The original series by Marvel Comics began in 1977 with a six-issue comic adaptation of the original film and ran for 107 issues and three Annuals until 1986, featuring stories set between the original trilogy films, as well as adaptations of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. From 1985 to 1987, Marvel published two short-lived series based on the Star Wars animated series Droids and Ewoks. Briefly, the publishing rights went to Blackthorne Publishing, which released a three-issue run of 3-D comics from 1987 to 1988. Then, three years later, the rights to publish Star Wars comics were acquired by Dark Horse Comics, who published the limited series Dark Empire in 1991 and ultimately produced over 100 Star Wars titles until 2014.

Following the October 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company,[1][2] in January 2014, it was announced that the Star Wars comics license would return to Marvel Comics in 2015 (Disney having previously purchased Marvel Entertainment and the Marvel Comics brand and publishing in 2009).[3][4]In April 2014, Lucasfilm rebranded the majority of the Star Wars Expanded Universe as Legends, only keeping the theatrical Skywalker saga and the 2008 Clone Wars theatrical film and television series as canon. Most media released since then is considered part of the same canon, including comics.[5][6][7]

Blackthorne Publishing released a three-issue series called Star Wars 3-D from December 1987 to February 1988. The comics were later reprinted in a black-and-white, non-3-D format by Dark Horse in their 2013 Star Wars Omnibus: Wild Space, Volume 1.

Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan: The Aurorient Express is a two-part comics series written by Mike Kennedy, and published by Dark Horse Comics between February 2002 and June 2002. The series is set in the Star Wars galaxy six years before The Phantom Menace. A luxury cloud cruiser has slipped out of control and is going to crash over Yorn Skot. The two Jedi must board the runaway ship and regain control.

Following the acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company in 2012,[1][2] it was announced in January 2014 that the Star Wars comics license would return to Marvel Comics in 2015.[4] Disney had purchased Marvel's parent company, Marvel Entertainment, in 2009.[3] Meanwhile, with the sequel film The Force Awakens in production, most of the licensed Star Wars novels and comics produced since the originating 1977 film Star Wars were rebranded as Star Wars Legends and declared non-canon to the franchise in April 2014.[5][6][7]

In August 2019, Marvel announced that the main Star Wars series that started in 2015, which has narratively caught up to the timeframe of the events of The Empire Strikes Back, would end in November 2019 with issue #75.[75] A 56-page one-shot called Star Wars: Empire Ascendant, written by Soule, Greg Pak, Simon Spurrier, and Ethan Sacks, was released in December 2019 to wrap up the series.[76]

First announced as Project Luminous at Star Wars Celebration in April 2019, full details of a publishing initiative called Star Wars: The High Republic were revealed in a press conference in February 2020. Involving the majority of the current officially licensed publishers, a new era set 200 years before the Skywalker Saga will be explored in various books and comics, including an ongoing Marvel title written by Cavan Scott.[78]

The ongoing series Han Solo and Chewbacca was announced in December 2021. The series was described as being a collection of different adventures of the pair, starting just a few years before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope.[79]

In 2017, limited series Darth Maul, Mace Windu, and Captain Phasma, as well as further one-shots, continued to expand the Star Wars universe. The comic adaptation of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was also released.[74] Both the Poe Dameron and the second Darth Vader comics ended their runs in 2018, in September and December respectively.[88]

For 2019, Marvel announced a number of new limited series. As a companion to Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron,[97] a novel by author Alexander Freed centered on a New Republic squadron of various Rebel ships (an A-wing interceptor, B-wing heavy assault fighter, U-wing transport, X-wing starfghter, and Y-wing bomber) in the wake of the Battle of Endor, a five-issue series called Star Wars: TIE Fighter explores the fallout of the battle from both the New Republic and Imperial Remnant sides.[98] A five-issue miniseries titled Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will feature stories of the Black Spire Outpost on the Outer Rim planet Batuu and tie into the theme park experiences set to open at Disneyland and Walt Disney World in 2019.[99] In May 2019, a one-shot by writer Matthew Rosenberg and various artists called Star Wars #108 Crimson Forever picks up the story of the original Marvel Star Wars comic run that ended in 1986.[80]

At San Diego Comic-Con 2018, Marvel announced Age of Star Wars, a 27-issue maxiseries starting in December 2018 that would span all three eras of the Star Wars saga.[111][112] Star Wars: Age of Republic by writer Jody Houser will focus on the time of the Galactic Republic and the Clone Wars during the prequel trilogy era; Star Wars: Age of Rebellion by writer Greg Pak will focus on the Galactic Civil War between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance during the original trilogy era; and Star Wars: Age of Resistance by writer Tom Taylor will focus on the fall of the New Republic and the struggle between the Resistance and the First Order during the sequel trilogy era. At the time of release, Age of Republic was revealed to have eight one-shots spotlighting individual characters and a special anthology issue with up to four stories by different creative teams.[113]

On November 18, 2021, it was announced that Dark Horse Comics would once again publish Star Wars comics beginning around the second quarter of 2022. This will include a new line of all-ages comics and graphic novels.[136] In a follow-up article, StarWars.com revealed that the first entries to modern Dark Horse storytelling will be Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories (released August 10, 2022), and Star Wars: Tales From the Rancor Pit, (arriving October 19, 2022) - both series' will follow an all-ages anthology style format.[137][138]

Greetings! It's just gone the Christmas period and I'm guessing some of you have recently received a present (maybe someone got you a volume or omnibus) or you got some extra spending money and you're interested in getting into Star Wars comics. Anyone in this subreddit will tell you it's a great way to find out more about the universe we all know and love and explore the canon. In this post, I will detail some points that will hopefully answer any questions you might have if you're new to the comics.

Probably the first and most important thing to learn is the difference between Legends (otherwise known as Expanded Universe) and Canon (otherwise known as Disney Canon). As the name suggests, Canon comics are officially the current canon, in universe. When Disney acquired Lucas Arts, you may be aware, they were planning out a new trilogy, which you know now as the Sequel Trilogy following Rey, Finn, Poe, Kylo Ren and everyone's favourite BB-8.

So what happens to all of the comics up to that point? Well everything that was established before the purchase is now considered "Legends" or "Expanded Universe". You're more than welcome to look up these comics and the best way to do it is to look into the collected editions that are still being developed to this day:

The Epic Collections have been arranged in such a way you can pick a moment in the timeline and read what they had going on at that time. There are also Dark Horse comics who also made their collections, but the Epic Collections being released now are probably the best way to go. Saying that however it has been recommended that Dark Horse collections are often sold cheap because they're no longer ongoing and didn't collect everything. So that is a route you can always look into.

Although there's no official guide, this is probably the best way to think about the comics. There's plenty of stories that are 6 issues, 10 issues, or any number of issues which are complete stories you can read from beginning to end. I will call these Miniseries to separate them from the Mainline Series. These include ones like Han Solo, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan and Anakin; or stories that involve characters you might not know, like TIE Fighter. If you're a fan of anthology series, the Age of... comics are a good way to get a nice mix of stories in an easy to read collection. Another anthology that you might like is Vader - Dark Visions, in this series we see several stories from different perspectives of people and how they see Darth Vader, whether they love him, idolise him or fear him, you get a fun read. ff782bc1db
