During his years as a Benedictine monk, TOM VEITCH formed lasting friendships with two former Trappist monks. One of those men, whose religious name was Elias, agreed to discuss with Tom his inner spiritual life, covering a period of more than fifty years. The result was THE VISIONS OF ELIAS, published in 2016 by Sky River Books and available on Amazon.

TOM VEITCH wrote the best-selling STAR WARS graphic novels DARK EMPIRE and TALES OF THE JEDI. He also authored creator-owned graphic novels for DC Comics and Marvel/Epic Comics, including THE LIGHT AND DARKNESS WAR (with artist Cam Kennedy), THE NAZZ (with artist Bryan Talbot), CLASH! (with artist Adam Kubert), and MY NAME IS CHAOS (with artist John Ridgway). In the early 1990s Tom and Cam Kennedy were invited by George Lucas to revive Star Wars comics, which had been dormant for half a decade. Their award-winning graphic novel STAR WARS: DARK EMPIRE has gone through many editions and helped pave the way for a Star Wars renaissance. Tom also conceived and originated TALES OF THE JEDI (aka Knights of the Old Republic), featuring stories that take place 4000 years before the time period of the Star Wars films.

Less well known is the fact that From 1960 to 1965 Tom was an active participant in the literary scene on New York's Lower East Side, and from 1965 to 1968 he was a cloistered Benedictine monk in Weston, Vermont. It was at Weston that Tom met the two spiritual visionaries whose stories he tells in THE VISIONS OF ELIAS.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some strong moments, but overall a silly plot
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2010
I remember reading this when it first came out. I thought the artwork was beautiful and it had a really dark, gritty feel. Even looking back, I have to say Dark Empire really produces an emotional response like no other work in the Expanded Universe timeline. Some moments were really wonderful, such as Leia's use of the holocron and the approach of the Dark Side guards on Byss. They really brought back some of the sense of "ancient mysteries" in the Star Wars universe.

Unfortunately, overall the series is just too riddled with plot holes and half-baked dialogue. It seems like overnight everything that had been achieved after the Battle of Endor was all for naught. Meanwhile, I don't mind the fact that Luke goes over to the Dark Side for example, but it's never really clear why or how he takes that momentous step. It's like at one moment he's spying, the next he's switching sides. By contrast, despite all the criticism the prequels get, I think they did a good job of showing why Anakin turned to the dark side and that it was a consequence of specific choices. In Dark Empire, it's almost like Luke just slips out of character.

I think a lot of fans imagine that Dark Empire series never happened. It certainly diverted the Expanded Universe from Timothy Zahn's more sophisticated plots. However, I do think DarK Empire has some value, especially as one of the truly dark entries into the Star Wars universe. I suspect you'll enjoy it if you want to - and are willing - to see your favorite heroes in a new light. You might get frustrated though if you care about the plot and continuity.
