Really? From everything I've heard, the whole purpose of the Omnibus program was to collect everything. Where did you hear about this stuff they don't plan on republishing? (The only comic I know of is the Prelude to Rebellion webcomic because the file is corrupted.)
Yeah, I'm talking about Republic 0 and the MyComyc stuff. Those they said they won't reprint unless the original licensing papers are ever found, even though it certainly looks like it got the rights to do so. The source for that is: http://starwarsblog.starwars.com/in...ks-return-spains-lost-star-wars-comic-strips/ Other than those, I can't recall any other instances where they denied that they would reprint something.
Would it really be that difficult for them to nab these JPEGs and print them, with an apologetic editor's note if the quality ends up not being that great?
Ah, only those two then. Yeah, it'd be nice to get the MyComyc stuff, but if they don't have the license, I understand. Hopefully in time, though.
Though I will definitely get this 2nd "Wild Space" Omnibus & am glad it's being announced (even before Volume 1 is released), I am quite dissapointed that the material being reprinted seems to be primarily from the '90's & also Prequel-era material. Even after the first Wild Space Omni is published, it looks like there will still be some old-skool ('70's/'80's) comics/material out there that still won't been reprinted, i.e. some of the more obscure comics like The Kashyyyk Depths strip by Russ Manning, Planet of Kadril, etc. Here are some links: http://dailysw.blogspot.com/2009/09/kashyyyk-depths-originally-published.html http://dailysw.blogspot.com/2010/09/planet-of-kadril-originally-published.html If this material isn't published in these "Wild Space" omnis, where will it be published?! Hopefully there will be a third Volume in the series.
Randy promised newspaper strip Omnibuses two years ago. I'm sure they are on the way, but they will be their own subtitle. There's the Russ Manning strips, Goodwin/Williams and some others, and if they include webstrips in the same series it will be enough for about three books.
So. With 27 omnibuses out, three more upcoming, most likely two more potential KOTOR volumes in the near future, plus TTT, DET, CES, and the Legacy HC's, it seems a good chunk of stuff has been omnibussed. What's left (most likely not accurate, given I'm pulling it from the Timeline of Comics page on the Wook): Dawn of the Jedi All the various Tales stories The Old Republic Lost Tribe of the Sith Knight Errant Jedi vs. Sith Jedi - The Dark Side Podracing Tales * TPM, AOTC, CW, ROTS, ANH, TESB, and ROTJ photocomics Manga TPM, ANH, TESB, and ROTJ Republic(HAD, L, and ITU arcs) Blood Ties Clone Wars Adventures Vols. 1-10 TCW webcomics, disgests, TGOD, SOTR, ISOTR, and HOTC Darth Maul DS Evasive Action Purge Darth Vader and the Lost Command/The Ghost Prison Dark Times Jabba the Hutt * Agent of the Empire Russ Manning and Archie Goodwin newspaper strips The Force Unleashed/II This Crumb for Hire * Star Wars Adventures digests Rookies Star Wars - ongoing Scoundrel's Wages * Jedi Academy Union Invasion Chewbacca Visionaries * * = may be included in Wild Space Volume 2?

Did I just miss it, or are the TCW mag comics not listed there? As well as all of the Lego comics? And there are several more photocomics than those listed.
I couldn't find Wookieepedia pages for any of those so I just waited for you to show up and mention them.
What other Photocomics are there? And yeah, there's a ton of LEGO Star Wars comics out there, never have been able to compile a full list. But there's the stuff on the LEGO website, the stuff they've published in their magazine, the stuff packed in with some of the toys and some that are published in digest form. Here's a list of all the TCW Mag comics in order from original publication in the UK version: Inside Job Keep the Faith In Triplicate The Droid Deception Terror on the Twilight Milk Run to Maarka Foreclosure A Trooper's Tale A Little Help on Hakara Suited Prize Contender The Professional The Guns of Nar Hekka In the Air Spices and Spies Hunted Burn the Behemoth Repel All Borders Dug Out Outgunned The Feral Queen Leisure Fashion Runaway Starfighter Younglings The Only Good Clanker Night Moves Jedi Masquerade Blind Jedi's Bluff Out Duel of the Fates Deadly Droid The Fear Architects A Small Scrappy War Frozen Out Bacta Raid Ahsoka's Ark Incident on Kashyyyk Sabotage Dead Shadows Hypermatters Mandalorian Memories The Collector Downhill Mask of Iron Power Down Bane vs …Bane?
Wait, what is Bane vs....Bane? about? Please tell me it's about Cad Bane outwitting the spirit of Darth Bane or somesuch....that would be amazing. TC
Since wild speculation is what we're all about, let's muse on potential future Omnibi. I've always figured that they're waiting a few years for Jedi Vs. Sith so they can pack it with Knight Errant in a "New Sith Wars" omnibus. Leviathan, Union, and Chewbacca could go together in a "New Republic" omnibus, but at only twelve issues it'd be pretty slim. Anything else they could stick in there?
heh, wish I knew what Bane vs... Bane? was about. I don't personally have a copy, but it was published in The Clone Wars UK 6.45, the May issue and is likely going to be published in the Clone Wars Magazine 18 in June or whenever. Here are my Omnibus predictions at the moment, ignoring KOTOR and Legacy. They'll surely be completely collected in Volumes 1-3 of their Omnibuses and Hardcovers Obviously not perfect, some are way longer than others *shrugs*: Classic Star Wars, Volume 1 Classic Star Wars: The Early Adventures 1-9 The Constancia Affair Han Solo at Stars' End Classic Star Wars, Volume 2 Classic Star Wars 1-20 Dark Times, Volume 1 Republic 46-48 Republic 78-80 Dark Times 1-12 Dark Times, Volume 2 (Currently an Ongoing Comic) Dark Times 13-32 Dark Times Blue Harvest 0 Darth Vader Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison Darth Vader and Lost Command Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin Purge Purge: Second to Die Purge: The Tyrant's Fist Purge: The Hidden Blade Dawn of the Jedi (Currently an Ongoing Comic) Dawn of the Jedi 0-15 Invasion Invasion 0-16 Knight Errant Knight Errant 0-15 Star Wars (Currently an Ongoing Comic) Star Wars 1-20 The Assassination of Darth Vader Tales, Volume 1 Tales 1-12 What they Called Me Tales, Volume 2 Tales 13-24 The Clone Wars The Clone Wars 1-12 The Gauntlet of Death Tales from the Clone Wars Act on Instinct The Valsedian Operation The New Republic Chewbacca Union Jedi Academy: Leviathan The Old Republic The Old Republic 1-11 Jedi vs. Sith Lost Tribe of the Sith: Spiral Jedi: The Dark Side Photocomics Episode I: The Phantom Menace Episode II: Attack of the Clones Episode III: Revenge of the Sith Episode IV: A New Hope Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi The Clone Wars Adventures Han Solo and the Hollow Moon of Khorya Princess Leia and the Royal Ransom Luke Skywalker and the Treasure of the Dragonsnakes The Will of Darth Vader Boba Fett and the Ship of Fear Chewbacca and the Slavers of the Shadowlands Ewoks: Shadows of Endor (To be released) The Clone Wars Digests, Volume 1 The Clone Wars: Shipyards of Doom The Clone Wars: Crash Course The Clone Wars: The Wind Raiders of Taloraan The Clone Wars: The Colossus of Destiny The Clone Wars: Deadly Hands of Shon-Ju The Clone Wars: The Starcrusher Trap The Clone Wars Digest, Volume 2 The Clone Wars: Strange Allies The Clone Wars: The Enemy Within The Clone Wars: The Sith Hunters The Clone Wars: Defenders of the Lost Temple The Clone Wars: The Smugglers' Code (To be released) Other Clone Wars Clone Wars Adventures 1-10 Evasive Action Clone Wars Magazine Comics Don't have a good name for this Blood Ties 1-8 Darth Maul: Death Sentence Don't have a good name for this either Agent of the Empire 1-10 Rookies The Force Unleashed The Force Unleashed II Wild Space, Volume 3 Shadows of the Empire Kenner Special 1-2 Bungo n' Rusti Get Carry-Out Luke Skywalker's Walkabout Il Potere Della Forza Battle for Theed Cries of Alderaan Visions of the Blade The Art of the Bad Deal A Hunter's Fate: Greedo's Tale Contemporary Motivators: Star Wars The Insult that Made a Sith out of Anakin Star Wars Miniatures: The Clone Wars advertisement Star Wars Miniatures: Legacy of the Force advertisement Star Wars Miniatures: Knights of the Old Republic advertisement Droids and Ewoks MyComyc stories (If they decide to publish them) Republic 0 (If they end up ever publishing it) Legacy Sequel Legacy 1-4 and more, assuming it continues Manga A New Hope 1-4 The Empire Strikes Back 1-4 Return of the Jedi 1-4 The Phantom Menace 1-2 Clone Wars 1-2 Manga Black Manga Silver LEGO All LEGO comics, don't currently have a list of them
These are the others I'm aware of. Grosset & Dunlap Ambush (adapts "Ambush" and "Cloak of Darkness") The Battle for Ryloth (adapts the Ryloth trilogy) Jar Jar's Big Day (adapts "Bombad Jedi") R2-D2's Adventure (adapts "Downfall of a Droid" and "Duel of the Droids") Leapfrog Rescue in the Sky (adapts "Duel of the Droids")
I've got the 'Bane' issue, and it's not about Darth Bane. It's more the Cad Bane take on the Boba Fett/Jodo Kast story..(and not as good..)
if the DH license expires by the end of 2014, it doesn't seem possible for them to put out enough omnibuses to complete their published materials. Unless, if they are still allowed to republish old material in new formats, or if they cram out omnibuses like crazy.
Well, I'd definitely see them put Jedi vs. Sith in with Knight Errant in an Omnibus. And combining the New Republic stories with Invasion could work. Dark Times is self-explanatory, and I like the idea of the Darth Vader and Purge stories getting their own collection. Hmm. I'm kind of disappointed in this latest Wild Space collection. I thought it would make a lot more sense to split up the Tales stories into canon or ambiguous canon, and then keep the comedic ones together with Tag and Bink and Sergio for a comedy-themed omnibus. I had hoped originally they could take the non-canon stories from Tales and put them in with some of Visionaires and the Infinities Trilogy to have a more robust Infinities Omnibus, but they didn't do that. I don't expect to see LEGO, manga, photonovel or digest stories collected, but hopefully I'll be proven wrong. What I would like to see is a webcomics omnibus or two. I could maybe see a TCW omnibus or two collecting the webcomics, series, Darth Maul story, and UK comics.
Oh, stealth puns now? Even that cover looks like it's from one of the holovids in Beldorian's formidable library.
