An aesthetic change I'd make is having Luke have a red lightsaber and Darth Vader have a blue light saber, having retrieved his old lightsaber from the duel on Cloud City. It would be like the "Revenge" poster and also hint at a change in the two characters. Vader going back too good and Luke possibly falling to the Dark Side. It would enhance the reverse symbolism greatly in the end duel...

I like this idea.

Oh my gosh, this looks brilliantly awful:

Anyone seen it?

No. But I have seen that godawful-looking car in another movie called Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn. That was a brilliantly awful movie in it's own right =D

I'm irritated that I can't find a digital copy of the Guinness Book of World Records 2000 to download from the flotsamming Internet.

Of the tons of crap they have online, you'd think something as popular as the damn Guinness books would be available on a rar or zip file. But nooooooooo.

But still, I think people that are vehemently against Emperor clones maybe misunderstand that this fictional universe includes both Cloning and Dark Magic. You can argue with the execution, but it seems odd to argue that it should be impossible in the universe.

I myself don't mind bringing the Emperor back through cloning. Fact is I think Veitch did a great job with Palpatine's characterization; he really built upon the Palpatine from ROTJ.

Dark Empire fails for me, though, in it's depiction of Luke's fall to the dark side. Veitch tells us that Luke went through Palpatine's dark side tomes and experimented with dark powers, but he never shows us this happening; it's just glossed over. And I never really got the feeling that Luke even fell to the dark side in the story. It's more like Luke because a sissy and went along with Palpatine out of sheer cowardice.

Without Ford’s iconic performance as Han Solo, Star Wars is just the hokey story of a whining farm boy who catches the eye of a weird old wizard and then flies around space accompanied by a pair of gay robots and an overgrown dog man.

I hate it when people say this, utterly hate this! Why do people keep reusing this canard - why?! It's positively untrue! It's pure libel!

Only Threepio is gay.

The novel had a feeling of everything must be viewed from a Prequel point of view.

This pretty much sums up the current state of the EU.

And the capital crime is the perpetual resurrection of the Emperor! Whose clever idea was it to actually have him come back again and again and again?

It was Lucas, believe it or not. Veitch originally planned to bring Vader back in the form of an imposter for Dark Empire, but Lucas thought that Vader as the antagonist had already been throughly explored and that it would be better to bring Palpatine back instead.
