From 1991 to 2014 , Dark Horse Comics moil outmore than 100differentStar Warstitles . It adapted novel , helped define the Old Republic geological era , blazon much of the existence both before and after the movies , and helped set what used to be call theExpanded Universe . Now it ’s going to take on series’canon , because the publisher ’s been give the go - ahead to make Star Wars comics again .
These will be all - ages comics as opposed to the series targeted to teen and up Marvel has been putting out , include Star Wars , Darth Vader , and Doctor Aphra . Dark Horse joins IDW Publishing in the endeavour ( although there havebeen recent rumorsthat IDW might be fall behind its control condition of the license , which would certainly explain why Dark Horse is now taking over all - ages comics ) . According toStarWars.com , the publishing firm ’s founder Mike Richardson voice quite excited and not just because the company ’s going to make loads of money :
“ Dark Horse Comics has a productive history bring out Star Wars comics and graphic novel .

The big difference betweenDark Horse ’s old titlesand whatever it makes next is , of course , that Star Wars possessor Disney has declare everything to bein - canonwhen it rebooted theStar Wars universe ’s continuityahead of the release of The Force Awakens 2015 — only let in its new comics , novels , TV series , game , and so on , along with the retroactively canonized Clone Wars TV series , which began in 2008 , the then - upcoming Rebels , and , of course , the prequel and original trilogies . Only one Dark Horse Star Wars comic contend to make it to the new canon , and it was a tie - in to the Clone Wars TV series calledDarth Maul : Son of Dathomir , which was made up of unproduced show scripts .
Dark Horse had many memorable comics back in the day , including the Dawn of the Jedi serial , which was set25,000 years in the dealership ’s past times , and Legacy , which read place 130 years after the original trilogy and stars Luke ’s descendant Cade Skywalker . It also adaptedThe Star Wars , a 1974 draft of A New Hope where Annikin Starkiller was the hero . My personal favorites were the Infinities series , which told alternate versions of the original trilogy film , like if Luke had freeze to death on Hoth .
Dark Horse will resume publishing Star Wars comics in the give of next twelvemonth , focalize initially on story pose inthe High Republic epoch .
