    I think Rise of the Red Blade would make sense considering the lead originated in comics to begin with

    Eu-wise, I think the Knight Errant novel

    Shadow of the Sith almost demands it.

    The Thrawn: Ascendancy trilogy, to help us visualize all the new aliens, ships, and environments.

    Here's one out of left field: Heir to the Jedi. No real compelling reason other than I think the story might lend itself well to the comic format.

    HTTJ is probably the least talked about canon novel.

    I’d be down.

    IMO I would love a thrawn ascendancy comic adaption.

    shadow of the Sith as well

    I would also be on board with both an aftermath and alphabet squadron adaption.

    The Ascendancy Trilogy is the top of the list for the sheer amount of worldbuilding those books did, with comparatively little description.

    Plasma would probably be up there, to see Parnassos and a lot of those scenes with the earlier First Order.

    I'm gonna swing for the fences rather than focusing on realism and say the NJO - the whole thing. We deserved more than Invasion.

    Wasn’t that actually planned at some point, along with an adaptation of The Truce At Bakura? Way back in the 90s? I seem to remember something like that.

    Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor for sure

    That would translate to the comic format really well, which makes me think Young Jedi Knights needs a comic adaptation too

    Han Solo at Star’s End got a comic adaptation, so I don’t see much reason not to do the same for Han Solo’s Revenge and Han Solo and the Lost Legacy

    That would be sick!

    Honestly I’d love it if all the Bantam era post-ROTJ books got comic adaptations, released in chronological order, because it would help introduce those stories to a new audience. If they did them in chronological order it’d probably best to do a reprint of the Thrawn trilogy comics and Dark Empire as well

    Darth Bane Rule of Two and Dynasty of Evil would be good since Jedi vs Sith comic is like an adaptation of Path of Destruction and it would be good to complete the Darth Bane Trilogy in comic format maybe Legacy of the Force or Darth Plagueis could be good in comic

    Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter is an underrated book that would definitely work as a comic

    Fate of the Jedi Old Luke and Darth Krayt vs Abeloth in comic format could be a good complement to Legacy comics

    Yeah, but to do that you would need a lot of set up

    I endorse these. Who do we lobby?

    on a side note — where’s my rise of skywalker adaptation that got cancelled? Cmon marvel.

    I wish while they were cancelling comics they cancelled all adaptions. I just read Mando season 1 and man it’s basically word for word. It must be so boring to write that. I’ll take a shadow of the Sith adaption over all the movie and show adaptions any day of the week.

    Somebody's reading them and enjoying them, or they wouldn't be happening. No need to dump on their existence - just don't buy them if they're not your thing.

    Just read the Jedi Academy leviathan comic is not the Jedi Academy trilogy but is the same era and i think that story takes place short time after Exar Kun Force Ghost defeat
