	I'll have to look around, it's been a very long time. Though I suspect that info probably came from Tom Veitch online or in an interview long ago or one of the old letter columns. EDI-T Aha, I may be slightly off- Lucas did approve the idea at the very least, but the phrasing in these two interview clips suggest Veitch and co suggested the idea for approval and alternatively that Lucas gave them the idea: http://www.jazmaonline.com/interviews/interviews2007.asp?intID=432 RV: What did you find most enjoyable about writing Star Wars comics? Tom Veitch: I loved that George Lucas gave us "carte blanche" to think up new ideas and stories. The first idea we gave him (this was back in 1989, you understand) was that the Empire had preserved Vader's costume or a duplicate of it, and that they would put somebody else inside it, so that "Darth Vader" could continue to inspire fear and obedience among the far-flung worlds of the Galaxy. George said "no" to that. Our second idea was that the Emperor should continue to live, through the process of cloning. George said "yes" to that. http://www.ugo.com/channels/comics/features/starwars/ TV: We had great response. I still get letters from people telling me that Dark Empire was the best of the continuing stories, that it should be made into a movie, that it should be a novel, etc. George Lucas told me personally that he loved it. Some people had a problem with the bringing back of the emperor. But as I have explained elsewhere, we did that under George Lucas' direction. Originally we asked him if we could bring back Darth Vader, assuming that the empire would want to perpetuate the image of Vader in order to strike fear into the hearts of billions. So they would put somebody else inside the Vader costume, of course. But George nixed that and told us we could bring back the emperor. -----signature----- K'Kruhk, 140 ABY: "Why haven't I come forth earlier to share my Jedi knowledge with Skywalker?
