From 1977-1987 Marvel released hundreds of pages of comics. Are these considered EU? What are they about? Do they fit well into the Legends timeline or are they defunct everywhere? Should I buy them?

>has the legends banner

>"is it canon?"

no, new friend. anything under the "legends" banner is non-canon in the disney eu.

should you buy them? why buy them when you can download them? actually, i have no idea how good the quality of those scans are, if you can get a big collection it will probably be worth it.

When did I ever even use the word canon? Canon is worthless to me.

I'm just wondering how these comics fit into the timeline. Are they post-ROTJ material or do they happen within the OT?

I prefer to hold books and comics in my hands, btw, Nothing saps the fun out of reading more than looking at a screen and being unable to turn pages.

Awesome, can you describe the gist of them to me? Is it worth the effort?

If you like comics from the 70s and 80s, they're pretty fun. I had a bunch that I bought from the quarter bin at the comic shop as a kid.

If you're going to buy them, search out the Omnibuses that Dark Horse put out. The collection Marvel is putting out is going to cost around $100. I think Dark Horse called their reprints of the classic comics "Star Wars: A Long Time Ago."

I would try and read some of it before you go buying anything. There are some torrents of the series out there. I personally enjoyed what I've read of it, but I love comics from that period. Your mileage may vary.
