A long time ago in a continuity far, far away… Dark Horse Comics made a TON of Star Wars comics, more than 500 of 'em. And they kicked the whole thing off with Dark Empire, a story where Luke turns to the Dark Side. Apparently, this thing was so important that all the Star Wars novels from the 90's kept referencing it, so we decided to read it and see what all the fuss was about. Join us as we ask the questions: Is Leia a trucker? Is the Emperor a vampire? Is Boba Fett good at anything? Marvel owns the rights to all these comics now, what with Disney owning everything in the world these days, so if you’d like to read them just head on over to Marvel Unlimited.
