It's no secret that the Star Wars universe was in a pretty dark place following the events of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Not that there's much chance of a sweet and peppy ending with a name like that, but it seems as though everything that could go wrong for the good people of the galaxy did so. The arguably benevolent Republic swapped kabuki masks into the oppressive Galactic Empire, the Jedi were hunted down and slaughtered en masse, and all that was left was a sliver of hope tucked away on Tatooine.
