Star Wars: End of an Era As Dark Horse Releases Its Final New Comics in August

Dark Horse Comics will wrap up their currently-ongoing Star Wars and Star Wars: Legacy series, as well as the four-issue Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir miniseries in August and will reportedly launch no new stories set in the Star Wars universe.Following the purchase of Lucasfilm by the Walt Disney Company, the Star Wars comic book license is not being renewed at Dark Horse for the first time in nearly 20 years, opting instead to move it to Marvel Comics, also a Disney subsidiary.The Darth Maul miniseries in particular has already been upset by the Disney acquisition once; the story it tells is based on unproduced episodes of Star Wars: Clone Wars which was cancelled to make way for Star Wars: Rebels and so that Disney could move their animated Star Wars show from the Cartoon Network to Disney XD.
