So, I just did some preliminary research into the Extended Universe of "Star Wars," and I feel like I should apologize for my comment earlier. I stated that because it bore the "Legends" branding that it should be non-canon, but upon looking up my research, I discovered that this WAS canon before 2014. There was an organized, cohesive effort to make sure the novels, games, comics, shows, and RPGs all connected without contradicting the overall story. That is not only immensely cool, but it's exactly what I like about shared universes. So to everyone who I talked to, I'm sorry. This is a canon storyline in my mind now. I'm definitely picking this up!
So excited about the Legends Omnibus line, really giving some of these stories their oversized due! I won't replace my Epics but this makes it easier to get some of the OOP stuff easier.
Coming from a hardcore SW Legends fan, I’m a bit divided on this omni.
The placement of some stories is a bit questionable (as was their placement in the Epics), the lack of Podracing Tales is a big missed opportunity, and the stories contained are VERY hit and miss. That said that first Epic is absurdly expensive, and this is a nice omnibus hardcover so there are definitely good reasons to get it.
I know I’m going to get it, it’s inevitable that I slowly replace all my DH trades/Epic Collections with the omnis as they come out. But should casual fans pick this up? The best stories in here are the Darth Maul mini and the two Villie SW Tales shorts. That’s like 120 pages out of 1000.
I’ll say this: if you love Episode I, you’re gonna go nuts for this. If you like the Darth Plagueis novel, you’ll love this. In fact it’s almost required reading for Plagueis if you want all the references. If you love Darth Maul, you’ll probably get a kick out of it. Failing all of that, no I don’t think you’ll like it. Despite the spattering of random comics, this omni is actually very niche. I’d say if you’re a casual fan, pick up the Old Republic omnibus or wait for The Menace Revealed omni.
Edit: I should say two more things. If the stories inside interest you by all means get it. There are some really good comics in here, but there’s also some lame stuff. I’d say if you haven’t read any of the comics included, wait for a discount and keep expectations middling. The second thing is despite everything I just said, I’m very excited for this book and am so happy Marvel is rolling out these omnis and keeping Legends comics in print.
I love Darth maul, I don't mind episode 1, and I'm curious about Darth plagues for sure, do you think I should get this Omni?
Very good insight! Thanks
I was going to get this based on the Maul content and the initial DM cover reveal, however you may have changed my mind since it doesn't seem worth it...thank you
I got excited about this, but Darth Maul is pretty much the main thing I like about Episode I, and I'm definitely not one of those people who thinks the Prequels are good now. I'll probably end up skipping this one to make more room for other Omnis, so thanks for the report.
What was wrong about the placement in the Epics?
The only thing I can think of is not mingling the Episode I with the Episode I Adventures, but that might screw the flow, so I'm fine with them one after the other.
Only legends star wars Im really hoping for is a Star Wars Legacy omnibus.
So glad new readers will have another shot at this version of the character! His depiction in Clone Wars was great but this just hits different. That said, I'm a old school fan that loved Legends but there's some dope new stuff too!
So, a friend of mine is related to Tony Millionaire, who wrote the George R. Binks story. My friend said that the name started as a joke when Tony heard an old man outside of the theater say to his grandson: "George R. Binks?! What kind of name is that for a space freak?!" Just thought you might like to know, lol.
Also, I don't think he ever intended it to be actual canon, not that it matters now that it officially isn't.
I fell in love with the SW stuff with the Empire epics, I hope this will stay in print for a couple of months because I have a backlog of omnis from last year.
The way I look at the now Star Wars legends comics is as long as it hasn’t been retconned in the new comics, it’s still cannon in my mind
I just consider legends as it's own cannon. Which, it kind of always has been.
Damn that Darth Maul mini series alone is so beautifully drawn and coloured, I'm almost tempted.
Badass!
I think my favorite part of this review is hearing the disgust in Omar's voice when he says the words "Chuck Austin's X-men " lol
Could you please do a reading order of all the SW omnis that have come out? Even if it's just written out as a reply? Thanks!
The delay is actually a huge relief because I miscalculated my budget this month and need to save up a bit. So excited to finally own this material in OHC format!
I'm on the fence about this one... I do love that Maul cover though!
Qui-Gon def got the best hair in the galaxy, proly why Maul got such a hate-on!
Lmao "and...Chuck Austen's X-Men..."
This looks so much better than expected I'm excited and glad I pre-ordered already
Yes Jan Duursema is still doing comics. She did a Marvel 108 - that special edition Star Wars tying into the original '80s line. She's done other stuff too. She also did a kickstarter for a story called Hexer Dusk. It was really good.
My fav series of the Dark Horse are Tales of the Jedi, Knights of the Old Republic and the Clone Wars stuff. That book in general does not seem to have the best stories in general. I have most of the original comics or graphic novels. Probably won't get these expensive omnibus books. They look gorgeous but besides being pricey (some of us just don't have it) they don't look like I can curl up and read it easy due to the bulk.
Awesome!
Woohoo!!! This looks insane I’m stoked!
It's nicely collected but I really dislike how the front cover's big black border covers up a huge amount of the artwork. The other edition cover has it worse since it blocks the ornate pillars in it.
Craziness I was literally looking at ordering this book last night and decided to wait to see if it pops up here
Have pre-ordered all Star Wars Omnis. Looking forward to this one.
I’m not collecting SW but this looks great. Awesome overview :D
Gotta get this one 4sure....collecting all these books, I've read some starwars books lately: one word, AWESOME
The Epic Collections had a way better mapping, IMO.
And yeah, the comics get better during the prequel era, despite the rough start. When you reach the Clone Wars it is so good that you look at the CGI tv show and ask what sort of crap is that.
As for Duursema, she draws a good chunk of the Clone Wars era comics and all of the first Legacy era comics, and it is very good.
Great video!
I actually have some ideas for two Star Wars Legends Omnis that collect Clone Wars era comics from Dark Horse
Volume 1 contains: STAR WARS: REPUBLIC 49-67; STAR WARS: JEDI - MACE WINDU, SHAAK TI, AAYLA SECURA, COUNT DOOKU, YODA, STAR WARS: DARTH MAUL - DEATH SENTENCE 1-4, MATERIAL FROM STAR WARS TALES 14(Tides of Terror), 19(Rather Darkness Visible), 22(Honor Bound), STAR WARS: VISIONARIES(Artist of Naboo).
Volume 2 contains: STAR WARS: REPUBLIC 68-77 and 81-83; Star Wars: General Grievous 1-4; Free Comic Book Day 2006: Star Wars; Star Wars: Obsession (2004) 1-5; Free Comic Book Day 2005: Star Wars #1; Star Wars: Darth Maul - Son of Dathomir #1-4; Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith #1-4; Star Wars: Tag & Bink II #2; Material from Star Wars Visionaries(Eyes of Revolution, Deep Forest, Wat Tambor, Sithisis); Material Star Wars Tales 4 and 17(Dark Journey)
Passing on this one since a lot of it looks meh but I’m still definitely pick up the omni that has Dark Times. That and Legacy were some of the first comics I ever owned.
I wish they had kept the mapping from the epic collections, with the star wars tales in their chronological place. Other than that, I'm excited to be getting this
It’s just exciting in general to get more Star Wars omnis, story quality aside. There’s been a severe lack of them for quite some time, and it feels like we’re finally getting into gear
Awesome. Really been looking for this so I hope the delays are over.
Yeah, at this point I'm considering the sequel trilogy out of continuity/non-cannon heh heh
Rarely do I have qualms about getting the standard cover, but this one compared to Maul is dare I say bad? Idk, I expected more and was hoping the image of Jinn and Kenobi wasn't the final one. But being a Star Wars fan I'll still be picking it up.
I was thinking the same......the standard edition cover is awful.
Ordered 😊
Hi Omar - I was wondering what do you mean when you say you've seen a better eye? Does this mean the book will fall a part more than one with a tighter eye?
My defense of Legends: Much of this was written before and during the release of the films. I agree a lot in this Omni will be from poor to bad. Prior to this, they were writing their own stuff with Lucas's blessing. Tales of the Jedi, including the origins of the Jedi and Sith, is phenomenal. The X-wing stories are good. Mara Jade is the hill I die on. The writers ( who many were fans) at this time were searching for footing with George Lucas and his blessing because the films were rewriting the lore that they had. That took work to rework the story. By the time the Clone Wars comics comes out after Attack of the Clones, they knew what to do. Dark Horse Clone Wars was better than the cartoon for a while until Filoni got a good handle on his story. Then comes Legacy which is the cream of the crop and better than anything that Disney has produced.
I agree completely. Honestly, while I don’t by any means hate the new stuff, it really can’t hold a candle to Tales of the Jedi or many of the Legends novels. That’s top of the line material right there.
I wish Marvel put out a collection like that Boba Fett: Blood Ties trade from a couple months back for the Darth Maul content of this omni. I’m afraid people will pick this up, then get turned off to the EU because it’s just a random collection of pre-TPM comics. Don’t get me wrong, this book is going in my collection, but I worry about getting more people interested in Legends. I think a Menace Revealed or Clone Wars omnibus would have really put our best foot forward, but either way I’m glad they’re at least keeping this material in print.
@@albernardi8 I think this volume will sell, but it will hurt the sales of future volumes as to say "See the Legends stuff isn't that good." The first volume after the original years should have either been Tales of the Jedi or the Clone Wars. but it would have competed with the new stuff (I refer to the HIgh Republic the Star Trek wannabe.).
Yeah the reason I opted NOT to get this Omnibus and instead go for the older white paperback Dark Horse Omnibus books is because half the content of this book is from Star Wars Tales which was 99% garbage. The older Dark Horse books NEVER included Tales content.
Looks like I'm going to give this a miss and focus on (KO)TOR, New Republic, Aphra and Vader omni's instead.
Actually, this might be a fun omni!!
I wish they didn't add the Legends banner.
This book is an ok start. I only read Legends content, but I must admit that half of this book is really not that great. I hope they publish Republic and Clone Wars comics. If they do, my friend Omar, then you'll have a ball reading it!
My Gawd !!! That Darth Maul 4 part mini series was jaw droppingly good !! I still believe Dark Horse SW comics are the best,as Disney has for the most part,put out complete bunk to be polite,especially the last 3 plus years.Great review Omar.
Do you think Marvel will reprint the Tomb of Dracula CC 1-3 that are currently OOP?
Nice, but I am already on a budget with the other comics 😅
A lot of star wars fans love the dark horse stuff & hated the jason Aaron run.. I have not read the Aaron run & only some of the dark horse but I'm pretty sure its because things were changed around & retconned
I read the first 6 issues of the Jason Aaron run. I didn't hate it but I felt it was just too safe and more of the same. When you take into account the massive amount of Rebellion era comic content there is (from Legends) it's very difficult to do something new, and Rebellion era feels like the most overdone era in Star Wars.
@@robd9921 im going to read the darkhorse stuff or try to this year in chronological order it helps that it will now have a beggining & end
Star Wars?
Episode 1 era stories?
Darth Maul?
I’m the target audience for this book lol
Pretty cool Marvel is rolling out more Star Wars omnis
I love how you sound so depressed when mentioning Chuck Austen’s X-Men run
My Star Wars 2015 Vol 1 Omnibus is looking very lonely.
Ya any word on 2015 Vol 2?
I’d love to buy this but it seems like darth maul and the siths are only in a small part of it. Are there any trades or HC/epic collections that solely focuses on siths and maul?
Rise of the sith vol 1 and 2 epic collection
I’m a huge Star Wars fan. But this is a pass for me. I’m glad they moved that odd Ki-Adi story here so it will not be in a future Republic omnibus. One of the worst collection of odd stories that (for the most part) were retconned immediately. George did not share any of the script for Episode I with the writers. That’s how we ended up with a married Ki-Adi because the writers didn’t know what the Jedi were about at that time (before the Prequels came out). There are so many other better Dark Horse stories. What gets me excited about this omnibus though is that I now have hope that we’re getting a SW Republic by Ostrander omnibus the future.
Thank you for sharing. Which start war runs would you recommend?
@@forsakenV12 There are many great ones depending on what era you’re most interested in. The Old Republic omnie is great, but disconnected from the movies (~4.000 BBY). I really enjoyed Vader by Soule, Doctor Aphra, Vader by Gillen, and SW by Aaron. I have most stories in tpbs but the omnies are mapped very well. I wish they’d make a Poe Dameron omnibus, that’s probably the best series from the Sequels era. When it comes to Legends I have a feeling the best is yet to be released (other than Old Republic that’s out already). That was previously released in softcover long OOP. So glad Marvel starts picking up Dark Horse stories and releasing them. I see what they’re doing here though. They start chronologically along the movies. It just happened to be a time (pre-‘99/‘00) where those stories weren’t good IMO.
I think you’re right on the money. While I’m still going to get it just for completionist sake, this is a really niche collection for your average reader and may turn them off SW Legends comics.
A Menace Revealed or Clone Wars omnibus would have been much more appealing to the new readers and old fans alike, and would be a better showcase of Legends comics.
Do you think we will ever get a Star Wars Legacy omnibus?
Speaking of delays, what’s up with Batman /Superman volume 2 ?
Looks like spring now.
Legacy omnibus when????
The modern star wars influenced are very influenced by the EU dark horse comics, so they are well worth reading.
Omar do you know how many legends omnis we will need to collect the full collection from Dark Horse?
I think it will take at least 17 omnis
@@JoshuaMaster4 - crap
With sooo much awesome star wars comics from the Dark Horse eras, I am surprised that they put out these so early on. I would say that most other stories are better than these... Some are okey, but don't let the others put you of from the rest of all the great comics of Star Wars Legends!
Is it really normal these things are 80 euros?
The cover styling is mediocre considering the great art Drew Struzan did for Darth Maul #1. I've always hated the picture box on a cover. A must read nonetheless.
Lol. Why does "Rise of the Sith" have 2 Jedi on it? Lol. Darth Maul cover is absolutely BOSS.
about jar jar binks he was originally planned to be bounty hunter, George lucas liked the character,not to mention the actor that played jar jar binks cause of bad critics almost killed himself
Wow that is cray
I considered getting this, but I'm probably going to pass. I'm NOT the biggest fan of Episode 1. I am probably more interested in the Knights of the Old Republic omnibus if that ever goes on sale again anywhere, and I think that one seems to be selling well enough to maybe justify Marvel doing more Star Wars Legends omnibuses I'd also say that both Legends and Canon are pretty hit and miss for me. Some of the material in Legends, I love, but some of it was a huge slog for me to get through as well.
Do I want this book?
Of course you do.
Toss a coin Harvey Dent STyle =P
This is the book you're looking for.
Really hate the cover being a picture in the middle of a black border. Im glad the omni exists and that Marvel is releasing the Dark Horse years.
so windu dead or return on new series like boba.
This all takes place before Episode 1, so he’s still kicking.
@@NearMintCondition ı mean he can force push ground ot steal flying taxi.
Jar Jar Binks is a Sith.
Are we still doing this? Lol! Kidding. I actually love that fan theory.
@Mel Gibson 😆.. The evidence out there is convincing to the point that my jaw dropped. Search within RUclips
@@forsakenV12 Yea im with u man! It's a part of my "head cannon". 😂
i don't really get the point in a comicbook adaptation of a movie, especially if it's the EXACT same story,
A comic book adaptation started as a way to own the story before videotapes were a thing or to expensive. Later an adaptation became a way to own the story before the DVD came out. And then finally it became a collectible thing.
Hell yeahh Marvel and Disney try to erase The story? And dont want the story to be canon?! Nope darkhorse make the most masterpiece starwars story
It seems like the only thing interesting about this omnibus is the darth maul story meanwhile the rest is just boring they should have made a legends clone wars omnibus or new republic volume 1 with volume 2 of the new republic releasing in November taking the place of the new republic volume 1 which is releasing in November we could have had new republic volume 1 already out with volume 2 releasing in November they have to prioritize the most wanted omnibus over boring filler
Compared to Empire and Old Republic. Yeah. Not as good as though.
That cover is terrible. Looks so bad. Honestly looks like whoever designed it doesn’t have graphic design skills or experience
I hate the “legends” banner. So disrespectful to the EXPANDED UNIVERSE. The far superior stories outside of the movies than most of Disney’s dumpster fires like the sequels, resistance and rebels.
To be fair, "Legends" is just as respectful a term as "Expanded Universe." This way, there's no battle for what's canon and what's not (as I'm sure there was with the Expanded Universe material). And also, Disney/Lucasfilm's stories go beyond the sequels and the cartoons. "The Clone Wars," "The Mandalorian," "The Book of Boba Fett," and the current Marvel Comics are all canon now.
Lumping Rebels in there is uncalled for. Yeah it was dumb that it took almost two full seasons to get good but the last two seasons were dope.
@@MastermindAXL
Disney didn’t create the clone wars and I like those other shows but for me, anything heavily connected to the sequels or set after ROTJ is non canon. No matter how good it is.
Luke’s New Jedi Order is the best part of Star Wars and they ruined it for no reason. EU is the true sequels.
@@stephen8805 So, that's a bit of a backwards mindset. If you like it, but it's set after a certain time period, it's non-canon? That's like if I said I considered all Spider-Man stories after "One More Day" to be non-canon; it's years of content just discredited because of the inciting event. That's incredibly insulting to the creators and people working on the material.
If Doctor Aphra is the kind of junk you can expect from Marvel Star Wars then I have no interest in it unfortunately.
I loved it. The murder bots are the best bots in the Star Wars universe…. Well maybe not as cool as the Droids versions of R2 and 3PO. But honestly I dug the character, It was like reading Indiana Jones. Before it got crystal skulked.
@@NearMintCondition from what I read it just didn't feel like it fit in Star Wars and was super silly. A evil version of R2, 3PO and Chewie? Come on. Plus she completely overstayed her welcome. Clone Wars could do a homage to a Kaiju movie for example, but that didn't stick around for several seasons and get a solo show.
