Summary: oh dear...
Review: As a massive Star Wars fan I hate to write this, but the fall of the sith empire is seriously below par, a jerky script with no characterisation, art that gets gradualy worse as it goes along and a plot that seems rushed and stunted. Kevin J Anderson is capable of much better work. If you want to complete the tales of the jedi set, fine, if not try the Freedon Nadd uprising or any of the X-wing: Rouge Squadron series.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your money.
Review: Between the disjointed, jerky storytelling, the terrible art, and lack of character development, this comic collection was enough to make me ill. When is Dark Horse going to spend some money on quality artists? Save your shekels and wait for the Phantom Menace to be released on video. Don't buy this book unless you like shoddy work

Summary: Great Read!
Review: I do not agree with any of the negative past reviews given here. I thought Fall of the Sith Empire was a fitting conclusion to the setup in The Golden Age of the Sith. The information within and its events lead up to other comic and Star Wars storylines. It is told more like a story passed down for generations, a feeling I think the author wanted. In actuallity it is a story told from the events known to a young jedi who is now a master. He is later seen, much older, in the Dark lords of the Sith series (the story of Exar Kun).So there is not great detail in points that do not need more info. You are getting the basic story as to what happened and why, and that is great. No one else has tried to tackle this era in the Star Wars history. Also, i think the art work is justified in its rought style. The setting is in the SW past, and the story is not overly detailed; these characteristics lead to a rough look that was very satisfying. It would not be perfect like the Star Wars present and future time periods. People are entitled to their opinions, but I think some missed the point when actually figuring out why elements of the comic where done in certain ways.

Summary: Action packed conclusion to The Golden Age of the Sith
Review: If you liked The Golden Age of the Sith but wanted much more action, this is the perfect addition for you to read. It concludes the events in its predecessor with great storytelling and it's jam-packed with action. This is one of the best stories in the Star Wars universe, with several conflicts occurring at once. You'll also discover an age where everything was primitive by Star Wars standards and Coruscant looked like a large Egyptian city. This TPB continues Dark Horse's tradition of classic action-packed stories combined with descriptive and entertaining illustrations. A must-have, but make sure you read The Golden Age of the Sith first!

Summary: Isn't there supposed to be a point?
Review: Once again, I state that I've never been an Anderson fan. 'Golden Age of the Sith' had some streong points, like a decent plot and beautiful art. Alas, the art quality drops a bit here and the story goes into a nosedive. There's almost no plot, save for a big battle. Granted, it can be pretty visually complex and interesting, drawing back to an old style of combat, but overall its quite lacking.

I've gotten out a fine-toothed comb, but cannot find any cohesive story, unfortunately. Read it only as a conclusion for 'Golden Age', but don't expect a lot.
