Topic: Dark Force Rising


In the News (Wed 16 Dec 09)

  
  Novel Ideas - Dark Force Rising   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Dark Force Rising is one of those cliched-sounding titles that originates with, as far as I can tell, a Country and Western song from the early 1980s entitled Black Moon Rising.
The "Dark Force" of the title is the fabled Katana Fleet, 200 Dreadnought Cruisers from the Old Republic that were lost in space and never recovered...
This is the true strength of Dark Force Rising - it shows that not only is Thrawn a villain, but that his powers of deduction are every bit as falible and flimsy as his other resources, the TIE fighters and stormtroopers that the good guys wade through at every turn.

 Dark Force Rising (Star Wars Vol. 2)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Dark Jedi schemes to use his awesome mastery of the Force to summon young Skywalker allay his misgivings, cunningly enthrall him, and ultimately corrupt him to the Dark Side.
Dark Force Rising is better written than Heir to the Empire, and it details elements alluded to in that first novel.
None of this is sufficient to stop "Dark Force Rising" from being a great piece of Star Wars lore; it's not the alltime great it could have been (and that the other two episodes of the Thrawn trilogy were) but it's certainly not a bad or a 'merely average' book either.

At that point in time, Gavin was already a rising Naval Fighter commander, aboard one of the Star Destroyers in Vader's 'Death Squadron'.
During this time he had "training" under many lost Jedi, both light and dark, and completed his training with the construction of his own lightsabre (in addition to the one he constructed under Vader), a double olive bladed weapon that he used up until arriving on Xenen.
He oversees many force adepts and acts as a mentor when called upon, but since Krill, has not taken on another padawan.

 Katana fleet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Katana fleet (known more eerily as "The Dark Force") is a fictional starfleet from the Star Wars universe, introduced in Timothy Zahn's Dark Force Rising.
The flagship of the Katana fleet was named the Katana (hence the official name), and the nickname came from the color of the ships' hulls and from the fact that high levels of automation greatly reduced the required crew of the ships, thus reducing the amount of internal lighting needed.
With the aid of Luke Skywalker, Mara rescued Karrde from Thrawn's forces and brought him to the New Republic.

Dark Force Rising moves with the speed of light, across a dazzling landscape of galactic proportions, from world to world, from adventure to adventure, as Good and Evil clash across the vastness of space 'a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...'
Dark Force Rising is the second instalment of Timothy Zahn's Heir To The Empire trilogy.
Dark Force Rising is perhaps the best of the three books, just as in most people's opinion the Empire Strikes Back was the best of the original three films.

Dark Force Rising picks up immediately after the events of the trilogy's first book, Heir to the Empire.
In much the same way that The Empire Strikes Back takes the universe established in Star Wars: A New Hope and enriches and deepens it, so too does Dark Force Rising expand and enrich from what was established in Heir to the Empire.
And Dark Force Rising is a marvelous continuation of what was begun in Heir to the Empire.

The number-one New York Times bestselling Heir to the Empire was the publishing event of the year, the first novel to continue the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo, beyond the events of the most popular trilogy in movie history.
But most dangerous of all is a new Dark Jedi, risen from the ashes of a shrouded past, consumed by bitterness...and thoroughly, utterly insane.
Now he schemes to use his awesome mastery of the Force to summon young Skywalker, allay his misgivings, cunningly enthrall him, and ultimately corrupt him to the Dark Side.

 Jedi Council Forums - Dark Force Rising
The one thing that always bothered me about "Dark Force Rising" was the way the New Republic reacted to the empire posessing a small fleet of dreadnaughts.
After Thrawn proved in HttF how desperate he was for capital ships, and with the NR seeming to only have a small number more than he did, getting his hand on such a vast fleet of ships would give him the upper hand.
Plus, the remnant was tattered and factionalised back then, so the fleet size of ANY one part of the remnant may not have been much more than that.

Sure enough, in Return of the Jedi, we learned quickly that Vader was but a pawn in his master's dark game of galactic domination.
The Emperor, from the moment he first touched down on Death Star II, made it clear that it was he who was in charge all along.
No wonder that 16 years later, Lucas again enlisted McDiarmid to play a young Senator Palpatine in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, making him one of the few performers from the classic trilogy to reprise his character in the prequels.
