Our friends at Jedi-bibliothek.de have discovered two more Marvel reprints of Dark Horse material in the 2015 pipeline.
In their Star Wars Legends Epic Collection series, we have The New Republic Volume 1 coming out on May 26, containing Mara Jade: By the Emperor’s Hand, Shadows of the Empire: Evolution, The Jabba Tape, Boba Fett: Twin Engines of Destruction, and material from Star Wars Tales 1, 3-5, 10, 14-15, 20, 22. The Old Republic Volume 1 collects issues 0-18 of John Jackson Miller’s Knights of the Old Republic and comes out June 16. Interesting that they are calling it simply The Old Republic – will future volumes contain some of the Tales of the Jedi comics after they finish collecting Knights of the Old Republic?
Previously announced was Empire Volume 1, being released April 28.
While I’m all for releasing these collections (even if I can’t stand the legends banner), what bugs the daylights out of me is that they refuse to make these sets in chronological order.
we know there’s no new material coming out. So why mix things up? Why not finally have “The Old Republic” start with the Tales, then Lost tribe, then KOTOR then TOR, then JVS, etc.
Similarly “The New Republic” seems to pick at random from “roughly after ROTJ” rather than chronologically.
Same problem with the earlier released volumes. MAJOR disappointment.
