Welcome to the userpage of MPK the Reclusive. I would tell you about myself, but I like to let my userboxes (see below) speak for me, because they're easier to make. XD

Dark Empire
Where to begin on Dark Empire? It's a comic series set after Return of the Jedi, in which Palpatine is reborn in a clone body, reunifies the Galactic Empire, pulls a bunch of ridiculous super-weapons out of thin air.

The drawing style itself is simply horrible. It hurts my eyes to look at it. On top of that, the story itself makes the supposed grand victory in Episode 6 look like nothing. It ruins the sense that the good guys actually accomplished something.

New Jedi Order
I have only a few things to say on this. First of all, they followed the cliché that there should always be an ultra-uber-1337 enemy introduced to fight the good guys. What was wrong with the Imperial Remnant? Why did they have to replace it with a bunch of poorly contrived bug-like humanoids? And what's with this B.S. about them being outside the force? There's no good reason for it.

NJO paints the Jedi as super-ultra powerful, with ridiculous powers like "emerald lightning" which kills people instantly, using the force to fly around like Superman, ect. As if that wasn't bad enough, the NJO series spawned the horrid creation known as Star Wars: Legacy.

So the Sith have returned again with another empire. And there's this off-spring of Luke Skywalker. I wonder if he will eventually end his rejection of the Jedi and rediscover his legacy.

Nahhh, they wouldn't do that.

My Views on other Fanon, and Fanon Writing Style
I've noticed a lot of the fanon here is about big, great heroes who are almost always Jedi who are uber-powerful, defeat the big bad guy, and save the day. And many of those characters are based off of the authors who make them.

A prime example would be the story of Nathaniel Kenobi Solo, made by NKSCF. It's about a superdy duperdy powerful good guy. At age three, he fought Darth Sidious (who was reborn during the Dark Empire comics), and distracted him, allowing Luke and the other heroes to kill Sidious. I don't think I need to say that this whole "age three and can fight a Sith Lord" stuff is absolutely ridiculous. Surprisingly enough, though, at one point in the story Nathan can't figure out a language during one of his many adventures, despite the fact that he seems perfect at almost everything else. The article is also slanted to Nathan's point of view, which is never a good thing unless it's a fan fic.

This Nathaniel Kenobi Solo (I'm just gonna call him Nathan from now on) strikes me as something of an arrogant bag of hot air, personality-wise. Always cracking jokes at the bad guys (such as "Darth Mutatos"), and doesn't get his butt whooped like he deserves. He makes his own rules, and he's a hypocrite.

He can do insanely evil things, like forcing his own father to live forever in pain and torment by cutting him off from the force (see the section entitled "Contradictions Are My Specialty" in his article) but still think of himself on the side of justice. Normally, that's not a problem, as many villains have some sort of justification as to why they do evil things.

But Nathan going around using tons of dark side powers and doing stuff like what I've described above, and on top of believing himself to be good, is seen as a good person by everyone else on the good side! However, since Nathan is so superdy-light side, he forgives his father and SHA-ZAM, his punishment is just gone.

Naturally, Nathan is also an excellent duelist, and is skilled with all forms of lightsaber combat, and freaking incredible with the force as well! Did I mention that he is also wrote a holonovel about his view on the force?

He also seems to know tons of crazy **** which he should have no way of knowing. For example, he confronts a Sith Lord who has some of his friends in captivity, and threatens to toture/kill/ect them unless he answers a bunch of questions about the history of the Sith.

Not surprisingly, Nathan gets them all right. In one question, he is asked to name several specified Sith Lords in the correct order of when they were Dark Lords of the Sith. Several of them were around thousands of years before Nathan was born. Apparently, though, extensive histories of an ancient organization of Dark-Side users were kept in holobooks for millennia, and preserved, and also easy for someone to get their hands on, because Nathan says that he just read them in a holobook at an unspecified time in the past.

On top of that, why is the Sith Lord that Nathan is confronting even bothering with these questions? It's not even a Sith-like thing to do. Even Darth Sidious, who was crafty and clever, would have just engaged him directly in a battle.

Nathan is also apparently an expert ladies-man. He manages to woo a Zeltron chick named Astram Karr easier and faster than James Bond would have, which I never knew was possible. Why do all the Jedi in these stories get hot girlfriends?

Finally, we get to his nemesis, Darth Aemulus. The equally superdy-duperdy eeeevil Dark Lord of the Sith! He's the only one to ever truly challenge the Avenger of the Jedi. Not surprisingly, this Darth Aemulus fellow seems totally devoid of a personality, which seems to fit with the fact that Darth Bandon's picture is used for him.

It also is somewhat comical that Aemulus is really as much of an opposite of Nathan as you can possibly get; Nathan is a good guy who has everything in his personality, every conceivable accomplishment behind him, while Darth Aemulus is a bad guy who has nadda.

Eventually, Nathan finally engages in an epic duel to the end with Darth Aemulus on Dagobah. Here, at the end, Nathan does a rip-off of the thing Luke does in Episode 6; he doesn't attack, he tries to convince his opponent to join the light side.

At this point, and this truly did not surprise me, Darth Aemulus impales Nathan with his lightsabers, and then is suddenly touched by how Nathan died trying to turn him back to the light. As a result, he does so.

Naturally, of course, it's not a sad ending for Nathan, because, like all of his buddies, he somehow knows the force ghost technique. So they share a cheesy joke in the afterlife, and that is the end.

And THAT is why, in my brutally honest opinion, NKSCF is the most overrated user of this wiki. His work is clichéd, even for Star Wars. It's about a great hero who rises up and destroy the super-evil bad guys, again and again and again, until his not-so-surprising sacrifice.

My fanon, has none of this childish nonsense. My main contribution to this wiki is the Dark Order War, and all of its related articles. It is dark, and gritty. There is no great hero, no ultimate champion of the people. It is about the Sith, and their threat which was unwittingly started by an unknowing, power-hungry fool, namely Jaden Korr.

In the Dark Order War universe, Jaden turns to the dark side and takes over the Imperial Remnant forces controlled by Tavion Axmis as seen in the dark side ending of the video game Jedi Academy. After some brutal battles between him and the New Republic, he duels Kyle Katarn on Bakura.

He is not redeemed by his old master. He dies, betrayed by his dark allies, and by his old friend. All that Jaden worked for, all the power he gained, was easily taken from him by the Sith, which they in turn used to forge an empire across the known galaxy.

Even at the end (which I have yet to reach), when the last Lord of the Sith is killed, it's still a draw, as by the end of the Dark Order War the Sith inflicted more damage on the Republic than the Republic ever did on the Sith. My fanon has darkness, it has real villains, and it has betrayal. It is real.

NKSCF's work relies on a few really big yet poorly-done articles for all the undeserved praise it gets. Mine in contrast, is about good articles, and as many as can possibly be made by me.

This is NOT intended to be any form of insult directed at NKSCF, or his work. It is merely the opinion of one person among many, on what he perceives to be a lack of creativity here at SWFanon Wiki.
