Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Empire Vol. 2
Collects Star Wars: Dark Times #6-17, Star Wars: Dark Times - Blue Harvest #0, Star Wars: Dark Times - Out of the Wilderness #1-5.
The dark times continue! As the Empire strengthens its grip in the wake of Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith, the remaining Jedi are marked for death! Jedi Master K'kruhk faces a battle for his life — one with deadly parallels for Bomo Greenbark and the crew of the smuggler vessel Uhumele. Meanwhile, Master Dass Jennir is down to his last credit and faces a stark choice: compromise his ideals or starve. Being a Jedi may make him an outlaw, but does being an outlaw mean he's no longer a Jedi? Darth Vader doesn't care: He's on Dass's trail either way — and so is the dread assassin Falco Sang!

The artwork here is impressive, and the stories are a blast. It's amazing to realize how much more there is to the story of Star Wars than just the films.
However, the female characters here are a bit "oversexed"; one rather buxom woman is seen in either a low-cut or midriff-baring outfit almost every time she appears. While this franchise already had its share of immodestly dressed ladies (Leia's metal bikini? Padmé's outfits in Attack of the Clones?) some discerning viewers may find this to be inappropriate eye candy for those with "Y" chromosomes.

I feel a bit guilty that I didn't take more notice of these books when they were originally published by Dark Horse. Nevertheless, I'm glad I've found my way to them now. There's a lot for a Star Wars fan to enjoy here, a fact which is all the more impressive given how few big-name characters make an appearance. I feel just as invested in characters that only appear in these pages as I do in those I've watched onscreen for more than thirty years. I tip my hat to the creators for being able to pull such a thing off. It's no easy task.

Another great entry in the Dark Times strand of the Dark Horse Star Wars comics set in the period shortly after the rise of the Empire.
Tales of Jedi in hiding, pirates, smugglers, slavers, spice dealers and brothel keepers—totally up my alley and the kind of thing I want from my space adventures.
And I think I’ve found another droid to add to my roster of favourites — H2 is hilarious.

Brilliantly continuing the stories of jennir and bomo, two of the surprisingly likable characters to come out of nowhere. Really really great work

More interesting than the last graphic novel volume I read. Much better artwork. Some good stories but not too many familiar characters.

Yep, Dass Jennir is one of my top 4 Jedi at this point. Any medium. There’s only a small handful of really standout moments with him in this volume, but he’s consistently just awesome. This volume turns him into Jedi John Wick with the vibes of Clint Eastwood. How can I not like him? Blue Harvest / Out of the Wilderness is a great standalone story from the Purge era, too. Like, this is what you should come to Star Wars for, yeah?
It’s crazy to me that this almost never concluded. There’s a year-and-a-bit gap between the publication of Blue Harvest and when Out of the Wilderness begins. If they’d waited much longer, the buyout would’ve put a stop to it. Which makes me sad, and I wonder if that means there’s very little — if any — of Dass’s story left. I don’t know how much more there is you could tell, I just hope there is more, ya know?
I guess I should talk about the rest of the book too, because Dass is only in the last half. Well, “Vector” I’ll talk about when I review the corresponding material in the Old Republic era comics. I don’t want to spoil that stuff, of which I know almost literally 0. I have nearly nothing spoiled for me in that whole era. So I chose to skip it this time. It appears I missed some cool stuff, so I’ll be excited to revisit this volume at the time. I want to get a bit further along the way into the Empire Era, but I’ll be going through the Old Republic before long. Don’t good things come to those who wait?
But Parallels is also a really good story. I liked K’khruk in the Clone Wars, there’s no reason I wouldn’t take a liking to him here as well. I do.
The 6th issue (first of the volume) has one of the absolute most chilling depictions of Order 66 I’ve witnessed, and I’ve seen a lot of slaughtered Jedi. Page 15ish of the volume is just absolutely brutal, a Stormtrooper playing with kids when he suddenly gets a comm transmission from Palpatine to kill those very kids. Oh it’s haunting, I put the book down for a long moment when I read it at first. Just something about the way it’s shown gets to me.
I really like Crys is this arc. It’s a shame we won’t see her reunite with her son (I assume that doesn’t happen in the arc I skipped, didn’t seem like there’d be time). So granted I might be wrong on this point, I wish those two plot lines met at some point, even if it were just in a later arc. It really doesn’t, much. It almost feels like the author wanted to do the K’khruk story but was mandated to tell both. So they just told both, even if they aren’t the same story. I appreciate that the title is telling me they’re both here because they parallel, that’s nice, but I want them to collide eventually. I don’t really want parallels, I want slowly intersecting line segments.
I will also take this opportunity to say that I like the artist on the other arcs better, but… uh, there are some panels in issue #9 that I’m rather surprised we’re allowed in a Star Wars comic. I know Leia and the Episode VI outfit, yeah, I get that, but this is… more. Anywho, I’m moving on, but wowzah.
I don’t have a ton more to say about that storyline except that it’s a well-done narrative about self-sacrifice and the many forms that can take, about clinging to convictions, about challenging convictions — and it’s very fun to read, but I don’t have much more to say on it. I hope we get more K’khruk, but we’ll see. I’d like to see him and Dass together at some point.
I don’t think I liked any of this significantly better than its predecessor in Vol. 1, but this is more overall consistent than that volume. I’m actively interested in all plot-threads provided (save the one I’m coming back to later for different reasons). That’s more than I can say for Vol. 1, so I’m ultimately giving them the same score. Higher lows and lower highs are perfectly fine when steadying the course of a story… but I do so hope I get more from these characters. I want it to all go out on a higher note than this, even if I am rounding this up to a 5-star book.

The second volume of the Star Wars Empire Epic Collection collects solely of issues from it's Dark Times series. This series focuses on the months immediately following the events of Episode 3 and focuses on Darth Vader, a former Jedi knight named Dass Jennir, the crew of the Uhumele as they attempt to sell a mysterious cargo, and Darth Vader as he attempts to hunt the Jedi across the galaxy.
The first storyline, "Parallels", takes us back just before Order 66 was executed and follows a Jedi Master named K'Krunk and the younglings he is training. As the order is executed, he takes the Younglings with him to hide from the Empire. 2 months later, the crew of the Uhumele are meeting with a potential buyer for their myserious cargo. It goes very bad, the cargo is hijacked by pirates and the crew of the Uhumele are kidnapped and tortured. The pirates crash onto a planet and discover K'Krunk and the younglings, forcing K'Krunk to drastic measures to protect them. It's a very compelling story, really taps into just how volatile and dangerous things got after the Empire took over. The ending is just heartbreaking, but sets up for some great storylines to follow and even a bit of mystery with leaving you wondering what's in the box.
The second storyline, "Vector", was part of a multi-series event that works well being self contained here. The crew of the Uhuleme have found a buyer for the cargo, one that seems a lot more legitimate and safer than the last one. Turns out it's Darth Vader and that this cargo is a lot more important than they first thought. Without spoiling to much, this is the weakest of the stories in the Empire Epic Collections so far. It has some great fight scenes and exciting moments, but it seemed to stretching in terms of trying to fit in with the crossover event it is part of.
"Blue Harvest" is the third set here and easily the best one. Dass Jennir takes on a job from a mysterious lady named Ember to help get rid of slavers in her town. When Dass gets to the town, he quickly becomes involved in a gang war between slavers and spicers. This story really works, putting Dass into the role of Clint Eastwood in this space western. Lots of interesting new characters introduced here and the action is top notch. There really isn't much of a presence here from the other Dark Times characters other than Dass, but it still works incredibly well as a Star Wars story.
Lastly we have "Out of the Wilderness", a story that follows Dass and Ember as they are stranded on a sun drenched, deserted planet and being hunted by an assassin. Elsewhere the Uhumele and Darth Vader are both trying to find Dass, for their own reasons of course. There's a lot of tension here and we see a relationship between Dass and Ember starting. I don't know if it's necessary or not, but it certainly doesn't diminish from the story at all. The ending is great though, left me very excited for volume 3.
All in all, this is another solid collection of Star Wars comics that really help expand the universe in a lot of interesting, unexpected ways. Highly recommended.

Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Empire Vol. 2 starts off with a fresh story with brand new characters and then picks where we last left Dass Jennir, Bomo Greenbark, the crew of the Uhumele, Darth Vader, & The Emperor. Very few of the stories here have happy endings, but that is why it's called The Dark Times. In this second volume, we learn to love the new characters that come in, and feel saddened at the ones we lose, that we came to love from the first volume. We also get to visit new planets and learn for the first time of Darth Vader's secret plan to overthrow The Emperor with an apprentice of his own. My favorite stories take place in issues Dark Times #6, #7, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, Dark Times: Blue Harvest #0, & Dark Times: Out of the Wilderness #1-5. Some of the stories in this volume may seem a bit slow, with some of the characters recalling what happened back in the first volume and them discussing of how unfair and messed up the galaxy seems right now and that there seems to be no hope left, but a new hope is coming!!!! Overall, the book is a great, fun read and has great art, while the slower stories may not be for everybody, I would totally recommend this book if you're a hardcore Star Wars fan like me.

The Empire, vol. 2 picks up where vol.1 left off, throwing readers right back into the action and following Jennir, Greenbark, and the rest of the crew of the Unhele (probably spelled that one wrong).
And technically, that’s a good thing, since everything that happened in the first volume was great.
Vol. 2’s storyline might not be quiet as great as the previous collection, but I’m not complaining. The artwork is fantastic (reminding me of Durrsema’s beautiful work) and the placement of the panels is near perfect.

This epic collection features a few different arcs from the Dark Times series. I am not sure if I liked it as much as the first Empire epic collection. My favorite story in it is probably the "Out in the Wilderness" arc near the end of the collection. Dass Jennir is a good character, and I have enjoyed reading about his story. If you are interested in a story following a Jedi after Order 66, I think you will like this comic.
December 24, 2019
Quick impression: I continue enjoying this series. As I mentioned for the previous volume, some of the tales I have read before, but this one has some new ones to me as well. Overall entertaining.

More adventures amid the Dark Times. They grim but good.
4.5/5 Love the samurai vibes on Dass' journey!

Some fun stuff, some bland stuff. A solid format, with a mix of good and overly simple artwork. Despite its structure, it has some cool cohesiveness between its many characters.
October 20, 2023
This collection is strictly ‘Dark Times’ comics, where from art and story some of the best Star Wars comics there are, tough interesting stories.
January 11, 2024
The Dass Jennir stuff is awesome. Yojimbo meets Star Wars. Need to go back and find more of that character.
November 4, 2024
Well written, with some gorgeous art.
July 18, 2025
Can Mezzy and Maceo find redemption and forgiveness while fighting to save their lives and the world? Do they even want to? It’s absolutely worth reading this series to find out.
June 24, 2022
Personally I’m not a big fan of what Disney is currently doing with the Star Wars franchise (besides Clone Wars and Rogue One) but these comics from Dark Horse reminded me how great Star Wars can be! Beautiful illustrations with great story and an interesting cast of characters this is a comic that any Star Wars fan will enjoy especially those looking for a story with a darker tone. 5/5 stars!

Volume II of 'The Empire' 'Epic Collection' is a good time. There are some key differences in volume II versus the first. For one thing, this volume is almost entirely about Dass Jennir and the crew of the Uhumele (Bomo Greenbark et. al.). Darth Vader makes various appearances, but is in more of a sideshow role this time, and there is a bit on another Jedi and and an ancient Sith Lord and Jedi Warrior. The art varies, and seems notably different than the first volume at times, particularly in the depiction of Dass, who went from young elven prince to old, grizzled Obi Wan Kenobi. The plot lines are mostly transparent and convenient, featuring bits of genres and story arcs like 'the wild west sheriff', but there is enough variety, action and intrigue to keep things interesting. There's even a somewhat unorthodox love story; though some of its issues (near the end of the volume) are the weakest in the collection. Could have done with an R rating to spice things up, but, and this goes for many complaints -- it's Star Wars. You know more or less what you're getting when you sign up.
True Rating: 3.6 Stars

Second entry in Marvel's new Star Wars Legends series, this (as the title suggests) is set between the events of The Rise of the Sith, and of A New Hope.
Following on from Vol. 1 of the same ( Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Empire, Volume 1), the stories in here are all inter-connected through the use of recurring characters, with Vader popping up occasionally to play a pivotal role.
As before, some of the stories (and Artwork) are better than others: for my money, the best is probably 'Blue Harvest', followed closely by 'Out of the Wilderness'. The full list is as follows:
Parallels (parts 1 to 5)
Vector (parts 5 and 6)
Blue Harvest (parts 1 to 5)
Out of the Wilderness (parts 0 to 5)

Excellent!
The empire has risen! Darth Vader, the fist of the emperor is searching for a Sith artifact, jass denner, Jedi, searches for a purpose, his friends are looking for him. Beautiful artwork and a great story makes this a great volume.
