework another character (perhaps a non-romantic Mara Jade or Lumiya fill this role?)

Perhaps Luke could spend more time with Ben Kenobi? Maybe Anakin's story could be retold?

I've definitely given thought to The Emperor being ancient. He could be the power behind the throne of all the Sith, the Dark Jedi who started the Great Schism, the creator of the Sith species, or all of the above.

Veitch initially wanted to write about the Great Jedi Purge. It would have involved Obi-Wan among a group of Jedi, with the rest of the group getting wiped out throughout series and ending with Obi-Wan moving into his hut. Seeing that concept would be interesting.
