An all-new galaxy of Jedi Knights, Wookies, Skywalker, and the all-powerful Force from “a galaxy far, far away” onto the pages of in 2022. After 7 years of negotiation, the Star Wars saga will be rebooted by the Oregon-based comic and graphic novel publisher.
In 1977, the George Lucas blockbuster Star Wars appeared on big screens across the U.S. It was an instant hit. And quickly became a profitable pop-culture empire.
There were more iconic films, as the universe expanded. It morphed into sequels, prequels, novels, eBooks, comics, video games, TV series, action figures, tee shirts, and everything Star Wars.
Marvel had publication rights to “Star Wars” from 1977 to 1991. Dark Horse Comics was the publisher from 1991 to 2012. The Walt Disney Company bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion in 2012.
Marvel (also owned by Disney) took back the print rights for “Star Wars” comics through IDW Publishing. And this resulted in a reimagining of the entire “Star Wars” comic franchise.
