Star Wars: Dark Empire II

Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy reunited for this 1995 Dark Horse sequel to their acclaimed Star Wars saga, picking up the threads of the galaxy's ongoing conflict. The series expands on the epic scope of the original Dark Empire, with Kennedy's vivid, painterly art bringing a gritty, lived-in feel to the Star Wars universe. Though a single-issue installment, it stands as a key chapter in the early Expanded Universe, bridging the gap between the classic films and the broader narrative of the post-Return of the Jedi era.
