Slaunyeh Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Without recalling the specifics, I belive the Dark Empire stuff happens almost immediately after the end of the Thrawn Trilogy. I don't remember the exact timeline, but I think it's closer to days than years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddarklon Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Well the warlords teamed up with the ruleing council and took the core worlds back. After that there was a civil war. At the sametime the emperor was makeing his move to take back the empire. Ehh. Dark Empire was just blah to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikModi Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Dark Empire sucked. Timothy Zhan has Mara Jade sum it up perfectly in Vision of the Future: Mara: When you were in the Deep Core dealing with whatever that was- Luke: The resurrected Emperor. Mara: Whatever. Personally, I never believed it was him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I never believed it was him. Yeah, that summed up my feelings on it, too. When I read the Thrawn Trilogy and Dark Empire somewhat concurrently, I figured DE was its own little thing... then reading the backup features in each issue, it said it takes place within months of the end of Thrawn. That's when DE lost me forever; some great art (some stinky), but one lousy story to include in the chronology. For one thing, as I recall, it's the first instance of Leia suddenly becoming a fully-'trained' Jedi Knight, which gets dropped again pretty quick later in the chronology (Jedi Academy Trilogy, I think). It started a trend; seems like Leia 'graduated' every other story, then got reset to 'politician with hardly any training' in the next author's work.
