Star Wars: Dark Empire II

In the mid-1990s, Dark Horse Comics continued its groundbreaking expansion of the Star Wars galaxy with this six-issue sequel series, written primarily by Andy Karabatsos, Diana Schutz, and Frank Miller. Set after the events of the original Dark Empire, the story reunites the classic heroes—Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Mon Mothma, and C-3PO—as they face a new threat to the fledgling New Republic. This series deepened the mythos of the post-Return of the Jedi era, cementing Dark Horse's reputation as the home for bold, adult-oriented Star Wars storytelling before the prequel films.
