With the "Star Wars Expanded Universe" officially non-canon, fans of the original Dark Horse comics don't have much longer to complete their collections before Marvel fully takes the reins on January 1st. Luckily for fans and collectors alike, Dark Horse is now having something of a fire sale because from now until December 31st, every last "Star Wars EU" comic is on sale for 50 percent off, according to a recent post on Dark Horse's Facebook page.
Disney and Lucasfilm announced in April that the "Star Wars" canon as fans knew it would be revised as they saw fit. What those companies decided was that the six theatrical releases, the Clone Wars series, and the upcoming films now represented the "official" canon. All other stories told since the end of "Return of the Jedi" would be considered "legends" henceforth... a real shame for those who fell in love with the stories of that were told over the last few decades. But now, everyone has a chance to enjoy some of those classic tales in comic form, harkening back to 1991 when Dark Horse started publishing them, up until the present day.
Everything changes on New Year's Day...as 23 years of quality storytelling is getting swept under the rug, so if you were a fan of the Dark Horse Expanded Universe books take this opportunity as soon as possible. It will be your last, young Jedi...
