    No, but when there is only five comics, Star Wars plus Leia, Vader, Lando & Kanan it sounds a bit strange.

    It is a far cry from names like Dark Empire, Tales of the Jedi and Crimson Empire.(Note how two of the three featured no OT characters in main roles)

    Granted they can milk this for a while yet. Nevermind Han & Luke - Sheev, Boba & Kylo are no doubt in the works as well.

    Lando and Leia are two of the most interesting characters in the OT and if you're putting the Guardians above them, you're putting Guardians above Star Wars.

    Give it time. They're still keeping quiet on EP VII details. I'm sure we'll be getting more stuff to start filling in the gaps soon. I just don't think we'll be getting any major announcements anytime soon. Spoilers and so forth.


    And the one with the OT characters is, IMO, far, far and away the superior comic of those three (well, I think DE is the best thing DH put out).

    They need hardly any spoilers to make that happen. We got a whole novel about the border dispute on Ansion that lead directly into AotC that spoiled next to nothing in the film.


    Who liked what is highly subjective.

    Luke sells, there is no doubt about that. But so did Legacy.

    Lando is one of my favorite characters from the OT (smooth ol' Billy Dee) so I may try this one.

    Them Marvel comics is a sellin like hotcakes. Kanan is, at most, tangentially related to TCW considering in issue #2 is gonna go all ka-blewy.

    Whenever I read that word (and I've read it a lot these past couple days) I hear it in Hamill's Joker voice from the Justice League cartoon when he told Batman what would happen to the rest of the League.

    Maybe Lando dropped Lobot down a chimney stack after Lobot offered to buy him a delicatessen in stainless steel. Shortly before having massive issues with Max Veers (is he still Max?)

    Very exciting, sounds similar to "Scoundrels" except with Lando as chief. Can't wait to see the new crew of characters Lando puts together.

    I can't imagine this contradicting the Lando novels, especially if we can move them back on the Legends/NEU 'headcanon' timeline.

    Writer says it's set between IV and V. So never mind. Will most def. not mess with Lando novels.

    I mean, Lando definitely owns a stainless steel delicatessen, when you think about it.

    What do you think this series will be about? What will Lando do?

    We'll find out in July! :D

    More seriously, Soule's not that predictable a writer either.

    I changed my mind, I really now can't wait for this series. It feels that Marvel is doing a great job with the OT characters and they are getting their desrved spot light with stories that not only count but are invigorating and exciting. Haven't felt this way since the movies came out back then. And of course the wait for the next follow-up of Heir to the Empire. By the way, Zahn's trilogy was also another one that I consider tops for the OT characters while introducing new compelling ones.
