I just found out that John Cassaday will be leaving Star Wars after the end of the first arc in issue #6.

I don't think there's been any word on who's replacing him.
Simone Bianchi will be doing some guest art for issue #7. Which is a one off about Obi-Wan doing stuff while hiding on Tatooine.

Stuart Immonen will be taking over at issue #8.

I thought Han would get a mini after Leia, but Lando? Yes, so much yes.

Am I racing to horrifically wrong conclusions or is Vader sending Aphra to Naboo to dig up Padme's remains???

:stare:

In any event, loved the panel of him just chilling out sitting on his TIE Advanced chatting on the spacephone to someone.

I don't think that's exactly what he's sending her to do.

I think he wants her to confirm with the mortician that Padme wasn't pregnant when she died.

Space Homs is pretty cool. I hope Vader doesn't kill him.

Lando 5: I thought this was a stronger finish than the Liea mini. Definitely see why Lando goes legit. They kinda played on our expectations by making the bounty hunter Lobot's old girlfriend instead of Lando's. Oh and Lando can shoot. The longest con baby. We all saw it coming, but still. Lobot :(

Darth Vader 10: Our resident Sherlock is being far to clever to live or maybe he'll live because he's so clever. I can't really tell. Besides some Aphra backstory. Issue is really just set up.

Shattered Empire 2: Nice tie in moment to Leia 2. Do these Imperial messengers show up anywhere else? It certainly sounds like Palps said, "if I die. Wreck poo poo everywhere," and things seem to be unraveling fast for the Empire. Oh and Poe has already been born and is with his granddaddy.

Star Wars 10: Chewie and C3PO had the best scenes. Luke is getting that hands on lightsaber training he needs in the worst possible way and Han and Liea are... on the way.

Chewbacca's a five issue miniseries, so it'll be mostly over by the time this debuts. Hell, if they give it the Lando release schedule, it'll have been over for awhile.

Lando #1 came out one week after Princess Leia ended and Chewbecca #1 comes one week after Lando #5. I'd say two weeks after Chewbecca ends is when Obi-Wan&Anakin #1 releases. Marvel probably has minis planned through for 2016.

The biggest thing about the new canon is the ability to integrate, callback, and reference the prequel era post-A New Hope. As a lot of that space had been filled before the prequels were even released. It makes the universe feel tighter.

In my defense. I said I thought he looked badass. I've only ever seen him in cartoon, movie, and CGI. He's drawn with a lot of detail here.

I remember the mix of " Woah! the new villain is awesome!" and despair of "three EU fan favorites were just killed" across the fan sites before the season 2 came out.

I'm surprised they're ending Vader with it selling so highly. I thought they'd keep it going up to Return of Jedi or Empire Strikes Back.

I wonder if they'll replace it with another ongoing or a mini series?

Vader might take a bigger role in the main Star Wars comic now his own book is over. His focus now he's re-secured his place would be hunting Luke 24/7.

edit: Confirmed another ongoing will take it's place.

I disagree, except the art part. DH never could get good artists for SW.

What would you say the best Dark Horse Star Wars comics are?

I liked Rogue Squadron, Jedi vs Sith, and the Darth Vader and the {blank} minis the most so far.

I'm two thirds though the KOTOR comic and its been decent. Art quality has fallen off a cliff past the Vector arc though. Looks like it gets better in Volume 3.

Marvel announced another Star Wars ongoing to start in December written by Kieron Gillen and art by Kev Walker.

They're calling it Star Wars: Classified, but we don't know if that's the real title or what it will be about.

I'm thinking maybe something set in the prequel era. That way Marvel will have an ongoing Star Wars title for each of the three eras.

The Force Awakens comic adaption was just a straight adaption, but it looks like the Rogue One will have stuff that wasn't in the movie.

quote:

The comics will definitely expand on what was seen in both Rogue One the film and the novelization. Lucasfilm and Gareth Edwards had a bunch of ideas for extra scenes and character moments that didn’t make it into the film. I’m having a lot of fun playing around with those. Adaptations across different forms of media have always been a great opportunity to explore other facets of the story, and we’re excited to have new material in the Rogue One comic.
