-[MotU]-Lyger|=- Posted August 1, 2002 Author Share Posted August 1, 2002 could some one sum up the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 He really didn't do a heck of a lot, he had some speaking roles that where sort of irrelevant, but the main thing he did was blow up Xzior's(Spelling?) Skyhook Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-[MotU]-Lyger|=- Posted August 1, 2002 Author Share Posted August 1, 2002 did he battle anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 You mean with a lightsaber? I don't think he did, because Luke had just finished constructing his new Green saber, and I don't remember him battling anyone with it. And in ROTJ, Vader says "I see you have constructed a new lightsaber," So I doubt Vader had seen it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-[MotU]-Lyger|=- Posted August 1, 2002 Author Share Posted August 1, 2002 oh so this story took place before RotJ ok, makes sense why vader is in it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 SOTE is basically the story of Vader vs Xizor with trying to find han inbetween it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Slayne Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I was a little disapointed in the fact that the book was too short, and it seemed more directed at the younger reading group. Thats not to say that I didn't like it though. But to clarify Clem's comment, its set between Empire strikes back and Return of the Jedi. I don't recal Vader doing any fighting in it.

Reb Starblazer Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Hmm, that's rather strange. I could have sworn that Vader and Xizor got into a duel in it. But, it's been a long time, so I may not remember it that well. Just for clarification, they didn't fight with a lightsabre each. I think Xizor had some kind of Cortosis( or some other material that a Lighsabre can't cut through) Staff that he fought Vader off with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Talliusc Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 they do not duel (sadly) but vader does take out several assassin droids weilding lightsabers. (and for the record in the eu luke and vader fought a total of 5 times 2 of which in the movies but none in SOTE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psionic Jedi Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Xizor and Vader played "Who can suck up to the Emperor best" the whole time and Xizor tried to piss vader off by trying to kill Luke. Sorry I couldn't answer your question about what he EXACTLY did . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Monk Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 SotE was okay... brilliant, relative to most of the other EU novels... but it just doesn't fit my vision of what happened between Empire and Jedi. Almost since the first time I saw those two movies, I thought the Emperor found out about Vader conspiring with Luke against him. The Emperor whips Vader into shape which is who he goes back to the cowering dog-on-a-leash we see in Jedi. Nothing like that in SotE... so I'm disappointed with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but it was a good book. It was fast and fun, but It should have been longer like the Zahn books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
