Dark Empire was a comic series produced by Dark Horse Comics set in the Star Wars universe. The story is told in three parts, Dark Empire I, Dark Empire II and Empire's End.
In Dark Empire, which is set shortly after Timothy Zahn's trilogy featuring Grand Admiral Thrawn, Palpatine returns from the dead in the form of a clone body and sucessfully turns Luke Skywalker to the dark side of the Force. Palpatine is killed many times throughout the series, always returning in a new clone body. However, he met his "final death" at the end of the series. Luke is turned back to the light side by his sister, Princess Leia.
Dark Empire is notable in that it "resurrected" Boba Fett who had "died" after being eaten by the sarlacc in Return of the Jedi. It is also the first appearance of Anakin Solo.
