This is a question I put to all the SW fans out there. Has Marvel with all their various SW titles and upcoming stuff like Shattered Empire and Vader down done something and saved the SW universe from complete mediocrity? Have these issues got you even more excited for the new movie?
The sales of issue 1 of Star Wars was phenomenal which showed that fans still want to read about that galaxy far far away. Both SW and DV are doing well among the fans as is Kanan and both Leia and Lando minis have also done well. I admit to leaving the franchise back in 2012 due to being completely bored but now thanks to Marvel Im getting excited again for a new Star Wars movie and continuity. Yes I was angry that the 100 odd books I read from 1996 to 2012 dont really mean a lot now but the stuff being churned out now is phenomenal. there was a lot of mediocrity in the EU.
Now Chewie lives again and we have some interesting new characters to invest in.
Exciting times ahead for SW fans. How do other fans feel?
