Part 6/14:
One important aspect of this move is that it will not impact Marvel's existing Star Wars titles, including Darth Vader, Doctor Aphra, Bounty Hunters, and the High Republic series. Marvel will continue to publish its mainline stories alongside the new all-ages content from Dark Horse, maintaining a bifurcated approach to the franchise.
Interestingly, the deal appears to be specific to "all-ages" titles, targeting a different demographic and perhaps serving as an effort to reinvigorate the franchise's younger audience. The move also raises questions about the future of Star Wars comics: could Disney eventually consolidate all publishing rights under Dark Horse, or is this a temporary arrangement?
