Despite what the crew thinks, Jerec hasn’t come here just to destroy the Rebel cell on Sulon. Above Sulon, a Star Destroyer under the command of the Dark Jedi Jerec looks down on the moon.
While he walks off, thinking about the state of the galaxy, he begins to get a funny feeling that something’s coming… Morgan Katarn, father of the hero of the story, sets out from his farm to replace a water pump some distance from his house. The book begins on the moon world of Sulon, a farming colony with a population mostly made up of humans and droids. Soldier for the Empire starts out long before Dark Forces II, taking place a few months before the Battle of Yavin. Dark Forces II is a real gem!Īll right, drooling done. Looking at those videos, I wish more modern games had scenes where real actors portrayed characters in the game(s) story/stories. Dark Forces II was state of the art when it was created and, while it may not have held up perfectly in everyone’s opinion, the craftsmanship that went into it still shows.
If you want to see what those look like, readers, then check out this post of mine here.īased on the videos alone, I can see why Kyle became such a hit with fans. To make one of these sequel games – Dark Forces II – more interesting, the designers hired actors and actresses to play the characters in “live action” cut scenes during the game. Due in large part to Kyle’s character, Dark Forces skyrocketed to fame with fans, so much so that several subsequent games were designed for the new Jedi.
So they decided to come up with a completely new character for the game instead. However, the game makers realized that putting Luke in the games would mess up the franchise’s continuity. Originally, the hero of the Dark Forces video games was supposed to be Luke Skywalker. This is the first of three short novelizations based on video games where the fan-favorite original EU character Kyle Katarn made his debut. 😉 ) Here’s the next Star Wars book on my promised review list: Star Wars: Dark Forces – Soldier for the Empire. Whoo, all right! We are bookin’ it, readers! (Haha – pun.
