![]() In this earliest volume, continuity is very tight between the two titles. It’s an assignment split not wholly without symbolism or pedigree, given their other roles as masterminds behind Thor and the Loki-centric Journey Into Mystery When Marvel relaunches Star Wars books in early 2015, writer Jason Aaron helms the main series while Gillen chronicles the solo exploits of the Dark Lord of the Sith. ![]() So, let’s hit “Play” on the metaphorical hologram message out of the astromech droid already, putting on our best Ben Kenobi “Let’s see what you are and where you come from…” In that regard, it’s really few and far between the number of creators who can say they’ve had such a singular, long-reaching impact on this beloved space fantasy set “a long time ago”. Furthermore, it cannot be stressed enough that these stories are canon to the Star Wars saga- rightfully commanding the same gravitas as any of the movies or cartoon shows. However, in the four and a half years that Marvel’s held reclaimed publication rights to the franchise, Gillen has scripted more pages cast in that galaxy far, far away than any other writer. To the casual fan, this might not seem like a lot. So, for the last two weeks, I’ve apparently been wrestling with living in a world that is post-Kieron Gillen Star Wars comics. Truthfully, I don’t think a part of me wanted to write it because that would mean accepting the end of an era. ![]()
