Marvel ending Star Wars ongoing

[ChrisIII]

It'll wrap up with issue #75. Kind of weird timing considering ROS comes out the month after. Also curious what this might mean for Doctor Aphra, the only other ongoing, and one based on a more obscure character.

I'm guessing perhaps it'll relaunch like Vader did, perhaps setting it at a different time like that series did. Maybe with the sequel trilogy winding down, maybe something that bridges more of the 30 year gap between ROTJ and TFA? While it seems that not a lot happened between the "Aftermath" novels and the rise of the First Order/Ben's fall there's probably something they can work out. Or perhaps the ESB/ROTJ gap, giving a new canon version of "Shadows of the Empire".

I think they want to get past the original trilogy era finally, and what is going to be the most exciting era to tell stories in? Post Episode 9. New series could launch in December right after the film release date.

Suppose the series had to end eventually. At least it won't be a situation of having to stuff five years of events into a three-year timeframe like Legends was during the movies. Hope Aphra stays around; that's my favorite and her disconnection to the larger universe means she could do her own thing without messing other stuff up.

As people have suggested I think the plan is to do a new ongoing expanding the ROTJ to TFA gap, or the TLJ to TROS period for a few years until the next trilogy starts. I suppose a TESB to ROTJ comic is still possible though.

Honestly, as long as the Doctor Aphra series keeps going I wont mind.

Hope so, too.
