‘Star Wars’ flashback: ‘Republic’ Issues 0-12 and ‘Aurra’s Song’ (1998-2000) (Comic book reviews)
As with the first series simply titled “Star Wars” (Marvel’s, from 1977-86), the second series by that name (Dark Horse’s, from 1998-2006) also gets off to a slow start. (To avoid confusion, I’ll call this series “Star Wars: Republic,” although that title didn’t appear on the cover until Issue 46.) But to be fair, Jan Strnad, the
‘Star Wars’ flashback: Dark Horse’s ‘Droids’ (1994-97) (Comic book reviews)
While Lucas Books and Dark Horse Comics generally separated their “Star Wars” products into kid and adult categories, sometimes the marketing was a bit off. On the book side, the novels of Kevin J.

And now we’re off and flying. The middle batch of the 35-issue “X-Wing Rogue Squadron” comics series — “The Warrior Princess” (1996-97), “Requiem for a Rogue” (1997) and “In the Empire’s Service” (1997) — really starts to lock in its S-foils. Michael Stackpole’s staples of character growth, post-battle banter and Imperial political plotting take center stage. In the outstanding “The Warrior Princess” (issues
‘Star Wars’ flashback: ‘X-Wing Rogue Squadron’ Issues 1-12 (1995-96) (Comic book reviews)
Around the same time that Michael Stackpole was writing his “X-Wing” novels in the late 1990s, he was also providing the stories for the 35-issue “X-Wing Rogue Squadron” comic series from Dark Horse. It was quite a juggling act, because all of the comics take place before all of the novels, but many characters appear in both
