Summary: My Favorite Of All
Review: in this enstallment we find our usual characters, Luke, Leia, Han & gang in quite an akward situation. in a plan to overthrow the empire and his greatest foe [yes, the emporer returns], Luke Skywalker joins the dark side, but soon finds he has lost control. all in all leia and han make an attempt to save him, but fail the first time, so at the last minute leia returns to convince him to rejoin to the alliance. this the first post Star Wars story i ever, and happens to be my favorite. it's a wonderful twist on Luke Skywalker's character, and i am almost reminded of the storyline of AKIRA, in the fact that someone previously good so can develop into something so evil. the style is very macabre, and the artwork definetly fits the story. i am a very hard consumer to please, so you'll have to trust me that this is an essential read for all SW fans. and don't forget the sequel: Dark Empire II

Summary: Superb Star Wars comic experience!!
Review: This is the first (and best) US comic that I've ordered and it was very good experience. Synopsis: The Empire is dead. Yet, a mysterious leader arise from the ashes and is about to resurrect the Empire and its horrors.
The Rebellion is faced with the greatest threat of all!

Summary: One of the best Star Wars comics.
Review: This was the first comic series put out by Dark Horse comics, based on an idea that Tom Veitch had been mentally kicking around for several years before he got the okay. What if the Emperor returned as a clone (since cloning is well-established in Star Wars lore) and managed to lure Luke Skywalker over to the Dark Side? Now, it's not so simple as that, but when is it ever? Luke is really trying to defeat the Emperor by using his own tricks against him, but finds himself in a constant battle against his inner nature. Further, the Emperor has unleashed new destructive weapons called WORLD DEVISTATORS which Luke has under his control. The storyline was obviously well tought out, which would make sense considering how long Veitch had been thinking about it. Everything comes together in the end, with a very satisfactory conclusion. The artwork, also by Veitch, is very unique, tending to be fairly monochromatic but illustrating machinery very well. It would get tiresome en mass (like an en

Summary: This one satisfies your curiosity
Review: OK, your reading the novels and you wonder why Wedge is driving a large recycler in the opening of a book. Then you read references to the Clone Emperor or resurrected emperor and that Luke once went to the dark side and came back. Dark Empire is where those things happen. It is a pretty good story with above average art work. Some of the art is stunning! It was this comic that got me interested in the art of DAVE DORMAN. DAVE IS AMAZING! Palpatine gets cloned and has a new super weapon. Luke goes to the dark side to stop the Emperor. Coruscant gets blasted (or is it corresaunt now). Leia, undertrained as she is goes to rescue her brother. The two are never more powerful again. After surviving and defeating the resurrected emperor, Leia and luke go back to their old selves in future novels ie: Leia is only barely competitent, and Luke is distracted almost to the point of incompetitence at times (one of my big grips in some books). This is the first of 3 comics on this thread. You can skip the other two, but this one is worthwhile. For an additional treat, do a search of "dave dorman art" and check out where-ever he is. You'll like what you find.

Summary: Premise Sounds Good, But Actual Book Falls Short
Review: The premise of this trade paperback sounds pretty decent: the Emperor is reborn and Luke Skywalker dabbles with the dark side. Being an avid Star Wars book reader, I figured I had to read this for continuity's sake. Besides, who could miss seeing Luke fall to the dark side, right? Believe me, you could miss this and not feel a bit disappointed! Coruscant has been retaken by the Empire, lead by the Emperor Reborn - or should I say the Emperor Cloned. That's right, fans, the Emperor's body was the only thing that died in the second Death Star. He found a way to transfer his spiritual self into clones of his former self. Knowing that the dark side was ravaging his present body, the Emperor took it upon himself to be cloned several times over to further his existence. Luke Skywalker stumbles upon the Emperor Reborn and, seeking to know all there is to know about the Force, becomes his apprentice. He tells his sister not to worry - he'll learn about the dark side from within, but he'll never fall to it. Wrong! It's up to Leia to help bring him back. Sounds cool, huh? Well, the idea of Luke being naive enough to think that he can learn about the dark side by being the Emperor's apprentice is pretty silly, considering how many times he was warned about the dark side by Yoda and Ben. Also, the artwork is absolutely horrible! The main characters are barely recognizable. And Leia, pregnant in this trade paperback with her future son, Anakin, looks particularly bad. I found the story to be flat and boring. The only thing that could have saved this for me was the artwork and that was also disappointing. If you don't feel an absolute need to read this trade paperback, don't bother!

Summary: Just to clarify...
Review: Ok, first off, I really enjoyed this book. I've been searching for the Dark Empire series for awhile now and I can't believe I finally found it. Some people may not like this book, seeing as how I've already seen people saying that Anakin is the chosen one and it's stupid how after all he did Palpatine can just come back. Well, what you may not be aware of is that Luke is the chosen one, not Anakin. Luke is the one that destroyed the Daeth Star, redeemed his father from the Dark side, and reestablished the Jedi Order, and ultimately brought balance to the Force. Anyway, the book has a great plot, great description, and it's awesome to see how Luke develops/ I personally loved it. If you're Star Wars fan and you're looking for some new material, Dark Empire is worth it.
