When I was younger, I read a few stray issues of the Tales of the Jedi and the Shadows of the Empire: Evolution comic, but the majority of my engagement with Star Wars did not include comics, focusing mainly on the novels, video games, TV shows, and movies; heck, I didn’t read any comics outside of SW for some time. It wasn’t until I started writing for a SW fansite in 2012 that I finally decided to dig into Dark Horse’s comics, specifically something I always knew about and wanted to explore, but hadn’t: John Jackson Miller’s Knights of the Old Republic. Zayne’s exploits, the way it subtly tied into the games, and the hilarious Gryph really opened my eyes to what comics could do…and I promptly began exploring mainstream (non-superhero) comics like Y: The Last Man, Monstress, Descender, Fables, and more. Then I started my own fansite. And then Marvel took back SW comics from Dark Horse. I decided I wanted to cover this new batch of stories from Marvel (and later IDW) for the Manor and the comics hooked me ever since, as I’m now unable to imagine engaging with the Saga without reading/enjoying/and dissecting the comics.

After 5 years of new comics (2015-2019) and inspired by Eleven-ThirtyEight’s “The 20 Most Memorable Moments of the New Canon,” I enrolled Manor writer and canon completist Chris Wermeskerch to help me compile our top moments in the comics! We both wrote our own separate Top 10 lists, and to show how subjective they are right off the bat, we only overlapped on two (and 1/3) moments (and one’s rather predictable given our love for a certain rogue archaeologist)! In today’s post below, you’ll find our individual #10-8 entries, and you can find Part II here (#7-5), while the grand finale is on Friday (#4-1). So without further ado, let’s dive into the Manor’s Top 10 Unforgettable Comic Moments Part I, by Chris and Ryan!
