The Dark Times (Star Wars)

The Dark Times (Star Wars)

"For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire. "." — Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The Dark Times refer to the era in the fictional Star Wars universe during which the grip of Palpatine's Galactic Empire tightened around the galaxy. The era began with Order 66, and the subsequent Great Jedi Purge. It arguably ended with the death of the Emperor in "Return of the Jedi". The Star Wars live-action TV series, set for production in 2007, is to be set during the Dark Times in the chronological period between the two movie trilogies.

Expanded Universe materials based on this era

The "Coruscant Nights" novels by Michael Reaves, beginning with "Jedi Twilight", released in July 2008, are among the few books set in this era. Others are the novel ' (2005) and the trade paperback ' (1999).
