''Dark Times'' is a 2006 comic book series published by Dark Horse Comics as a series of continuing mini-series. It is part of their 30th anniversary retooling of its long-running Star Wars series of comics, replacing Star Wars: Republic.
The first issue was released on November 8, 2006, and is written by Mick Harrison from a plot by Welles Hartley; both were eventually revealed to be pseudonyms of veteran writer Randy Stradley. The series ran until Dark Horse lost the license to Marvel and it was decided to abandon the main Expanded Universe continuity altogether.
The series is set in the Star Wars galaxy shortly after the events in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and about 19 years before Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The story begins in the days following the events in Purge by John Ostrander, and intertwines with the events of ''Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader'' by James Luceno.

* IAmNotLeftHanded: Dass does this in Blue Harvest to make the gangs underestimate him.
* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Dass tries to prevent this, with catastrophic results.
* ImAHumanitarian: One of the more disgusting examples in the StarWarsExpandedUniverse.
* LighterAndSofter: After three entire arcs of having the cast picked off one by one and sinking into despair, things might be finally looking up, if Blue Harvest is any indication.
* MauveShirt: Stormtrooper Commander Vill of Vader's 501st shows up quite a few times, serving as a somewhat sympathetic viewpoint for the stormies... then Vader asks him if Palpy's got an Order 66 equivalent in case of Vader going rogue. When Vill tries to evade the question, he winds up getting force-choked and thrown off a cliff so that he can't report the question to Palps.
* PapaWolf: Master K'kruhk.
** Bomo Greenbark is one as well; it's why he turns against Dass after [[spoiler: he kills the man who murdered Bomo's family before Bomo could do it himself]].
* MustMakeAmends: Dass's attempts to liberate the slaves he was forced to leave behind.
* RecycledInSpace: The Blue Harvest arc is basically Film/{{Yojimbo}} in space.
* ScheduleSlip: Several. To wit, a title that started in 2006 and originally intended to release every other month will see its 23rd issue drop in ''"early" 2013''.
* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler: The fate of Resa Greenbark.]]
* ShootTheDog: Dass Jennir is forced to do this a couple of times.
* SingleStrokeBattle: Dass [[JustForPun disarms]] the spicers' most skilled swordsman in one move. In an interesting subversion, the move is incredibly detailed, the single stroke taking up an entire page and shown through five individual panels.
* StuffedInAFridge: Poor [[spoiler: Crys]].
