Star Wars Mainline Series Ends with Issue #75 in November

Posted on August 22, 2019September 19, 2019 by Head Butler Ryan

Since 2015, the Star Wars comic series has been following the exploits of Leia, Luke, and Han between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, where we’ve gotten everything from the reveal of Han Solo’s ‘wife,’ Obi-Wan’s Journals, Han Solo shirtless, to Rogue Squadron forming and so much more, and in November 2019, 75 issues later, the current era of the series will come to an end. It will return in some capacity and sometime in October, probably NYCC, we’ll learn just what that means. Some thoughts on the series “ending,” where it could go/I hope it could go, and the Manor’s plans for reviewing the entire series.
