There are many reasons to celebrate the worlds of George Lucas’s legendary STAR WARS, not the least of which worth mentioning would be the simple fact that the available canvas is so very vast. There are countless worlds worth exploring, endless characters worth meeting, and ceaseless wonders both social and political that can be utilized to give any if not all of these stories greater meaning. And while anyone could argue that a great catalyst is needed to launch any new tale, what provides the real substance to which all of the players can react is change.
If you know anything about the chronology of STAR WARS, then you know about the galaxy’s “dark times.” Learned Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi even references the ‘dark times’ of his world in the very first motion picture (from 1977), and that’s the fertile ground Dark Horse’s creators have decided to tap into with their popular DARK TIMES imprint. These are tales that take place just after the Prequel Trilogy – when the Republic turned into an Empire – and any surviving Jedis were on-the-run. Separatist worlds were being drawn back into the fold and well within the Emperor’s grasp. Entire civilizations were being pressured to submit to the rule of a tyrant.
Dark times, indeed.
