I don't think it's that bad.
The Dark Horse stories got pretty stale the last handful of years - there was a monotony or interchangeable sameness to them. There is a freshness to the Marvel stuff, even if it does seem like they are trying to go big with every issue, maybe a little too big at times.

The first arc of Star Wars was perfectly fine with me, good opening splash for the longer series. I hope the major players continue to be the focus, but the longer it goes the longer they risk falling into the silly "Forrest Gump" trap (which Wolverine has fallen into HARD) where it become impossible that so many things happened in that particular time frame.

Looks like Disneylucasmarvel has paid off Dark Horse & is now offering access to those stories under the "legends" banner. I would say "well played", but I'm sure they didn't pay Dark Horse very much for this. Why would they after they poisoned all of it by ensuring the drones consider it non-cannon?

Lucasfilm retained the rights to all the stuff written at DH. Misney doesn't have to pay DH Jack to reprint them.

It's like IDW reprinting Marvel's GIJoe and Transformers series because it belongs to Hasbro.

Wow, I guess I always assumed there would be some rights retained by the publisher. (Another) good deal for Disney.

So here's my tentative first list of all the SW comics ever. I took it from the Overstreet's guide minus a few series I know I have(Droids, early Tales of the Jedi stuff, etc). I have to look at cbdb for more recent stuff. But if you see anything I'm missing, holler.

EDIT. Don't holler yet. I'm missing all the Classic reprints and lots of other stuff. Even a cursory perusal of the cbdb website shows I have a lot to add.

EDIT EDIT. Here's the second more inclusive list. Not sure if it's 100% complete but I think that's the bulk of it. So you can holler again if you see something missing.

It amuses me that there are Halloween and Valentine's Star Wars comics.
What are the odds DarkHorse wanted to do a Christmas issue at some point and the mere mention of the 'Holiday' made Lucasfilm's collective assholes pucker shut and they screamed "No!!"

I have a Hasbro/TRU mini from '02 on the list. Not sure if there was more than one set of exclusives over the years.

Lando 1 was likely the best Marvel SW comic out of the new titles so far. Fun read. Stuart Immonen is taking over from Cassaday on the main book after a whopping 7 issues - way to put it all out there, John.

The last thing Cassaday did that didn't look like shit was Whedon's X-Men.

Everything Caasaday draws make the person proportionally look like they're 4' tall.

Get Vader Down #1. Best SW comic ever, and I'm not kidding in any way, shape or form. Totally awesome.
