This shows how dark the Imperial period was and put the Dark in the Dark Times unlike other more recent additions to Star Wars. This is why the Dark Times comics need to be continued and finished.

100% agree. This comic best displays the true dystopian atmosphere of the galaxy during the reign of the Galactic Empire, as well as showing the crushing psychological terror it had on the Jedi survivors and how some were able to overcome it while others could not.

It just shows how deep the Dark Horse Star Wars comics were. More than being dark they also showed really bright moments of hope and of what truly being a jedi means. Showing the empires perspective and how it came to be so powerful with so many people supporting it. There were more lighthearted stories like the KOTOR comics, really dark stories like these from Dark Times, some pulp adventures like legacy etc. And the coherence among all the comics books and games just shows how loved the timeline and the general global legend of the galaxy from Star Wars was.
