Best Star Wars comic crossover?

[ChrisIII]

There haven't been that many, but here goes. I'm not counting multi-media crossovers (That cover more than comics) like Shadows of the Empire, the earlier Clone Wars stuff or the "Journey to" Sequel trilogy tie-ins; and while Star Wars and Darth Vader monthlies have often referenced the events in each other, I'm not counting that either.


Anyway-


VECTOR (2008)-Dark Horse's crossover is set in four different time periods-Old Republic, "Dark Times" (Right after ROTS), OT era, and the Legacy era (A century or so after ROTJ). It's no longer canon. It features a long-lived Old Republic Jedi knight, a cursed Sith talisman, and the Rakghouls from the KOTOR games as the common link. It was twelve parts and ran through the series Knights of the Old Republic, Dark Times, Rebellion and Legacy.

VADER DOWN (2015-2016)-Running through a one-shot and then the Vader and Star Wars monthlies, this is Marvel's first. Luke manages to damage Vader's TIE fighter and Vader is alone against the Rebels and his rival Cylo's forces on a planet that also has a Jedi temple to boot.

THE SCREAMING CITIDAL (2017) Kind of an odd one by Marvel, featuring a sort of horror plot involving energy vampires. Crossover between the Star Wars monthly and the Doctor Aphra comics.

WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS (2021) The largest crossover with over 30 chapters and/or tie ins, this deals with Luke and co. trying to recover Han between ESB and ROTJ, when Boba Fett has a momentary setback in delivering him to Jabba. Things get more complicated when Crimson Dawn gets involved, and naturally Vader's out there too trying to intercept Luke. Notable also for the reappearance of Han's ex Qi'ra, who has taken over Crimson Dawn after Maul's death. This one ran through it's own mini-series, the regular monthly, Vader, Aphra, and the bounty hunters comic. It largely overrides SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE which dealt with a similar subject in part.

None of them were particularly good, but War of the Bounty Hunters definitely takes the cake for worst.
