Star Wars: Dark Empire Paperback – 1 Mar 1993

Great story and art, set in the aftermath of the Empire's fall and Luke's rise to Jedi Master.While it's no longer a part of the Star Wars canon, it retains its impact, expanding the Star Wars universe and the relationships between Han Leia and Luke.Some may not like the art at first, but it has a hypnotic, dreamlike quality that means i'm still finding new details nearly 30 years after I first read it in comic form.It deserves a place on your bookshelf.

I remember reading these comics (now a graphic novel) as a teenager, before the prequels, before the sequels, and feeling Star Ward brought back to life for me. It sometimes overreaches with it's ideas but this an epic and unmissable purchase.

Great comic book series! Very happy!

Not a bad short story. Good if you've read or reading the star wars novels - fills the gap between the Thrawn trilogy and Jedi academy. Art work could have been better.

The story is great, awesome alternative follow-up to return of the Jedi!

Timely delivery, received with thanks. Used to read this when I was younger.

This is a must for any star wars fan, off to buy the dark empire 2 now.All in all 5/5

This Comic and its sequel were was only brought to my attention while looking at the Star Wars extended universe time-line in the front of one of my novels. This series follows the return of the emperor to the galaxy and the ensuing battles that follow. Focusing quite heavily on the Jedi/Sith mythology, but with plenty else going on, this series plays quite a large part in establishing how the imperial remnant and the rebels/new republic are formed. A great pair of graphic novels with good art style I feel that with the way the post film story crosses between novels and media platforms, its an essential part of a larger whole.
