A history of the dark times

"So this is how liberty dies—with thunderous applause."
-Senator Padmé Amidala

When Palpatine declared the birth of his new Empire, he expected it would stand for millennia. Instead, it lasted only 24 years. This is the story of how a tyrannical regime rose from the ashes of democracy, ruled the galaxy with an iron fist, and then collapsed into dust.

It is a story of war and heroes, of the power of propaganda and the dangers of complacency. But most of all, it is a story of normal people trying to live their lives in the face of a brutal dictatorship.

From the ruthlessness of Darth Vader's campaigns to the horrors of the Tarkin Initiative, this book offers fresh new insights into the dark entity at the core of Star Wars.

5,0 sur 5 étoiles History and Star Wars nerds rejoice!
Commenté aux États-Unis le 9 août 2024

If you, like me, are both a Star Wars nerd and a history nerd, this is the book for you. Chris Kempshall expertly recounts the rise, fall, and resurgence of the Galactic Empire with academic heft and a love for the source material. He deftly recounts the ins and outs of canon Star Wars events while skillfully leaving room for more exploration as those stories continue to unfold. I especially loved the consistent distinction he made about the inherent conflict between the self-serving whims of an evil emperor and the totalitarian actions and ideologies of the empire, one of the seeds of it’s eventual downfall. Loved this book! The Fall and Rise of the Galactic Republic when!?

5,0 sur 5 étoiles A great read for Star Wars fans.
Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 6 juillet 2024

My son bought this (and is the one writing this review) and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's basically a novel, combined with a historical telling of the Empire, told from an in-universe perspective, going from the reign of the Empire, through to the end of its ideology, with the destruction of the First and Final Order.

It's a very engrossing read, I flew through the book a lot faster than I thought I would. Mainly because I started the book, and then completely lost track of time.

I've read through several Star Wars novels, from Zahn's Thrawn trilogy (as well as a couple other Thrawn novels) to the Aftermath books. And this book ranks amongst my favourites, due in part to the unique perspective it offers readers.

It also helps that I have interacted with Dr Kempshall on social media (albeit briefly), and find him to be a pretty solid guy with an obvious care for both his own work, and the Star Wars universe.

I hope he reads this, and I hope he knows that if he ever decides to do a similar book like this for other Star Wars factions, I would be more than interested.

For fans of Star Wars, especially lore buffs like myself, it's a very worthwhile purchase.

5,0 sur 5 étoiles Unique crossover of Star Wars and history writing
Commenté en Australie le 12 juillet 2024

Absolutely brilliant book.

If you are interested in political/military history and Star Wars, this book is well worth a read.

The author is a proper historian who has assumed the identity of a historian living in the time of the sequel movies who details the history of the Galactic Empire, often from different perspectives than seen in the TV shows or movies.

It presents a coherent picture of how the Empire came to power, how it worked and why it fell apart.

I really enjoyed the way it is structured as a serious academic text with endnotes at the end of each chapter that reference presumably fictional archives and interviews. At times he will reference events seen in a movie but the footnote will explain that it was referenced to an interview someone did after the war, etc.

I have read very few Star Wars books so quite a lot of story in the book was new. My understanding is he’s taken a lot of pre-existing lore but also some new stuff, and some stuff that has been taken out of the canon that he’s now re-canonized. I suppose if you’d read every Star Wars book this would be clearer but for me it meant there was plenty new.

The book goes through the history of military and political events but also explores bureaucratic structures, economics, ideology and the crimes of the Empire big and small so it gives quite a different perspective.

5,0 sur 5 étoiles Clever and Authentic
Commenté aux États-Unis le 23 juillet 2024

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, but I loved it. It is written in-universe by a historian who lives after the events of the Rise of Skywalker. It reads very authentic. The author masterfully pulls in details from the movies, television shows (both live-action and animated), and canon books and comics. He cleverly connects and explains what some might feel are contradictions in the Star Wars narrative.

Readers who aren't very familiar with all the minutiae of Star Wars would enjoy the book. However, it includes a few winks that those well-versed in the franchise will appreciate. (A particular comment about boots comes to mind.)

I would unreservedly recommend this book to any Star Wars fan.
