"Dark Empire involves Luke succumbing to the dark side after the movies, I think, but I never read it.

I prefer the idea of a clockworker who spent all his memories on something _huge_.  He wakes up with total amnesia, including not remembering what he was building (perhaps he was working with someone else as well, who promised to clue him in afterward, bu instead ran off).  After spending time discovering who he is and what's going  on with the building mechanical oddities, he discovers the probably reason for his lost memories.  Then it's off to figure out what he was building, why, and where it's run off to (with various other groups out to destroy/capture/study/whatever it as well).  

If you're really evil, it'd turn out that he lost all his memories through something more mundane (knock on the head?), rather'n building a giant clockwork beast.  and all the other groups heard about this clockworker with no memories and though "something big" and went looking for it as well.  Seeing everyone else after it only reconfirmed their suspicions of how valuable it is.
