Reddit reviews Death Troopers (Star Wars) (Star Wars - Legends)

Hey man! I totally see where you're coming from there, there's practically a sea of Star Wars novels out there — and more than some that are just way too silly and ridiculous, haha.

You know a few that I think you would really love, though, because I'm kind of in the same mindset about them as you are? Check these out, because these are some of the most gritty, dark and awesome stories I've come across so far! And you really won't believe how incredible some of the writing style is, in a really good Star Wars book... I'm blown away every time.

• Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader — ABSOLUTELY. You wanna see Vader's first weeks in the suit, getting used to being this giant, debilitated monster, and being sent out by Palpatine to kill some Jedi who evaded Order 66, while also seeing the Empire begin to take shape back on Coruscant? We do that here. And we get to see Bail Organa in his castle on Dantooine, trying to hide Leia, and we visit the smoky, rain-drenched ruins of the Jedi Temple again as well... with Vader himself. Palpatine is very cruel. You spend a lot of this book inside Darth Vader's head, too, and as you can imagine there's a lot going on in there... what an intense ride. This book has it all. You've got beheadings. You've got force choking. You've got torture. We've got Wookies. We've got lightsaber duels in the rain. James Luceno is back, and this time he's gone crazy.
  
  
• Star Wars: Darth Plagueis — now, if I were asked... I would say this is the best Star Wars book out of them all, in my opinion. Everything about it, I think, is so brilliant and well-executed. This one goes in to detail about Lord Plagueis, and his "grand plan" to completely dismantle the Republic from the inside, using political maneuverings and the mysteries of the dark side to bring the Sith into a position of absolute power. And we see everything. Young Palpatine, from ambitious boy on Naboo to the night he takes the office of Supreme Chancellor. Darth Maul, being raised and trained in the abandoned factory district of Coruscant. Count Dooku, still a master Jedi on the High Council, but growing more disillusioned by the day. Darth Plagueis' dark research, experimenting on live subjects deep underground, trying to find the secret to eternal life. Tons of lightsaber and force action, as well as explaining all the careful movements and planning that went in to setting up this whole galaxy to fall. This story spans decades and I think it's a masterpiece. Can't recommend it enough.
  
  
• Death Troopers — holy shit, holy shit, holy shit. Space-prison Star Wars horror story. And an unrelenting one, at that. You can't pass this up, haha.

> I mean the original one made by Genndy Tartakovsky.

Good man.

I'm gonna agree with the Dragon. The ARC Troopers accuracy in the show was extremely good and they were getting consistent headshots on the droids.

You may also enjoy the Death Troopers novel about zombie Stormtroopers.

There are really only 2 Star Wars novels that fit into the horror genre to my knowledge (be aware that neither of them are canon anymore).

Red Harvest and Death Troopers

Came here to say this. So I will just give you the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0345520815. Great book.

Death Troopers

I thought of this as I read your title. I'm not sure if it's going to work for you thought, based on what you are asking for.

It's a Star Wars books (Stormtroopers and Zombies)

I'm not sure if it's quite what you're looking for, but I recommend checking out the book Star Wars: Death Troopers

I thought the zombie thing was a different book by the same author.

That having been said.. yes... angry about his plants... sigh

There's a Star Wars book called Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber. If you like to read, like zombies, and like Star Wars, then I recommend it.
