SWA: Out of Character

[SWSF Eidolon]

By far the best of all the series so far since Marvel take over of license has been Darth Vader.  There are 2 runs.  The 1st was 25 or so issues, 2nd is probably back to that point.  It is a fantastic read and done by some of marvels best contract writers and artists.

Aphras own series was really good.

Lando's 1st series by Charles Soule was awesome.  Probably coolesy portrayal of lando ever.  He's romancing a woman whos a moff in it.  I haven't read his more recent ones.


The regular Star Wars flagship title is ok but, some of the story arcs in it are not enjoyable for me.  The ones above are pretty consistently good in entirety.

The Poe Dameron series is really interesting for glimpses of Resistance/New Order conflict.  There's a sweet story arc in it that uses Leia and Cato Neimoidia becuase is a Vault world.  She is storing a collection of her mothers priceless dresses (forget if mother meaning Amidala or Organa) in one of it's most distinguished vaults.  But it's a play for a purpose.  That was the best story arc for me enjoyment wise anyways out of it. The series butts up before Force Awakens to so it all actually gives a very cool backlog to the galaxy up to then and makes one feel very well informed.

Every Marvel comic has Disney stamp on it, sooo, i'd assume everything they publish is now canon

Ill check out Vader stuff first. Thanks. 

Id prefer to get the physical books but while down here, i think Ill just get the electronic versions.

Story-wise, Dark Empire is a must read since it contains some major points in terms of EU history.

  Re: Not New Canon stuff Hop..


  There are collected format stuff from the Dark Horse years that Marvel reprints in a series of TPBs called Star Wars Legends Epic Collection.  There are several series in it,  The Rebellion, The Empire, The New Republic, The Old Republic, etc.  They're probably 25-35 a piece and contain between 12-20 single issues a piece from the respective eras and material originally published under Dark Horse.

  So you're looking for..

  Marvel Star Wars Legends Epic Collection Rebellion vol 1, vol 2 etc
  "  "  The Empire vol 1, vol 2 etc

  You will pay up the butt to collect the original DH collected prints.  Same with Dark Empire for a quality original DH printing.  As Sev said it's the definitive early EU title with waves far beyond comics tho!  Ever since Marvel acquired it ALL SW DH stuff soared.




   DH did a whole Rogue Squadron series that ran for a long time also, I'm not entirely sure if Marvel is reprinting it in any of those Epic series yet though.

Hurricane Florence is really cramping my style. Gonna try and get more campaign details rolled out for weekend after next.

A little wind and rain. The real question is whether the power will go out. Hopefully not...

Either way, stay safe. 

[EmperorSeverus]

Thanks Syren.

Winter is coming... to the SWA galaxy.

Get hype.

[EmperorSeverus]

Don't look now, but it looks like the Hapes Consortium is trying to expand their influence beyond the Inner Rim !!

[SWSF Hale]

Ahead of schedule no less!!!

Hit me up if you have any questions about what *exactly* you should be doing for the campaign. This first Act is intentionally ambiguous.

Xim's Holocron is the McGuffin (for now). Everyone wants it. You should want it too. Go get it.

Have many Rainbow Gems is it worth?   3?  I can only dole them out in mated pairs so you'll have to take 4.  Keep the change.

Slammed at work. Should be getting an SL or two up by the end of the week though. Gotta make it tasty.
