Lit Redundant, Counter-Productive Speculation Time Is Over: "The Star Wars" Announced

Yet they've been planning it since summer...

 

Watch episode III. That's all the Clone Wars conclusion we'll ever need

 

Better yet, read it.

 

Better yet, ask Filoni.

 

Oh, great -- just what we all wanted.

 

Better yet, don't do that and just read the novelization

 

Obviously this was totally worth the hype and anticipation.

 

Way more interested over this than over any of the Infinities series. Will give a try.

 

I'm definitely interested, but I might just read the first couple issues digitally and then wait for a trade. It sounds like the kind of thing that would make a nice shiny hardcover.

 

Well, this can't be the only thing the panel talked about.... Anyone hear anything about anything else they discussed from around the web?

 

...this would have been interesting if it weren't hyped as a "huge" announcement, which, in the current climate, sort of implied actual information about plans for the future of the franchise and Dark Horse's part in it, not a limited series outside of continuity.

 

Yeah, that's why I was fully prepared for this to just be an April Fools Day joke in the making. Which it almost seems to be.

I love the Classic era myself. I recall being in the minority in being excited for Wood's Star Wars series.

 

Well that could be interesting...but to be honest, considering the way the announcement was "announced", I was expecting more. Maybe I'm just too spoiled and hard to satisfy

Always good to hear more about my favorite comic

 

I don't care what anyone says, the ANH infinities is some of the most fun you can have reading a comic.

 

So this would be the story before all the edits? The original draft? You know, writers edit things because the original is almost always utter crap.

Oh dear.

 

Yup, but I'm hoping that that will be the concluding arc for the current gang. I like the ensemble a lot but with Vader now on their trail, it can't end well and they can't keep eluding him.

 

So we read issue 1 and go, oh yeah, I see why they had to change everything.

 

Well as much as I like the characters, I guess their story has to end eventually, so you have a good point. But that doesn't mean we can't get more Dark Times with new characters

 

Oh definitely, I just don't want another, but arguably far stronger in character terms, Invasion!

 

I have a feeling DH will conclude Invasion sooner or later

 

Well Dark Times is good news, at least.

 

Well, let's hope so but nothing's guaranteed where comics are concerned.

 

True, but I have faith in DH. Fans wanted CE III, and eventually they got it. I would be surprised if Invasion wasn't finished
