STAR WARS 3. PRINCESA REBELDE

La princesa Leia se casa, y no precisamente con Han Solo. La líder rebelde accede a un matrimonio concertado con el príncipe Kaspar, del remoto planeta Arrochar, a cambio de que este mundo acoja a la errante flota rebelde. Sobra decir que Wedge, Han y Luke no están muy contentos con este acuerdo, cada uno por diferentes motivos. ¿Se llevarán a cabo los esponsales, o alguien impedirá dicha unión? Seguro que el Imperio no querrá perderse dicho acontecimiento.

Éste es el último número de la que pretendía ser la serie estrella del Universo Star Wars. Un tomo que se nos antoja demasiado flojo como para cerrar tantos años de Star Wars en Dark Horse. Wood no corre riesgos y se limita a mostrarnos una historia más de Star Wars en la que no hay nada destacable. Nosotros hubiésemos aprovechado para hacer algo más impactante o meter alguna pulla contra los nuevos propietarios de la franquicia. Ahora solo nos queda esperar a ver que tiene planeado Jason Aaron cuyo primer número de Marvel´s Star Wars aparecerá pasado mañana en E.E.U.U., y dentro de unos meses en nuestro país.

Aunque ya explicamos todo esto del cambio de Dark Horse a Marvel, volvemos a poner el comunicado de Mike Richardson.

All things come to pass. So too, do all licensed deals. I am sad to report that Disney, the new owner of Lucasfilm, has notified us here at Dark Horse of their intention to move the Star Wars publishing license to another of their recent acquisitions, Marvel Comics, beginning in 2015. This will end a partnership that has lasted more than two decades.

For those who are new to the industry, Dark Horse revolutionized the treatment of comics based on films. After a history of movie properties being poorly handled with little regard for execution and continuity, Dark Horse took a new approach, carefully choosing licenses and approaching them with excitement and creative energy. Our goal was to create sequels and prequels to the films we loved, paying careful attention to quality and detail, essentially treating those films as though they were our own. Star Wars has been the crown jewel of this approach. We began chasing the title as far back as 1989, and with the launch of Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy’sDark Empire, a new era in comics was born. I’m not ashamed to admit that we wereStar Wars geeks, and we have been determined to spare neither effort nor expense in the pursuit of excellence.

It is ironic that this announcement comes at a time when Dark Horse is experiencing its most successful year ever. For obvious reasons, we have prepared for this eventuality by finding new and exciting projects to place on our schedule for 2015 and beyond. Will they take the place of Star Wars? That’s a tall order, but we will do our best to make that happen. In the meantime, 2014 may be our last year at the helm of the Star Wars comics franchise, but we plan to make it a memorable one. We know that fans of the franchise will expect no less. The Force is with us still.
