Star Wars News
An article on Newsarama details Dark Horse’s plans for its Star Wars comics. Of note is that two of the existing series (Tales and Republic) will be ending. The fate of Star Wars: Empire is uncertain, although it “might” be discontinued at the end of the year.
Star Wars: Republic will end with issue #83 (currently issue #75 is out). Star Wars Tales will end with #24 (#23 is out).
Dark Horse refused to give information about what will replace the canceled series (“It is too early to reveal what Dark Horse has planned for after this.”), but they obviously have something in mind.
